PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
Revision scope: These specifications describe 1746-C7/A (Series A). Check the corresponding technical data before specifying another hardware series.
The Allen-Bradley 1746-C7 is an SLC 500 Rack Interconnect Cable designed for modular controller chassis communication. This cable links two multi-slot chassis together in an expanded hardware configuration. It establishes backplane communication between adjacent chassis units. The assembly features a fixed length of 152.44 mm (6 inches) for close chassis placement.
Keyed ends enforce correct orientation during insertion into dedicated chassis expansion connectors. The secure fit maintains proper signal integrity across the backplane bus interface. Control engineers use this cable to expand SLC 500 I/O capacity across adjacent modular racks. Proper connection ensures mechanical retention and direct data continuity between both connected chassis.
