Custom M12 Cables: Tailored Solutions for Automation and More!

In the increasingly fast-paced world we live in today, automation is becoming not just a plus to have for many businesses, but a necessity for improving operational efficiency to meet budget and time restrictions. When not just a few, but all of the biggest players in any industry have begun implementing automation into much of their production, manufacturing, and processes, automation is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. This is the case for leaders in all kinds of industries including robotics, aerospace, logistics & shipping, military, medical and so many more. It’s simply not an option to avoid using automation for companies providing services across the nation or the world, because you will fall behind the competition in terms of efficiency. This includes software applications like artificial intelligence which are now becoming more prevalent, or the types of automation we’ve specialized in providing cables for since our founding in 2002.

One of the most frequently used and important types of connectors that power this automation is the ever reliable, compact and powerful M12 connector and the specialized cables we build that utilize said connectors.

We are experts in all of the possible variations, and even if you can imagine an M12 cable assembly with an exceedingly unusual configuration, we’ve probably manufactured something similar before due to our many years of experience and the plethora of businesses we’ve done orders for.

As a custom M12 cable and cable assembly manufacturer, here at Technical Cable Applications we specialize in crafting custom and off-the-shelf solutions tailored to meet the precise needs of our clients. We are ISO 9001:2015 and UL certified for cable assembly and are extremely experienced with M12 cables and assemblies and all the intricacies of the different kinds of M12 connectors, how they work with other types of connectors that we can also provide, and ensuring that they will be protected and durable for all your needs.

Industrial Ethernet powers automation in all kinds of discrete devices in a wide swath of industries. We work in close partnership with manufacturers and specialists in both M12 connectors and high-flex wire and cable. We now have cable assemblies capable of extremely high flex cycle counts, creating a robust solution for automation and robotics scenarios where mobility is required and constant. We also use powerful automated equipment ourselves to ensure quality, so we know how important it is to have excellent and reliable cables throughout your equipment to ensure that products are manufactured on time and with no loss in quality as compared to handmade options. M12 Cables can be built using assembled back-shells and field-wireable connectors. However, TCA has invested in the highly specialized mold dies to over-mold M12 connectors and cables in our factory in Auburn, WA, USA. We remain one of the very few companies in the country to mold M12 cables in North America, at our main facility or partner facilities in Guadalajara. This allows us to make large and small production runs of custom cable assemblies utilizing our customers’ required pinouts, key configuration, connector orientation for both male and female, and specifications.

    Ethernet M12 Cable

    We mold male and female M12 cables in straight or right-angle orientations. Different connector keying options and locations are available depending on the customer-specific requirements. Our M12 cables are molded utilizing Henkel TECHNOMELT OM646, a polyamide Shore A92-rated thermoplastic for low-pressure rapid injection molding. We can produce cable parts, both male and female, that are shielded throughout the length of the assembly from electromagnetic interference (EMI), and capable of 500MHz speeds. Technical Cable Applications excels in creating custom M12 cable assemblies tailored to specific customer requirements. Our manufacturing capabilities include molding M12 connectors using specialized mold dies, allowing us to produce both standard and customized configurations. We offer a variety of options including straight and right-angle orientations, various keying configurations, and shielded assemblies to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Our ability to modify and integrate multiple types of connectors, such as M8, RJ45, and other industry-specific connectors, into a single assembly ensures that we can provide a comprehensive solution for any application. This level of customization is vital for industries that require precise configurations to maintain optimal performance and reliability. M12 Cable Since we manufacture these male and female parts locally, we can modify them to meet very specific customer requirements. Creating a custom harness that includes M12 or M8 connectors, standard RJ45, and other industry or customer-specific connectors is completely possible. The advantage is the ability to integrate custom manufacturing of molded industrial Ethernet with the rest of our custom cable manufacturing capabilities. This allows us to make highly specialized, completely custom harnesses and assemblies for our customers, regardless of their industry or specialization. We are a manufacturing partner with a focus on cable assemblies, including a high proficiency in the industrial Ethernet and M12 connector space.

    Ribbon Cable Assemblies

    Technical Cable Applications specializes in manufacturing custom cable assemblies for data transfer, power, automation, and telecommunications applications. This includes the widely used category of “ribbon” cable assemblies, which are also sometimes referred to as “flex” or “flat” cables.

    These cables are typically manufactured in order to squeeze data and power transfer wires in very tight spaces with a thin, flat profile. They are often foldable or will be prefolded to perfectly fit within the intended space, whether it’s a server stack, circuit board, assembly line, or electronic module.

    The term “ribbon” comes from the often colorful cables and connectors chosen for some flat cable assemblies, usually in industry-standard resistor color code that makes it easy for electricians, factory workers, or IT experts to quickly get the ribbon cable connected in the right way.

    Ribbon cables may also overlap with the increasingly popular “twisted pair” style of assembly, where multiple colors of cable are wound together in a highly flexible way that can be twisted further as needed to fit within small spaces.
