4.6.18 Self-assembled encoder cables
If self-assembled encoder cables are used, make sure to dimension the connector and
the route the cable in a way that the safety cover of the application inverter can be
closed.
The maximum permitted width of the connector is 16mm.
The maximum permitted height of the connector up to the highest point of the cable
routing is 46mm.

Minimum requirements for encoder cables
Make sure that self-assembled cables fulfilled the following requirements:
• Cross section of voltage supply cable:
– At least 0.25mm
2
for cable lengths up to 50m.
– At least 0.5mm
2
for cable lengths up to 100m.
• Cross section of the signal wire:
– At least 0.25mm
2
.
• Capacitance per unit length:
– Maximum 70 pF/m - core/core.
– Maximum 120 pF/m - core/shield.
• The cable must be shielded.
• Differential signals must be routed via twisted wires e.g. Data+ and Data-.
