Murrelektronik 7000-12241-7320500 is an industrial connection cable featuring a straight M12 female connector (A-coded, 5‑pole) on one end and a free cable end on the other for flexible termination in control cabinets, sensor/actuator boxes, and machine wiring. It uses a durable black PUR jacket with 5 x 0.34 mm² conductors designed for moving applications such as drag chain use, offering strong resistance to oils and many common industrial chemicals (application-dependent). The M12 connector includes gold-plated contacts for reliable signal and power transfer, an M12 x 1 thread with recommended tightening torque of 0.6 Nm, and achieves IP65/IP66K/IP67 protection when correctly mated. Rated up to 125 V AC/DC and 4 A per contact, the assembly is supplied in a 5 m length with an approximate outer diameter of 4.8 mm.
What type of connector is fitted on the connector end?
It has a straight M12 female connector (0°) with A-coding and an M12 x 1 thread.
How many poles does the connector provide?
The connector is 5-pole, suitable for typical sensor/actuator and auxiliary signal wiring.
What is on the other end of the cable?
The second end is a free cable end (unterminated) for field wiring; the recommended outer jacket stripping length is 20 mm.
What is the cable length?
The standard supplied length is 5 m.
What is the cable jacket material and colour?
The jacket is PUR (polyurethane) and the jacket colour is black.
What are the environmental protection ratings when mated?
When inserted and screwed tight, the assembly is rated IP65, IP67 and IP66K (per EN IEC 60529).
What tightening torque should be used for the M12 coupling nut?
The specified tightening torque is 0.6 Nm.
What are the maximum voltage and current ratings for operation?
Maximum operating voltage is 125 V AC/DC, with a maximum operating current of 4 A per contact.
Are there UL-listed electrical ratings?
Yes. The UL-listed operating voltage is 30 V AC and 30 V DC.
What conductor size does the cable use?
The cable is 5 x 0.34 mm² with stranded copper conductors (strand class 6).
What is the outer diameter of the cable?
The jacket outer diameter is 4.8 mm (with a tolerance of ±5%).
What are the permissible temperature ranges?
For static (fixed) installation the minimum is -40 °C; for dynamic movement the minimum is -25 °C. The maximum operating temperature is up to 80 °C (with a 90 °C capability stated for 10,000 hours, application dependent).
Is the cable suitable for drag chain and torsion applications?
Yes. The cable specifies drag chain capability up to 10 million bending cycles (at 25 °C), torsion cycling up to 2 million cycles with torsion stress of ±180°/m (35 cycles/min).
What are the minimum bending radius recommendations?
For fixed installation: 5 x outer diameter. For dynamic installation: 10 x outer diameter.
What materials are used for the contacts and plating?
The contacts are copper alloy with gold-plated contact surfaces.
Does the connector include an LED status indicator?
No, this cable assembly does not include an LED indicator.
Can this be routed in corrugated conduit?
Yes. It is specified as suitable for corrugated tube with an internal diameter of 10 mm.
What is the typical wire colour arrangement?
The specified core colours are brown, black, blue, white, and grey.
Is the cable designed to resist oils and common industrial chemicals?
The PUR jacket is described as having good resistance to oils and chemicals; resistance to aggressive media should be verified for the specific application.
Is the cable flame-retardant and UV-resistant?
It specifies flame resistance to UL 1581 (including FT2) and IEC 60332-2-2, and UV resistance to DIN EN ISO 4892-2 A.
Are the cable materials free from restricted substances?
The jacket and core insulation are stated as lead-free, cadmium-free, CFC-free, halogen-free, and silicone-free.
How would you describe this item for procurement or internal records?
It is an M12 A-coded 5-pole straight female to free cable end PUR cable assembly, 5 m, often referenced as Murr Elektronik 7000-12241-7320500.
- Connecting M12 A-coded 5-pin field devices to control cabinets via a free-wire termination point
- Sensor and actuator cabling on production lines where a robust PUR jacket is preferred
- Wiring photoelectric, proximity, and other 5-wire sensors into junction boxes or IO panels
- Linking valve manifolds or compact actuators with M12 ports to hardwired inputs/outputs
- Machine-tool and automation cell interconnections requiring an IP-rated M12 plug-in interface
- Drag-chain and continually moving machine applications where flexible, finely stranded conductors are beneficial
- Retrofit and replacement of worn or damaged M12 sensor leads with like-for-like 5 m assemblies
- Building custom harnesses using the open cable end for application-specific termination and labelling
- Equipment interconnects in oily or chemically exposed environments where PUR sheathing offers good resistance
- General-purpose 5-conductor M12 field wiring for 24 V control signals and low-power auxiliary circuits
