Overview
The Allen-Bradley 889M-F19RMMM-20 is a robust industrial cordset part of the Bulletin 889M M23 series. This 20-meter patchcord connects high pin-count field devices using M23 style connectors with straight female and male ends, delivering secure, dependable connections in factory automation, machinery control, and sensor applications. The cordset features IEC color-coded wiring and unshielded polyurethane (PUR) cable construction designed for harsh industrial environments.
Key Features
- 19-pole M23 connector system with 1 keyway for positive mating alignment
- Female straight connector to male straight connector configuration
- PUR cable jacket—flexible and resistant to oils, abrasion, and mechanical stress
- IEC color-coded wiring (black, blue, brown, gray, green, pink, red, violet, white, yellow)
- Unshielded design suitable for standard industrial environments
- 20-meter length (65.6 feet) for extended reach in manufacturing cells and plant layouts

Typical Applications
This cordset is ideal for interconnecting sensors, actuators, and control modules in automated production lines. Common uses include robot teach pendants, motion control cabinets, assembly machinery, packaging systems, and distributed I/O networks. The 20-meter length accommodates larger machine footprints and plant floor distances where standard 5–10 meter cordsets fall short. The M23 connector standard ensures compatibility with legacy and modern Allen-Bradley equipment.
