Festo 18625 is a KMP3-25P-16-10 connecting cable designed for industrial automation applications requiring a reliable interface between field devices and control equipment. It features a 25-pin Sub-D socket with an angled cable outlet on the field device side and an open-ended cable connection on the control side, using 18 occupied cores for signal and control wiring.
This 10 m standard cable supports a nominal 24 V DC operating voltage, with a DC operating range of 0 to 30 V and a current rating of 3 A at 40 °C. Built to DIN 41652, it has a grey PVC cable sheath, PA housing, NBR seals, and gold-plated copper alloy contacts for dependable electrical connectivity in demanding industrial environments.
With an IP65 degree of protection when mounted, the Festo 18625 is suitable for installations where protection against dust and water ingress is required. It operates in ambient temperatures from -25 °C to 70 °C, with a flexible cable installation range of -5 °C to 70 °C. The cable has an 8.5 mm diameter, 18 x 0.34 mm² conductor structure, and supports fixed and flexible routing with bending radii of 45 mm and 90 mm respectively.

What connector style does this cable use?
The field-device end uses an angled, rectangular Sub-D socket connector with 25 pins. Of these, 18 pins or cores are occupied.
What is the cable length?
The cable length is 10 m, which is suitable for panel-to-machine or field-device connections where additional routing distance is required.
What voltage range is this cable rated for?
The cable is rated for a DC operating voltage range of 0 V to 30 V, with a nominal DC operating voltage of 24 V.
What current rating does this cable have?
The current rating is 3 A at 40 °C, based on the manufacturer’s stated electrical specification for this connecting cable.
What is the degree of protection?
The cable has an IP65 degree of protection when installed in its assembled state, helping protect the connection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets in suitable installations.
What is the operating temperature range?
The ambient operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C. For moving cable installation, the ambient range is -5 °C to 70 °C.
What materials are used in this cable assembly?
The cable sheath is PVC, the housing is PA, the seals are NBR, and the electrical contacts are made from gold-plated copper alloy.
What is the cable construction?
The cable construction is 18 x 0.34 mm², with a nominal conductor cross-section of 0.34 mm². The wire ends are blunt cut at the open end.
What bending radius should be considered during installation?
For fixed cable installation, the bending radius is 45 mm. For moving cable installation, the bending radius is 90 mm.
Is this cable RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The Festo 18625 is listed as RoHS-compliant and carries CE and UKCA markings in relation to RoHS requirements.
