Product Description:

The 107865-0020 is an encoder interface cable produced by Danaher and supplied within the Dynapar Encoder Cables series. The assembly links an absolute shaft encoder to control hardware in industrial automation, carrying position data and power between the sensor and the machine control cabinet. Its compatibility with the mechanical and electrical formats used by Dynapar allows direct connection without requiring conductors to be terminated in the field.

This unit is a preterminated cable assembly, with its conductors, shield, and connectors prepared for immediate installation. Its encoder-side connector has an end-mount orientation, which is useful when space behind the feedback device is limited because the shell sits flush with the housing. The interface uses a 17-pin circular layout built into a MIL-style female MS connector, so every signal and supply line occupies a dedicated contact. The cable supports an absolute encoder architecture, allowing the conductors to transmit fixed binary position data instead of incremental pulses. Internally, 17 color-coded leads correspond to the connector pins, while 24 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility and current-carrying capacity without creating an unnecessarily large cable diameter.

The harness has a factory-cut length of 20 ft, permitting encoder placement on moving axes without splices while still fitting inside typical cable trays. At the control end, the jacket is stripped to expose flying leads, allowing each conductor to connect to terminal blocks, I/O headers, or solder lugs. Signal conductors carry a parallel push-pull output, so logic levels are actively driven high and low to support noise immunity across the full cable run. The conductor mapping accommodates encoders that provide position words with up to 10-bit or 12-bit resolution, leaving the required data, strobe, and power connections available for medium-resolution absolute feedback systems.
