obsolete AllenBradley encoder cable

lesmar96 · Jun 8, 2021

I don't do much in the Allen Bradley world. I have a customer that has some old Allen Bradley hardware. The encoder cable got ruined and it seems there is no replacement available anywhere.

any suggestions? p/n is 9101-1366-010

or if I could get a pinout for this cable, we could probably make one to get that back up and running.

Much appreciated.

Based on your A-B part# 9101-1366-010 google result:
https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1398-um000_-en-p.pdf

page 227 of pdf B-15
Figure B.13 J2 to F- or H-Series Encoder Cable (P/N 9101-1366)
Shows the cable diagram pinouts.

Why not make you own cable
I would assume the connector is still usable i have made many of them over the years
Icom should have the cable ou need or there ar many other sources.
most encoder would use 10 cond 5 shielded tuisted pare it not tht diffacult
In the old days we nearly always made our own

that is what it looks like we will do. This one is a 14-conductor.

Try Radwell and save yourself the time and effort:

That's the problem with Radwell. They like their website to show that they have absolutely everything you can imagine, but in reality, they might have a contact or a good source and a price for you, but no real parts to back that up. I have used them a couple of times with good results, and have been told, "sorry, we can't actually get that for you" once.

the number of wires in the cable should no be a problem
you can always find a cable
if you have a connections diagram or at least a pinout
nobody stocks much of anything anymore
Is then connector any good or do you need to replace it

we do have a connection diagram and yes we will make our own because we can buy the connectors. I did find the OEM apparently still has them but I am waiting on confirmation.
