Product Description:
The 108241-0055 cable belongs to the Dynapar Encoder Cables series and is manufactured by Danaher. It serves as an interconnect between rotary encoders and motion controllers, transmitting incremental position data to drives and PLCs in material-handling, packaging, and general automation equipment. Its construction and electrical layout are matched to standard industrial feedback hardware, allowing signals to be routed without custom pinouts or adapters. The cable supports reliable communication between feedback devices and control equipment in machinery that requires accurate position monitoring.
Its signal interface uses a 6-pin layout inside an MS connector with female contacts at the encoder end, providing a keyed circular coupling that resists vibration while preserving pin orientation. At the opposite end, the conductors terminate as flying leads, allowing direct connection to terminal blocks or solder lugs without an additional plug. To minimize electromagnetic interference, the cable uses a shielded construction, and the conductors carry incremental A, B, and reference pulses in a single-ended format referenced to a common conductor. The six individual wires support both quadrature channels and the index pulse. This index channel allows system software to establish a zero-position reference during an automatic homing sequence after power is applied. An untwisted drain wire and an overall foil shield improve noise rejection in industrial environments with motors, contactors, and variable-frequency drives.
The conductors are sized at 22 AWG and 24 AWG, balancing strand flexibility with the current capacity needed for encoder electronics. The insulation tolerates storage and cold-start conditions down to -20 °C. It also withstands temperatures up to +105 °C inside heated enclosures. This operating range helps preserve signal integrity when the cable is exposed to substantial temperature changes during machine startup and continuous operation. The combination of flexible conductors, keyed connectivity, and overall shielding supports routing through automation equipment while protecting low-level encoder signals from surrounding electrical noise.
