7.4 Customer Interface
Cable Requirements
Customer cables that interface to Mercury II Series Encoders must have the following
characteristics:

Twisted pair signals wiring.

Characteristic impedance of 100-120 ohms.

Sufficient wire gauge to meet the minimum voltage requirement at the encoder. For
example: 24AWG gauge wire for a 2m length cable. Recommended cables are 24AWG
gauge wire with 6 twisted pairs.

Single shield cable with a minimum of 90% coverage. Note that a double shielded cable
may be required in high-noise applications.
