3.5.2. Control, I/Os and Halls Cable Assemblies
The Cymbal features easy‐to‐use D‐Sub type connections for all Control, I/Os and halls cables.
Below are instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble these cables.
• Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted‐pair shielded cables (24 AWG cable is recommended). For
best results, the shield should have aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
• Use only a D‐Sub connector with a metal housing.
• Attach the braid shield tightly to the metal housing of the D‐type connector.
• On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
• On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s recommendations
concerning the shield.

Note: All D‐Sub type connectors, used with the Cymbal, should be assembled in this way.
Metal Housing
Make sure that the braid shield is in tight
contact with the metal housing
