Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1485R-P3N5-M5 is a thin media DeviceNet patchcord engineered for industrial control systems requiring point-to-point device connectivity. This 3-meter cable features standard 5-pin mini straight connectors (female on one end, male on the other) and is manufactured to RS 485 specifications for robust noise immunity in factory environments. Supplied new in box, the 1485R-P3N5-M5 integrates seamlessly into existing DeviceNet networks for immediate deployment.
