Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1585J-M8CBJM-0M15 is a Cat5e Ethernet media cable engineered for industrial PLC and motion control applications. This 0.15-meter patch cord delivers 100BASE-TX speeds at 100 Mbit/s, making it suitable for standard Ethernet communication between controllers, HMIs, remote I/O devices, and network switches. The teal PVC jacket with foil and braided shielding protects your automation network from electromagnetic noise common in manufacturing environments.
Key Features
