KUKA 00-179-960 Encoder Cable 15m RES for External Axis Servo Motor

The part 00-179-960 (also marked as 00179960) is a 15 m encoder cable used in KUKA industrial robot systems.
It is specifically designed for external axis servo motor encoder connections, providing stable encoder signal transmission for positioning and control.

This cable is compatible with KUKA KRC4 controllers and is suitable for use with RDC box cascade configurations, supporting multiple external axes.
The cable is commonly referred to as “Cable 15m RES” or “XP Control Cable – 15m” in KUKA spare parts lists.

Key features:

• Type: Encoder cable (15 m RES).

• Length: 15 m.

• Controller: KRC4 systems.

• Application: External axis servo motor encoder / RDC box

• Marking: 00-179-960 / 00179960

Use 00-179-960 as a replacement or upgrade encoder cable for KUKA robots with external axis servo configurations.

Compatible Controllers / Robots

• Primary controller: KUKA KRC4.

• Application scope: External axis servo motor encoder cable for KUKA robot systems with RDC box cascade.

• Typical setup: KUKA robot + external axis (e.g. conveyor, turntable) driven by servo motor, using 00-179-960 for encoder signal.
