Rows with an N/M badge are recorded on N of the M models; the remaining models do not publish that property.

Shielding at the pair level

The signal pairs are individually braided and carry an overall shield on top. On an encoder line sharing a drag chain with the motor cable, that shield arrangement is what limits noise coupling.

Separate builds for BiSS and incremental

5x2 and 8x2 conductor builds match what absolute (BiSS) and incremental encoders actually need, and the flange group (SM06-SM08 / SM10-SM13) is stated in the cable name.
