Before You Begin
Remove all packing material from within and around the item. After unpacking, verify the 
catalog number against the purchase order., and visually inspect the cable and each connector for 
damage. If necessary, notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately. 
Cables are stored and shipped in a coil, and will retain this shape unless you allow the cable to 
straighten itself. To straighten a cable, hang a short cable from its mid-point or lay a long cable on 
the floor in a straight line. Any coiling that persists in the cable should relax within the next 
twenty-four hours. Doing this results in a cable that is easier to install. 
Observe the following precautions when installing the cables in a servo system. Failure to observe 
these safety notices could result in personal injury or damage to the motor and equipment. 
ATTENTION: Arcing or unexpected motion can occur if the feedback, power, or 
brake cables are connected or disconnected while power is applied to the drive. 
Always remove power to the servo drive before connecting or disconnecting 
cables at the drive or at the motor. 
ATTENTION: The maximum length of cabling between the drive and the motor 
must not exceed 90 m (295.5 ft), and a maximum of two (2) extension cables 
may be connected between a drive and a motor. Refer to Kinetix Motion Control 
Selection Guide, publication 
r additional information.
ATTENTION: The examples in this publication show all the available 
connections, some of which may not be appropriate for your specific 
installation. Refer to your drive installation or user manual for recommended 
wire trim lengths, and wiring examples appropriate to your drive and motor 
application. 
Do not connect unused wires. Unused wires may be trimmed and finished as 
necessary to prevent accidental contact with other wires or wire shields, or with 
a ground connection.
