The A6 series servo motors come standard with the following cables:

  • Motor Cable: AS7-C-PWR075-3.0
  • Encoder Cable: AS7-C-ENC076-3.0

Of these two cables, the encoder cable features an internal shield, while the motor cable is unshielded. If you require a shielded version of the motor cable, please contact us for customization. Shielded motor cables can also be customized in 5 m and 10 m lengths:

The same applies to motor cables that include brake wires.

Furthermore, all A6 series cables currently sold by STEPPERONLINE are fixed-installation cables (not rated for continuous flexing) and are not suitable for use in cable carrier applications. Using non-flex-rated cables in cable carrier applications may result in premature cable failure, signal degradation, or motor malfunction. However, we do offer a customization service for cables rated for continuous flexing in cable carriers.
