PLM8 and PLM9 machine cables
| Cable name | Part number | Length |
| PLM8 | A-1016-7677 | 6 m (236.22 in) |

These two straight cables each have a 15-pin D-type plug at end 'A' and a 14-pin in-line LEMO socket at end 'B'. They reside within the CMM axis conduits and link with the probe head cables to relay the motorised probe head and controller signals.
These are also used to link with adaptor cables and relay SP80 scanning probe signals to and from Renishaw controllers or equivalent counter cards via an IU80 interpolator unit.
