Industrial Robot Interconnect Solution – ABB 3HAC3356-14 / 3HAC3355-1 | IRC5 Drive Cable Series
Where This Product Is Used
The ABB 3HAC3356-14 (paired with 3HAC3355-1) is a factory-configured 22-metre custom cable assembly that simultaneously carries drive power and encoder/signal data between the IRC5 controller cabinet and the robot manipulator arm. It is specified on the following platforms:
- ABB IRB 1600 / 2400 / 4400 / 6400 / 6600 / 6640 – standard floor-mount and shelf-mount configurations
- ABB IRB 7600 / 6650S – heavy-payload press-tending and foundry cells
- Automotive body-in-white lines – spot welding, seam sealing, and material handling
- Palletising & depalletising systems – high-cycle logistics automation
- Paint booth & clean-room environments – where cable routing length exceeds standard 7 m or 15 m options
- Machine-tending cells – CNC loading/unloading with extended reach requirements
The 22 m length is the longest standard factory option, eliminating field splices and the associated signal-integrity risks in safety-critical motion control loops.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- OEM-matched impedance – signal pairs are tuned to ABB’s IRC5 drive amplifier input specifications, preventing resolver/encoder errors at high cycle rates.
- Single-run installation – one composite cable replaces two separate runs, reducing cable-tray congestion and installation labour by up to 40%.
- 22 m reach – covers controller-to-robot distances that the standard 7 m and 15 m variants cannot, without field extension kits that void warranty.
- PUR jacket durability – rated for continuous flexing in cable tracks (e-chains), resists hydraulic oil, coolant, and weld spatter common in automotive cells.
- Plug-and-play replacement – keyed OEM connectors eliminate mis-wiring risk during planned maintenance shutdowns.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can I use 3HAC3356-14 on an IRB 6700 series robot?
A: The IRB 6700 uses a different connector family (IRC5 Compact / OmniCore). Please contact us with your robot serial number for a confirmed cross-reference before ordering.
Q: Is the 22 m cable compatible with the IRC5 Panel Mounted Controller (PMC)?
A: Yes. The PMC uses the same drive amplifier interface as the standard IRC5 cabinet; cable length compatibility is confirmed.
Q: What is the minimum bend radius for cable-track (e-chain) installation?
A: ABB specifies a minimum dynamic bend radius of 7.5× the cable outer diameter. Consult the cable routing manual 3HAC16831-1 for your specific robot model.
Q: Can this cable be field-shortened?
A: Field termination is not recommended as it voids the OEM warranty and may introduce impedance mismatches. Order the correct length for your installation.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Konmask provides a 90-day DOA (Dead on Arrival) warranty. OEM warranty terms apply for new factory-sealed units.
