Product Description:

The 107865-0060 cable assembly is part of the Dynapar Encoder Cables series produced by Danaher. As an accessory for rotary or linear encoders, it establishes the electrical path between a feedback device and motion-control electronics inside automated machinery. By carrying incremental or absolute position signals with organized conductors and shielding, the assembly helps maintain signal integrity across the distance between an encoder body and its control rack. Typical applications include servo axes on packaging lines, conveyors, and material-handling stations where deterministic feedback is required for synchronized motion.

At the encoder side, the cable terminates in an end-mount shell that positions a female MS connector perpendicular to the cable axis, minimizing bending stress inside the encoder housing. The insert has a 17-pin contact layout, so each signal line occupies its own contact to reduce crosstalk. The conductors consist of twisted, tinned copper strands sized at 24 AWG, balancing voltage drop with the routing flexibility needed in compact cable chains. Termination by Danaher provides consistent impedance and contact seating torque while eliminating variations associated with field crimping.

On the controller side, the assembly has flying leads, allowing each core to be routed to terminal blocks or drive connectors as required by the machine layout. The design supports parallel signaling, so dedicated conductors are available for channel A, channel B, the index signal, and power without multiplexing. Signal polarity is compatible with a push-pull driver topology, permitting bidirectional current flow that improves noise immunity compared with open-collector interfaces. An included mating plug provides a sealed connection at the encoder face without requiring additional connection hardware.
