Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1485C-P8N5-M5 is a DeviceNet physical media cordset designed for mission-critical factory automation and discrete manufacturing environments. This 8-meter trunk cable connects DeviceNet devices with reliable passive communication over thick media, supporting standard 5-pin Mini connectors. Built for demanding industrial applications, the 1485C-P8N5-M5 delivers the connectivity needed for synchronized motion control, I/O networks, and distributed intelligence across production floors.
Key Features
- 8-Meter Trunk Connection: Extended reach for network segment extensions and device spacing flexibility
- Mini Straight Connectors: Trunk end features Mini Straight Female; device end Mini Straight Male for secure, sealed connections
- Thick Media Construction: Grey PVC jacket and standard epoxy-coated zinc connectors resist industrial wear, moisture, and temperature fluctuations
- Standard 5-Pin Configuration: Passive DeviceNet protocol support ensures compatibility across Rockwell Automation and third-party DeviceNet devices
- Drop-In Replacement: Direct compatibility with existing DeviceNet networks requiring extended trunk segments
