Product Description:

The 107865-0085 encoder cable is produced by Danaher as part of the Dynapar Encoder Cables series. It serves as the physical link between an absolute feedback device and a motion controller, carrying parallel position data within automated machines. The factory-terminated harness shortens installation time, eliminates field crimping, and protects conductors against abrasion and electromagnetic interference commonly found in servo enclosures. Its mechanical construction and shielding profile are suited to the electrical noise within motor compartments, supporting reliable word transmission during acceleration and braking events.

The assembly is supplied as a cable assembly, meaning its jacket, drain wire, and strain-relief boots are already integrated. The wiring pattern is dedicated to the AI25 Absolute Encoder, so the conductor colors align with the device’s parallel output map. An end-mount backshell keeps the circular plug aligned with the encoder housing, easing installation where rear clearance is limited. The mating interface uses a female MS connector that locks with a threaded coupling to resist loosening caused by vibration. Each signal conductor uses 24 AWG stranded copper, providing adequate current capacity while remaining flexible enough for cable-chain routing.

On the controller side, the cable ends in flying leads, allowing individual cores to be routed to terminal blocks or ribbon headers as needed. The position word leaves the encoder in a parallel push-pull format, so every bit line actively drives both logic states for improved edge speed and noise tolerance. A bundle of 17 leads carries data bits, power, and status signals through the cable. These conductors originate from a circular insert with a matching 17-pin layout, eliminating the need for breakout adapters. The individual terminations provide flexibility when connecting the cable to controller interfaces with different terminal arrangements while preserving the dedicated encoder-side connection.
