PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1747-C11 is an SLC 500 Interconnect Cable engineered for industrial control communications. It connects an SLC 500 processor DH-485 communication port directly to a 1747-AIC isolated link coupler. The cable measures 304.8 mm or 12 inches in length. It features factory-terminated RJ45 modular connectors on both ends. This design enables clean point-to-point wiring within the local equipment cabinet.
During standard operation, the cable carries data signals alongside 24V DC power from the processor to the coupler. This eliminates the need for a separate external power supply at the local coupler node. The cable withstands operating temperatures from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and relative humidity up to 95 percent. It provides verified continuity across harsh industrial environments.
