Connector End 1 (Motor Side): M23, 17-pin, straight, male

Connector End 2 (Drive Side): M23, 17-pin, straight, male (or female depending on drive)

Cable Type: Shielded, twisted-pair, PUR jacket

Conductor Count: 12 conductors (3 phase + PE + 5 encoder signal + 1 shield drain)

Wire Gauge: 24 AWG (signal), 18 AWG (power)

Shielding: Overall braided shield + individual pair shielding

Shield Drain Wire: 0.5 mm² tinned copper

Voltage Rating: 300 VAC

Temperature Rating: -20°C to +80°C (continuous), +105°C (short-term)

Bend Radius (Minimum): 5 × cable diameter (75 mm for this cable)

IP Rating: IP67 (with connectors mated)

Compatible Motors: AKM Series (all frame sizes)

Compatible Drives: AKD2G Series, AKD-P Series

Encoder Protocol: Hiperface DSL, EnDat 2.2, BiSS-C

Color Code: Black jacket with gray connector boots

Certifications: CE, UL, cUL

Key Advantages:

• Pre-terminated eliminates field wiring errors
• PUR jacket resists oil, coolant, and abrasion
• Fully shielded for EMI immunity in high-noise environments

Applicable Industries:

• All AKM motor installations
• CNC machines
• Robot cells
• Cleanroom equipment (low outgassing PUR)

Installation Requirements:

• Route cable away from high-current power cables (min 100 mm separation)
• Secure cable with clamps every 500 mm
• Do not exceed minimum bend radius
• Ground shield drain at drive end only (single-point grounding)

Usage Notes:

• Do not use for non-Kollmorgen encoders — pinout is specific to AKM feedback
• Replace immediately if jacket is damaged or connectors show corrosion
