Maximum Cable Length
Drive-to-motor power and feedback cables must not exceed:
• 50 m (164 ft) for axes with Kinetix MPx servo motors and Hiperface
encoder feedback
• 50 m (164 ft) for axes with Kinetix TLP servo motors and 24-bit high-
resolution serial encoder feedback
• 30 m (98.4 ft) for axes with Kinetix MPx (catalog number
MPL-Axxxx-H) servo motors and incremental encoder feedback
Cable Preparation for Kinetix TLP Servo Motors
Because the 2090-CTxx-MxDx motor cables are designed specifically for
Kinetix TLP motors, there is no preparation required.
• 2090-CTPW-MxDF flying lead power cables are equipped with ring lugs
where required, so no cable preparation is needed.
• 2090-CTFB-MxDD feedback cables are equipped with premolded
connectors on the drive end, so no cable preparation is needed.
If you are building your own cables, see Build Your Own Kinetix TLP Motor
Cables Installation Instructions, publication 2090-IN048
, to attach motor-side
power and feedback connector kits to bulk cable. Also, see Kinetix 5100
Feedback Connector Kit Installation Instructions, publication 2198-IN019
, to
terminate the flying lead feedback cable connections.
Cable Preparation for Kinetix MPx Servo Motors
Motor power and brake conductors on 2090-CPBM7DF (series A) cables have
the following dimensions from the factory. If your cable is reused from an existing
application, the actual conductor lengths could be slightly different.

AWG standard, non-flex cables provide (drive end) shield braid and conductor
preparation designed for compatibility with multiple Kinetix servo-drive
families, including Kinetix 5100 drives.
