Product Description:

The 108241-0035 is an encoder feedback cable manufactured by Danaher within the Dynapar Encoder Cables series. It is intended to link a rotary encoder to a motion controller or drive so that incremental A/B pulses and the optional index channel reach the control cabinet without appreciable signal loss. By pairing the dedicated connector on the encoder housing with open conductors at the opposite end, the cable simplifies point-to-point wiring in automated conveyors, positioning tables, and packaging machinery.

The assembly is supplied in a length of 35 ft, giving adequate reach between moving axes and fixed I/O panels while limiting attenuation for TTL or HTL signals. On the encoder side, it terminates in an MS connector (female), a threaded circular interface that resists vibration and maintains pin alignment during demanding duty cycles. The controller end is finished with flying leads, allowing the installer to crimp ferrules, secure the wires with screws, or connect them to terminal blocks as required. Six insulated cores route power and channel signals; the cable has 6 conductors, which accommodate typical quadrature and index channel layouts. A braided foil layer and drain wire form a shielded jacket that diverts electromagnetic interference to ground, maintaining signal edge fidelity over the full cable run.

The cable carries logic in a single-ended format, so each channel references a common return rather than a complementary differential pair. Integrated index support provides the Z-channel needed for precise homing routines in servo loops. Its jacket is non-armored, meaning no metallic armor is present; this keeps the cable lightweight and facilitates routing through existing drag chains that already provide mechanical protection. At the free end, the copper cores are stripped and tinned, reducing preparation time and improving contact when they are soldered or inserted into spring clamps.
