Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-CABLE010Z is a pre-wired digital cable designed to streamline control panel wiring in CompactLogix and ControlLogix automation systems. This 1 meter (3.28 ft) cable connects directly to 1756 series 32-point I/O modules, eliminating point-to-point terminal block wiring and reducing installation time.
Key Features
- Pre-terminated connectors on both ends—1756-TBCH connector for I/O module, IFM 40-pin connector for interface module
- 40 conductors, 22 AWG construction for robust signal integrity and noise immunity
- 1 meter (3.28 feet) length provides standard panel-to-fieldwiring distances
- Part of Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1492 I/O Wiring Systems, a proven standard for digital I/O connectivity
- Minimizes panel wiring errors and speeds installation versus manual termination
