Brecknell 60064-1294 15 ft Homerun: Cable vs Cell in Cypress
A 200E that hunts, drops to dashes, or dies when you kick the homerun is usually the cable, not a new load cell. The factory 15 ft part All Scales USA stocks in Cypress is Brecknell 60064-1294 — $149. Live page: brecknell-15-cable-part-60064-1294-for-200e-indicator. Nine on the shelf. It is a converting part. This post is how we tell cable from cell before you buy a deck.
What this cable actually is
Length is 15 ft. Indicator end is a 14-pin Centronics-style plug for the 200E / 200ES load-cell port. Platform end is four bare shielded leads for the junction box. About 0.2 in OD, 24 AWG stranded, braided shield. Carton is the cable only. Maker home: Brecknell Scales. Brecknell’s own color-code bulletin is a starting point, not a guess at your box: load cell electrical connection PDF. We will not print a pinout we have not matched to your old cable on the Cypress bench.
Cable vs cell — the bench test from FM 529
Bring the old homerun to 21249 FM 529 Rd, or photograph both ends and the junction-box colors. Pete at pete@allscales.com runs this before we sell a cell.
Does the 14-pin shell crush, rust, or pull out of the 200E? That is cable. A new cell will not fix a broken latch.
Wiggle the homerun at the indicator and at the summing board. If the weight jumps, the cable is the suspect.
Open the J-box. If one cell pair is wet or green and the other three are dry, that is a cell or a board — not this 15 ft lead.
Match colors to the old cable, not to a forum post. Avery / Brecknell, Cardinal, and Rice Lake do not share one rainbow.
House kits we build in Cypress are always branded MNM Scales in full — never a bare house nickname. If your deck is an MNM Scales floor or S-type crane kit, say so. We will not assume a Brecknell 14-pin on an MNM Scales indicator. Sister catalog: MNM Scales. A different family of compression cables is written here: Amcells LPD load cell cable.
What this part will not do
It will not turn a 200E into a different brand of indicator.
It is not a 20 ft LPD homerun and it is not a 9-pin serial printer lead.
It is not a load cell. If three of four corners are dead, stop and call (832) 766-5410.
Leaf: scale cables and connectors (19 live cables). After the swap, we still want a known mass on the deck. That call is Houston calibration from Cypress and scale calibration Houston. We do not do truck or pit homeruns.
200E and 200ES — same homerun, still match the plug
The live title names both 200E and 200ES. The 14-pin load-cell port is the reason this part exists. A 9-pin serial printer cable will physically disappoint you. An SBI-505 quick-disconnect is a different family — we already have SBI-505 cable posts; this is not one of them. If the indicator in the photo is not a 200E or 200ES, stop. Send the photo.
Houston decks we see with this homerun are older Brecknell / Avery benches and floors that still have a 200E on a column. The cable gets forklift-kissed, wet at the J-box gland, or yanked by a pallet. Replacing the cell first is how shops spend $400 and keep the same dash on the display. Wiggle test first. Then colors. Then a known mass. Then, if three corners are dead, a cell.
If the kit on the floor is a house kit, it is MNM Scales — always the full name. An MNM Scales S-type crane kit uses a different homerun than this 14-pin Brecknell part. The 10k chooser is already live. The LPD compression family is already live. This $149 part is the 200E/200ES 15 ft lead only. Leaf: scale cables and connectors.
We will not lengthen this cable with a splice on a trade job and call it factory. If you need 30 ft, say so. Cypress can talk a longer run. We will not invent one in this paragraph.
FAQ
Will you tell me the pin numbers over email?
We match the cable in front of us. Send both ends. We will not invent a 14-pin map in this post.
Is 15 ft long enough?
It is the factory 15 ft homerun. If the indicator hangs 25 ft from the deck, say so before we ship. We will not splice a guess onto a legal-for-trade run.
