Banner: BR Series M8 & M12 Receptacles – Simplify Control Panel Connections

Panel builders have new tools for bringing power and signals back into protected areas with Banner’s M8 and M12 receptacles. These receptacles let users easily connect devices to a panel while maintaining a waterproof IP67 rating. Maintenance is also simplified: if a cable is damaged between a field device and the control panel, simply swap the damaged cable for a new one—no rewiring is needed in the panel. The slim profile leaves no bulky threads sticking out, allowing an easier fit into tight panels.
