e-Series Cable Options

Overview of cable options for e-Series robots

Last modified on May 05, 2025

Date Created: September 7th, 2020

From September 2020, it is possible to select between 4 different cable types for e-Series robot systems. 

Prerequisites: 

It is required that the e-Series robot has a Base Flange Connector, i.e. a pigtail cable with a connector close to the Base Flange of the robot. This is found on new e-Series systems, with part numbers 1103xx (eg. 110305 for UR5e w. Base Flange Connector).

Systems without the Base Flange Connector can be upgraded through UR Service, please consult your local partner.

Cable Options:

Universal Robots offers 4 different cable options, respectively conventional standard cables and drag-chain suitable high flex cables.
In 6 or 12 meters of length respectively. Please find details below:

Diameter (d) 12.1 mm (0.48 in) 12.1 mm (0.48 in) 13.4 mm (0.53 in) 13.4 mm (0.53 in)
Bend Radius - - 4 x d (static)
8 x d (dynamic)
4 x d (static)
8 x d (dynamic)
Bend Cycle - - 5 million 5 million

Please note that all e-Series systems with Base Flange Connector will be delivered with the 6 meter standard cable (P/N 165100) included. All other cables must be ordered separately.

Standard cable option has no official bend cycle or dynamic bend radius. Standard cable options static minimum bend radius with no failure of signal quality is: 78.0mm

High flex cables are drag chain suitable, and allows expansion of the robot workspace using 7th axis solutions or similar. 
The bend radius and bend cycle life must be respected for proper system function. When bend life is reached, cable must be replaced.
If used with smaller bend radius, the bend cycle life is reduced.

The maximum robot connection from the robot arm to the Control Box is 12 meters.
Do not extend a 6 meter cable due to signal loss in having three connectors. However, if the 6 meter cable is mounted on the base plate, an extra 6 meter standard or High flex cable may be added.
