Keyence LR-W500 White LED Color Sensor
The LR-W500 is a self-contained full-spectrum color sensor from Keyence's LR-W series. It combines a white LED source, 30 to 500 mm detecting distance, and selectable NPN/PNP output in one compact unit.
Product Introduction
The Keyence OP-87527 is a control cable built to NFPA79 compatibility standards. This specification governs industrial machinery wiring in North American installations. Furthermore, the cable ends in a D-Sub 9-pin connector for quick, secure attachment.
Because NFPA79 wire carries specific insulation and rating requirements, the OP-87527 suits panel builds that must pass local inspection. Besides its compliance value, the 2 m length covers typical runs between a controller and a terminal block. Therefore, it serves Keyence sensor amplifiers, controllers, and interface modules.
Technical Specifications
Cable Construction
The OP-87527 uses NFPA79-compatible wire insulation and jacket materials. This construction meets the flame and rating expectations of industrial control panels. Moreover, the shielding resists electrical noise on the signal path.
Connector Type
One end terminates in a D-Sub 9-pin connector. The compact shell locks firmly into mating sockets on Keyence units. Additionally, the molded strain relief protects the solder joints during routine service.
Cable Length
The overall length measures 2 m. This span fits most cabinet-internal routing without excess slack. Meanwhile, the length reduces the need for intermediate terminal blocks.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
Physical Characteristics
The cable weighs approximately 150 g, which reflects its shielded construction. Its flexible jacket allows tight bends inside crowded enclosures. In addition, the connector body resists hand-tightening stress during installation.
Operating Conditions
The cable performs reliably in standard factory environments. It tolerates the temperature and humidity levels typical of control cabinets. Furthermore, the jacket resists common oils and coolants found near machinery.
Compatibility Notes
This cable pairs with Keyence devices that accept a D-Sub 9-pin interface. Users should confirm the pin assignment of their target unit before ordering. Besides Keyence equipment, it can serve other NFPA79 panel wiring tasks.
Installation Guide
Pin Verification: Confirm the pinout of your Keyence unit matches the D-Sub 9-pin layout before connection.
Connector Seating: Insert the connector fully and tighten any retaining screws to prevent vibration loosening.
Cable Routing: Route the cable away from servo drives and high-voltage lines to limit electrical noise.
Bend Radius: Respect a reasonable bend radius, because sharp folds can damage the shield and conductors.
Strain Relief: Secure the cable near the connector so pulling force does not reach the terminals.
