Siemens 6FX8002-2CA88-1AB5 Power Cable Assembly

Siemens 6FX8002-2CA88-1AB5 is a pre-assembled signal cable extension for incremental encoders, designed for SIN/COS 1 VPP signaling and intended for use with SME20 servo systems in Siemens MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS setups. The cable ships as a compact, 0.5-meter lead (AB5 variant) with M23 connectors on both ends and full-thread coupling, enabling secure, EMI-resistant connections in industrial environments. It carries a single-encoder extension that omits C and D track, suitable for high-precision encoder feedback in motion control applications. The assembly supports DESINA-compliant deployment and UL/CSA-certified safety expectations, and specifies a maximum connector diameter (Dmax) of 9.2 mm for shaft- or coupling-interfacing constraints in compatible equipment. This part is used to extend encoder signals between controllers and actuators, enabling flexible layout of SME20-based motion systems without compromising signal integrity at 1 Vpp. Typical applications include CNC machines, packaging lines, and automated assembly systems that rely on accurate incremental encoder feedback for precise speed and position control. The 6FX8002-2CA88 family covers several length variants; AB5 denotes the 0.5 m version, making it suitable for short, clean cable runs in compact installations.
