Weidmüller 1004320100 SAIL-M12GM12W-3L1.0T Sensor-Actuator Cable
The Weidmüller 1004320100 SAIL-M12GM12W-3L1.0T is a 1.0 metre assembled M12 sensor-actuator cable designed for compact industrial field connections where short routing, 3-pole A-coded connectivity, and status visibility through LED indication are important. It uses a straight M12 male connector and an angled 90° M12 female connector with LED. With its 3-pole arrangement, this version is especially relevant for applications that do not require a full 4-pole interface but still need a rugged and standardized M12 solution.
Why a 3-pole M12 cable is still highly useful
Not every field device requires 4-pole connectivity. Many sensors, switches, and simpler industrial components are designed around 3-pole logic, especially where the signal architecture is more straightforward. The Weidmüller 1004320100 SAIL-M12GM12W-3L1.0T sensor-actuator cable supports exactly that use case. It allows engineers to use a properly matched M12 cable instead of over-specifying the connection. That improves component alignment and often helps keep machine documentation more consistent.
Technical profile
This cable is identified as a moulded and tested M12 / M12 connection line built to IEC 61076-2-101. It uses 3-pole A-coded connectors, unshielded construction, and IP69-rated connector interfaces. The angled female side includes LED indication, which is valuable when technicians need quick local confirmation during installation or fault-finding. The product family is also described as resistant to welding sparks in the T version, making it relevant beyond basic indoor automation.
Why the 1 metre length matters
A 1 metre M12 cable is ideal for very local connections inside compact machines, small sensor clusters, and tight automation assemblies. It helps reduce excess cable slack, which can improve enclosure order and reduce routing clutter. In applications where the field device sits close to the I/O or interface point, a short ready-made cable is often the most efficient choice. The Weidmüller 1004320100 offers that efficiency while keeping the benefits of an industrial-grade M12 connector system.
Weidmüller 1004320100 Applications
This cable is well suited to compact automation modules, small machine tools, local sensor mounting, actuator interfaces, and machine-integrated device wiring. It is a practical fit where short length, 3-pole M12 geometry, and service-friendly LED visibility all add value. For more information about Weidmüller, comparing other 3-pole lengths in the same SAIL family is a smart way to define a modular cabling strategy.
Weidmüller 1004320100 FAQ
What is the Weidmüller 1004320100 used for?
It is used for connecting 3-pole M12 sensors or actuators in compact industrial automation systems.
Why choose a 1 metre cable?
Because short runs often benefit from minimal slack, cleaner routing, and easier machine organization.
Does this cable include LED indication?
Yes. The angled female connector includes LED indication.
Is this product suitable for industrial automation?
Yes. Its M12 standard, connector protection profile, and moulded tested construction make it highly relevant for industrial use.
Why would someone choose a 3-pole version instead of 4-pole?
Because some field devices only require 3-pole connectivity, and using the correct format keeps the system simpler and more precise.
