APPENDIX 1.2 Serial absolute synchronous encoder cable
Generally use the serial absolute synchronous encoder cables available as our
products. If the required length is not found in our products, fabricate the cable on the
customer side.
(1) Selection
The following table indicates the serial absolute synchronous encoder cables
used with the serial absolute synchronous encoder.
Connector sets are also available for your fabrication.

CAUTION
When fabricating the encoder cable, do not make incorrect connection. Wrong connection will
cause runaway or explosion.
