Proximity Sensor Cables and Accessories

A common question is: "When do I want quick-disconnects (Q/D) versus embedded cable output?"

While the cost is slightly higher when purchasing a sensor and a Q/D cable compared to only purchasing a sensor with a preattached cable, the Q/D output allows easy replacement of a failed sensor. This is important in minimizing machine or operation downtime. The choice is yours.

A variety of cables and accessories are available for proximity sensors.
Accessory items include:

• Cables - Pico (M8) Quick-disconnect
• Cables - Micro (M12) Quick-disconnect
• Extension cables with quick-disconnect plugs on each end (M8 or M12 screw-lock connectors)
• Adapter and Mounting Brackets
• Spare Hex Nuts
