NEBU-M8W3-K-2.5-LE3

Product information

Product Overview

The NEBU is Festo’s modular connecting-cable system: sockets, cable lengths and cable qualities can be combined, and Festo states that it matches all devices with M8 and M12 plugs such as proximity switches, pressure switches, sensors, transmitters and flow sensors. The code carries the socket form, the pin count, the cable length and the termination, so a machine can be wired with one cable family.

This page covers NEBU-M8W3-K-2.5-LE3 — Festo type code NEBU-M8W3-K-2.5-LE3, order number 541338. Everything below is taken from Festo’s own product data for this order number: the technical values, the category path, the GTIN and the lifecycle notice are all reproduced from the manufacturer’s page rather than paraphrased, so you can check them against Festo’s documentation before you buy.

Why Buyers Specify This Model

• Modular system — socket type, cable length and cable quality are combined in the code
• Matches M8 and M12 devices: proximity switches, pressure switches, sensors, transmitters and flow sensors
• Also built specifically for valve terminals, with connection-box codes given in the code
• Available with an open end or with a plug on the far side, depending on the code
• Shielded variants exist in the family for signals that need it
• Tubes, fittings, plugs and cables
• Connecting cables for valve terminals

Technical Specifications (Official Festo Data)

Festo publishes the parameter set for this product in the series catalogue rather than as a per-article key/value block, so we do not reproduce a shortened table here. The ordering data below and the catalogue link give you Festo’s own figures. Send us the values you need and we will pull them from the manufacturer’s catalogue for your variant.

The order number and the type code both have to match. A single character in the type code can change the valve function, the cushioning or the connection, and it always changes the order number.

Lifecycle and Availability

Festo’s product page for this order number does not currently carry a discontinuation or successor notice, so we list it as a standard catalogue item. Availability is always confirmed against Festo’s stock at the time you order — we do not keep a stock figure on this page because it would be out of date the day it was written.

Official Documentation

Every figure on this page comes from Festo. Use the manufacturer’s own documents to verify it:

• Festo official product page — NEBU-M8W3-K-2.5-LE3 — the source of the technical values and the lifecycle notice above.
• Festo official series catalogue (PDF) — Festo’s own catalogue for this series, including the type code breakdown and the ordering data for every variant.

Ordering This Part

Before we quote, please confirm:

• the complete Festo type code, exactly as it appears on the drawing or the nameplate — not just the series name;
• the order number if you have it, so we can cross-check the code against Festo’s catalogue;
• the quantity and the delivery address;
• for cylinders, the stroke and the mounting style, because both are fields in the order code;
• for valves and sensors, the electrical connection and the voltage, because these are fields in the order code.

Send us a photograph of the nameplate if the code is hard to read — that is usually the fastest way to avoid shipping the wrong variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I read NEBU-M8W3-K-2.5-LE3?
In the NEBU code, M8 is the thread, W3 is the socket form and pin count, K is the cable type, 2.5 is the cable length in metres and LE3 identifies the termination. Festo lists this variant as the connecting cable for connection-box code R8 with a 3-pin angled socket, M8x1, and an open end.

Is this cable still available?
Festo’s product page for this variant currently shows a lifecycle notice that the product is planned to be discontinued and that a newer product is available. We reproduce that notice. If you need a replacement for an existing machine, send us the code and we will tell you what is still obtainable.

What is the difference between the K, KN and P cable types?
The cable-type letter in the code identifies the cable construction. Festo uses it to distinguish, for example, sheathed and unsheathed versions of otherwise identical cables. Because the plug and the cable type are both in the code, quote the complete string.

Can you supply the cable with a plug on both ends?
Yes — the NEBU family includes cables terminated at both ends as well as open-end cables. Tell us what is at each end of the run and we will match the code.
