Product Description:

The 1400209-0015 cable assembly is produced by Danaher within the Dynapar Encoder Cables series. It links rotary or linear encoders to motion controllers, carrying incremental position signals while maintaining the electrical integrity required for closed-loop motion. By matching the connector style and conductor profile used on Dynapar feedback devices, the assembly helps automated axes retain precise position information across gantries, conveyors, and tooling stations.

Its jacket consists of an armored sheath that resists crushing and cuts when the routing path crosses machine frames or other exposed areas. A total length of 15 ft allows moving encoder heads to reach stationary control panels without creating excessive capacitance. On the encoder end, the cable terminates in a female MS connector; the threaded coupling ring secures the connection, and the keyed insert prevents pin misalignment. The insert uses a six-pin pattern, providing dedicated circuits for the incremental channels, reference signal, and power supply. Internally, the tinned copper cores use 22 AWG conductors that provide adequate current capacity while remaining flexible enough for moving cable routes.

The product is supplied as a complete cable assembly with the encoder-side termination already installed, avoiding the need to add that connector in the field. Its signal levels are compatible with single-ended drivers, allowing the controller to receive TTL or HTL inputs without differential conversion. The opposite end is supplied with flying leads, allowing the six color-coded wires to connect to screw terminals, solder lugs, or pluggable headers. The six conductors support the A, B, and Z channels along with the required power connections and shield drain path. The armored exterior protects the internal signal conductors where the cable may contact machine structures, while the flexible cores accommodate routing between the encoder and stationary control equipment.
