Active XU Photoelectric Sensor with Cable Connection
The XUY457NB3P2 is a current-production photoelectric sensor from Schneider Electric's XU series, shipped in box packaging with a fixed 2-meter cable for direct wiring. No connector to crimp — just strip and terminate at the control cabinet, which suits retrofit or panel builds where M8 pigtails add an extra junction.
The functional peers XUYFLNEP60120 (120mm through-beam) and XUYFANEP60030 (30mm through-beam) share the XU platform and 12–24 V supply, but both terminate with an M8 connector. The XUY457NB3P2 uses a 2m cable instead — so it does not drop into a panel wired for an M8 sensor without a breakout or rewiring. Choose the cable version when you want a continuous run from sensor to terminal block and one less connector to fail in washdown or vibration.
