Starrett 64059 Dro Cable 6 Inches

Product Description

The STARRETT 64059 is a shielded DRO (Digital Readout) cable used to connect digital readout systems in precision measurement and machining environments. Measuring 6 inches in overall length, this cable is designed for use with part number PT22938. The shielded construction helps reduce signal interference, supporting accurate data transmission between the readout unit and its associated encoder or scale. Machinists, tool and die workers, and metrology technicians working with digital positioning systems are the typical installers of this component.

This cable is suited for machine shop and industrial environments where DRO systems are mounted to milling machines, lathes, surface grinders, or similar precision equipment. The short 6-inch length makes it appropriate for tight routing applications near the readout head or sensor connection point. Its shielded design is particularly relevant in environments with electrical noise from motors or other shop equipment that could otherwise introduce signal error.

Key Features

• Shielded cable construction reduces electromagnetic interference for accurate signal transmission
• 6-inch overall length for compact, close-proximity DRO connections
• Designed for use with PT22938 DRO components
• Single-unit packaging suitable for direct replacement or service use

Compatibility

Designed for use with STARRETT part number PT22938. Verify connector type and pin configuration against the specific DRO system before installation.

Installation Notes

This cable should be installed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with DRO system wiring. Power down the DRO unit and any associated machine controls before disconnecting or connecting cables. Avoid sharp bends or pinch points in the cable routing that could damage the shielding layer. Ensure connectors are fully seated and secured before restoring power to the system.
