Hello, I am new to the UR5 based on the UR5/CB3 manual it says the tool connector uses a lumberg rkmv 8-354. I was wondering would any 8 female connectors would work or must it be the exact cable stated? Thank you.

I replaced one with an off the shelf Phoenix contact cable from RC.

so I would imagine any 8 pin female connector would work.
worked perfectly with my On Robot 3FG.
