The MKS Instruments / Newport MCAB-3 is a 3 meter shielded ESP stage/controller cable that establishes communication between compatible motion controllers and stages. Equipped with DB25 Male to DB25 Female connectors, this cable supports DC stepper motor driven stages and bi-polar stepper motor driven stages across Newport’s ESP-compatible product line. The cable integrates with motion control systems where plug-and-play ESP technology automatically uploads stage operating parameters to controllers upon connection.
