The ABB 2TLA020056R1400 is a 20-meter cable assembly terminated with a straight 5-pole M12 female molded connector on one end, using 22 AWG conductors and an overall braid shield inside a black PVC jacket. This is a single-ended cable — the field end is unterminated, ready for your gland or junction box.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 5-pole M12 female connector mates with standard M12 male ports on sensors, actuators, or I/O blocks. The 22 AWG conductors carry signal-level currents typical of 24 VDC discrete or analog loops — adequate for a 4-20 mA transmitter or a proximity sensor, but undersized for a solenoid valve pulling 1 A or more. The overall braid shield handles common-mode EMI on long cable runs in inverter-dense panels; terminate the shield at the panel end only. The 20-meter length covers long drops from a control cabinet to a remote field device — think a conveyor-zone sensor or a tank-level transmitter mounted 15 meters from the nearest junction box. The PVC jacket is rated for general industrial environments; if the run passes through a washdown zone, verify the jacket's chemical resistance against your coolant or cleaning agent.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ through independent distribution. Same part, different passport — genuine is genuine, and this one is sourced to order.
