Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1485RS-P3N5-M5 is a DeviceNet physical media cable engineered for industrial automation networks. This 5-meter cable features mini 5-pin straight connectors on both ends and incorporates stainless steel hardware (RS designation) for superior corrosion resistance in demanding factory environments. The yellow CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) outer jacket provides durability and flexibility, making it ideal for plant floor installations where movement and environmental stress are common.
Key Features
- 5-Meter Length: Spans typical device-to-trunk distances in moderate to large automation layouts.
- Mini Straight Connectors: Male-to-female configuration supports standard DeviceNet node connections.
- Stainless Steel Hardware: Resists corrosion in wet or chemical environments; extends service life.
- Thin Media Construction: Compliant with DeviceNet standard for reduced bend-radius applications.
- Yellow CPE Jacket: Provides mechanical protection and easy visual identification on the factory floor.
- Standard Passive Cable: No active components; plug-and-play installation with compatible DeviceNet networks.
