.30 Guidelines for Making Your Own Cables
Proper wiring, grounding and shielding are essential for ensuring safe, insulated and
optimal servo performance of the Evaluation Board. If you do not plan to use cables
provided by Elmo, follow the instructions below carefully.
Follow these instructions to ensure safe and proper wiring.
 Use twisted pair shielded cables for control, feedback and communication connections.
For best results, the cable should have an aluminum foil shield covered by copper braid,
and should contain a drain wire.
The drain wire is a non-insulated wire that is in contact with parts of the cable, usually the
shield. It is used to terminate the shield and act as a grounding connection.
