Overview
The Turck U2444-1 cable assembly is a double-ended M12 extension cable designed for industrial sensor and actuator applications. This cable features a female M12 × 1 connector on one end and a male M12 × 1 connector on the other, both in A-code configuration with 4 pins each. Built to IEC 61076-2-101 standards, the Turck U2444-1 provides reliable connectivity for legacy and modern automation systems requiring M12 cordsets.
