Weidmüller 1004320200 SAIL-M12GM12W-3L2.0T Sensor-Actuator Cable
The Weidmüller 1004320200 SAIL-M12GM12W-3L2.0T is a 2.0 metre M12 sensor-actuator cable designed for 3-pole industrial field connectivity where reliable routing, compact connector geometry, and ready-made installation all matter. It uses a straight male M12 connector on one end and an angled female M12 connector with LED on the other. The result is a practical cable assembly for automation systems that need more reach than very short local patching but still benefit from controlled routing and a standardized connection interface.
What defines this cable technically
The product data identifies this as an assembled M12 / M12 connection line with 3 poles, A-coding, unshielded construction, and connector-level IP69 protection. The family is built to IEC 61076-2-101 and uses moulded tested connectors. The angled female connector includes LED indication, which supports quick status checks in the field. In industrial practice, those features make the Weidmüller 1004320200 a useful choice when engineers want a dependable off-the-shelf M12 cable rather than custom field termination.
Why a 2 metre 3-pole M12 cable is so practical
Two metres is a highly versatile cable length in automation. It works well for short machine sections, control cabinet to device routing, and localized field connections where 1 or 1.5 metres may be too restrictive. The 3-pole format also makes it ideal for simpler devices that do not require four conductors. Because the cable arrives assembled and tested, it reduces installation time and helps standardize connectivity across the machine or line. These practical benefits are a big reason why 2 m M12 sensor cables remain a frequent choice in industrial applications.
Why this cable fits demanding environments
The SAIL T-version family is described as resistant to welding sparks, which expands its relevance beyond general indoor automation. Combined with moulded connectors and a rugged industrial connector format, that gives the cable broader appeal in machine-building environments where durability matters. The LED-equipped angled female side also helps reduce troubleshooting time by providing a more immediate visual reference at the device connection point.
Weidmüller 1004320200 Typical use cases
This Weidmüller cable is relevant for sensor wiring, actuator interfaces, machine subassemblies, packaging systems, conveyor controls, and industrial field devices using 3-pole M12 connectivity. Its 2 metre length is one of the most flexible options for everyday machine wiring.

Weidmüller 1004320200 FAQ
What is the Weidmüller 1004320200 used for?
It is used to connect 3-pole M12 sensors or actuators in industrial automation systems over a medium short distance.
Why is 2 metres a popular length?
Because it offers strong routing flexibility without producing too much excess cable in most machine applications.
Does this cable have LED indication?
Yes. The angled female connector includes LED indication.
Is it suitable for harsh machine environments?
Yes. The family design includes moulded connectors, IP69 connector profile, and welding-spark-resistant positioning.
Why choose a preassembled M12 cable instead of field wiring?
Because it reduces installation variability, saves time, and provides a more consistent connection quality.
