Power cable, 8 meter
Power cable, 8 meter, for connecting a closed-loop stepper drive's output to the motor.
Overview
The PC1-080 is a 8 meter power cable, carrying motor phase current from a closed-loop stepper drive's output to the motor windings.
This is the power connection, separate from the encoder feedback connection the EC1-030/EC1-080 cables provide - a closed-loop system such as the SDW60 or SDW86 drive needs both cables, one for driving the motor and one for reading its encoder back, and neither substitutes for the other. This cable is sold separately from both the drive and the motor, so it needs ordering alongside them rather than assumed included.
7 meters suits a drive mounted well away from the motor, such as in a separate control cabinet; for a shorter run, the PC1-030 covers 3 meters instead. Keep this cable's routing away from low-level signal wiring such as the encoder cable where practical, since it carries the motor's full phase current and can induce noise into a nearby signal line over a run this long.

Questions
Will this reach a drive mounted in a separate control cabinet, away from the motor?
Yes — that's specifically what this length suits.
Does routing matter more at this length than on the shorter cable?
Yes — keep it away from low-level signal wiring such as the encoder cable where practical, since it carries the motor's full phase current and can induce noise into a nearby signal line, more so over a run this long.
8 meters is more than I need — is there a shorter option?
Yes — the PC1-030 covers 3 meters instead.
