Connects I/O Block and Cable Stocking Program
The Connects Stocking Program makes selecting cables and I/O blocks for power, sensors, and network simple and fast – all from a single source. Balluff I/O blocks and cables provide flexible and reliable connections with quick and easy integration and commissioning of your machines and systems.
The program’s cables and I/O blocks are polyurethane (PUR) coated, which offers the best overall performance based on a cost/benefits ratio, excelling in resistance to a wide range of materials, liquids, and other harsh or potentially harmful compounds. They fit the North American standard, seamlessly integrating into 85 to 95% of industrial applications. The universal connections allow for simple integration and eliminate the need to mix and match different cable types from different distributors, saving purchasing time, organization, and labor costs.
- Easy and fast selection
- Competitively priced
- Quick shipping
- In-stock
Selecting the Right Cable
As an engineering partner, systems integrator, and value-added distributor (ESV), we’re here to help you select cables for your machines. Work directly with our technical sales engineers to identify your machine’s needs and the best-fit cables, or follow the steps below to quickly and easily select the right cable on your own.
- Determine what is being connected: power, sensor, network
- Specify the power level and where the power is coming from
- Define the sensor type
- Specify the network type
- Identify how the panel will be connected
- Calculate the length of cable needed
