Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1485P-P8R5-C2-F5 is an industrial-grade 8-outlet Micro-Plex junction box engineered for DeviceNet field-level networking. This compact enclosure consolidates multiple device connections into a single termination point, reducing wiring complexity in automated manufacturing and process control environments. The unit provides secure connector housing and electrical isolation, making it ideal for system integrators and maintenance technicians deploying distributed control architectures.
Key Features
- 8 Micro-Plex outlet connectors for DeviceNet node connections
- Compact junction box enclosure design for space-constrained installations
- DIN rail and surface-mount compatible for flexible positioning
- Sealed connector terminations to maintain network integrity
- Industrial-rated construction for harsh manufacturing environments
- Drop-in replacement for legacy Micro-Plex junction implementations
Technical Specifications
This junction box is constructed to withstand vibration, moisture, and temperature fluctuations typical in factory floors and process facilities. The Micro-Plex connector standard ensures reliable 24VDC signal transmission across all outlet pairs. Polycarbonate or thermoplastic housing protects internal circuitry, while internal PCB traces maintain impedance matching for DeviceNet compliance.
Typical Applications
- Distributed I/O node consolidation in CompactLogix and MicroLogix networks
- Multi-device connection hubs for remote automation stations
- Factory floor gateway enclosures for discrete manufacturing
- Process control system field termination boxes
- Legacy system retrofit and network expansion projects
