What this cable connects and why the shielding matters
This FCE311050A200 is the encoder feedback cable for Schneider Electric's PacDrive 3 motion control system, connecting a detached servo drive to an SH series motor. The M17 connector terminates at the drive side; the M23 connector terminates at the motor. The cable is shielded (braid/foil construction) — essential for preserving encoder signal integrity in the electrically noisy environment of a drive cabinet. Without the shield, pulse edges from the variable-frequency drive couple into the feedback lines and corrupt position data. At 5 m (16.4 ft), this pre-cut length covers most cabinet-to-machine distances without excess coil that would radiate or pick up noise. The metal connector shells (M17 and M23) provide 360° shield termination and mechanical robustness for repeated mating cycles.
