CAUTION: Do not cable ties or zip ties to bundle cables or restrain the cable to the
robotarm.Directlyafxingcabletiesorziptiestothecablejacketwillpreventpower
and signal communication between the F/T sensor and robot controller. Use hook
and loop or Velcro straps on the cable jacket surfaces. Examples of the incorrect and
correct methods to restrain or bundle cables are in the following pictures:
USE Velcro

straps to restrain
the cable around the robot arm.
DO NOT USE zip ties to restrain
the cable around the robot arm.

DO NOT USE zip ties
to bundle cables.
CAUTION: Do not damage or crush the cable by over tightening the
straps on the cable.
CAUTION: When routing the cables, do not bend less than the minimum bending
radiusspeciedinTable 3.1. A bend radius too small causes the cable to fail from
fatigue of the robot’s repetitive motion.

The 6-pin 9105-C-ZC22-ZC28-X cable attaches to the sensor’s connector. The 9105-C-ZC28-U-RJ45S-X
8-pin connector attaches to the 9105-C-ZC22-ZC28-X power and Ethernet cable. The 9105-C-ZC28-
U-RJ45S-X cable splits into the following (2) branches: an unterminated end for power and a RJ45
connection for Ethernet.
