Factory Distribution Box Cable Specification Table

Distribution box cables typically feature pre-wired M8, M12, or M16 connectors, standard lengths from 1M to 10M, and robust IP67-rated protection for industrial environments.

Cable Types and Connectors

Factory distribution boxes use pre-wired cables with connectors such as M8, M12, M16, or M23, depending on the number of ports and application requirements. These connectors support both power and data transmission, with some boxes offering LED indicators for power and function status . High-bending cables are available for applications involving constant movement.

Standard Cable Lengths

Cables are typically supplied in standard lengths to simplify installation and reduce customization needs:

• 1 meter (3.28 ft)
• 2 meters (6.56 ft)
• 3 meters (9.84 ft)
• 4 meters (13.12 ft)
• 5 meters (16.40 ft)
• 10 meters (32.81 ft) Non-standard lengths may be available upon request, often requiring a higher minimum order quantity .
