Features
- Cables with Male 6-Pin Hirose Connectors:
- 3.0 m (9.84') Long Male-to-Male Cable
- 1.8 m (5.90') Cable with Breakout Box for Custom Applications
- Compatible with Several Thorlabs Products:
Thorlabs' HR10CAB1 and HR10AD1 cables feature 6-pin Hirose connectors. The HR10CAB1 cable is 3.0 m (9.84') long and features two male connectors, while the HR10AD1 cable is 1.8 m (5.90') long and features one Hirose connector and one breakout box for connecting loose wires without the need for soldering.
These cables are compatible with our TC300B Heater and TEC Temperature Controller, NLCH1(/M) and NLCH2(/M) Nonlinear Crystal Ovens, and previous generation TC300 Heater Temperature Controller. The breakout box can be used to easily connect a custom combination of resistive heaters and thermistors to one of the temperature controllers. The HR10CAB1 cable can be used to connect an SH05R(/M) or SH1(/M) beam shutter to an SC30 shutter controller or KSC101 K-Cube® solenoid controller, while the HR10AD1 breakout box can be used to connect custom driving electronics to the shutters.
If a custom soldered connection is required, these Hirose connector cables can also be cut to any length, leaving one connectorized end and one bare end. Figure 1.1 shows the relationship between the six colored wires and the pins in the connector, allowing the cut cable to be incorporated into a variety of custom applications where the breakout box is unsuitable. Note that the wires in these cables cross over the length of the cable, so the insulation color should be used for pin identification.

(posted 2022-03-05 11:07:26.1) I would also be interested in a female-male extension cable. Could you please send ma quote. ksosnowski
(posted 2022-03-07 05:48:14.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I will reach out to you directly about this custom cable. user
(posted 2022-02-01 18:04:01.317) The manual for SH1 used with this cable calls out pin1 and pin 6 as solenoid. Usually solenoids are not polarity dependent but is there a polarity preference if I want to cut and terminate one end of the cable? I want to avoid damaging the supporting monitor electronics in the shutter. cdolbashian
(posted 2022-02-10 12:20:53.0) Thank you for reaching out to us at Thorlabs. I think there may be some misunderstanding with these pin assignments. On the pin diagram tab for this device (SH1, using the HR10-7R-6S Hirose cable), we reference Pin 2 as the +V of the solenoid, while Pin 3 is the Solenoid Ground. I have contacted you directly to clarify this. John Conick
(posted 2021-01-20 12:22:31.667) Would be nice to have the option to have 90 Bend on one connector or just an adapter for 90 degrees YLohia
(posted 2021-01-20 02:38:20.0) Hello, thank you for your feedback. We will consider adding such an option in the future. joe_bell
(posted 2017-02-06 08:30:46.527) The TC200CAB10 is a 6-pin Male-Male Hirose connector cable, 10' long. Do you guys have access to a longer cable (20 feet), or a female-male cable I could use as an extender?
Thanks,
Joe tfrisch

(posted 2014-02-24 16:02:37.49) TC200CAB10 is 6-Pin, Male-Male Hirose Connector Cable, 10' Long
I would like to purchase a 6-Pin, Female-Female Hirose Connector Cable, 10' Long. Where an I find it? thanks. jlow
(posted 2014-02-25 04:34:44.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: I will contact with about getting the female Hirose cable. |

Figure G2.1 The ports of the HR10AD1 breakout box are labeled with pin numbers. Blank labels are also provided for custom pin assignments.
- 1.8 m (5.90') Long Cable With:
- 6-Pin Male Hirose Connector on One End
- Breakout Box on the Other End
- Allows For Easy Custom Connections to Several of Thorlabs' Products
The HR10AD1 Cable with Breakout Box allows six bare wires to be connected to a six-pin Hirose connector without the need for soldering. To aid in pinout identification, each port is labeled with the pin number corresponding to the male Hirose connector, as shown in Figure G2.1.
In addition, blank labels are provided next to each pin number for custom pin assignment information to be added. A graphite pencil is recommended for filling in the blank labels, as the markings can be removed using a standard rubber eraser if the pin assignments are changed.
