The Bosch Rexroth Indramat IKS4191 is a cable from the IKS Encoder Cables series. It features an M23 17-pin male connector on the controller end and an M23 17-pin female connector on the encoder end, with a total shield for protection. The cable supports up to 5 million bending cycles and uses a PUR orange jacket with an overall diameter of 9.7 mm.

Product Description:
The IKS4191 cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the IKS Encoder Cables series. Designed for drive systems that employ absolute encoders, the assembly carries both supply power and high-speed feedback signals between the motor and the controller, ensuring closed-loop positioning in industrial automation cells. Its mechanical construction and electrical pin-out follows Rexroth standards, so the cable can be installed without field modifications during maintenance or machine commissioning.
It has an outer diameter of 9.7 mm, which allows routing through standard drag-chain separators without overcrowding. Four power conductors with a cross-section of 4×1.0 mm² deliver a stable 24 V supply to the encoder, while the differential pairs adopt a 4×2×0.14 + 4×0.14 mm² geometry to minimise crosstalk. On the controller side the cable terminates in an M23 17-pin male connector, and the encoder side is fitted with an M23 17-pin female plug, enabling direct docking to Indramat motor housings. A polyurethane jacket increases abrasion resistance, and the orange RAL 2003 colour keeps the feedback channel identifiable inside multi-cable bundles.
The cable supports the EnDat 2.x (GDM/GDS 2.x) protocol, so bidirectional position and memory data travel with clock frequencies suited to high-resolution feedback. A Total Shield encompassing all cores establishes a low-impedance path for noise and complements the pair twisting used on the data lines. Mechanical durability is demonstrated by 5 Million guaranteed bending cycles when the minimum radius is respected, making the lead suitable for continuously moving axes. Copper conductors can operate up to +80 °C, permitting installation beside motors or brakes that radiate moderate heat. These capabilities unite with the PUR sheath to provide a reliable connection throughout long production shifts.
