Allen-Bradley 1771-CE I/O Chassis Cable 1ft

1771-CE Allen-Bradley PLC 5 Cable 9-Pin

Product Introduction

The 1771-CE from Allen-Bradley is a dedicated I/O chassis cable within the renowned PLC 5 series. This cable provides a fundamental interconnection solution for your control system. Specifically, it links the I/O chassis to the 1771-P2 power supply, ensuring smooth power distribution. Its short 1-foot (0.3-meter) length makes it exceptionally convenient for tight panel spaces. Moreover, the inclusion of both male and female plug connectors offers versatile and secure attachment points. With 9 pins, this cable supports robust signal and power transmission. This model is a genuine, direct replacement part for existing PLC 5 installations.

Technical Specifications

This cable is engineered for specific operational parameters. First, its physical length is precisely 1 foot (0.3 meters), minimizing excess cable clutter. Second, the connector design integrates 9 pins within durable male and female housings. Third, it is exclusively compatible with the 1771-P2 power supply unit. Furthermore, the cable operates effectively within a 50 to 60 Hertz frequency range. This frequency tolerance ensures compatibility with standard mains power in most regions. Additionally, each 1771-CE unit is manufactured to meet Allen-Bradley's stringent quality guidelines. Consequently, users can expect a dependable connection for their I/O modules. The part number 1771-CE is clearly marked for easy identification during maintenance.

Mechanical and Environmental Ratings

The 1771-CE is built to withstand typical industrial conditions. Its operating temperature range spans from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Similarly, it can be safely stored in environments from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. This wide storage range is vital for warehouses in varying climates. Besides that, the cable handles humidity levels from 5% to 95% without condensation. This humidity tolerance prevents internal corrosion and ensures longevity. Weighing approximately 1.06 pounds (0.48 kg), it is a lightweight component. Its low weight reduces strain on connectors and mounting points within the panel. Therefore, this cable is a robust choice for factory automation settings.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the 1771-CE cable is a straightforward process. First, always ensure the system is powered down before making any connections. Next, identify the corresponding ports on your 1771-P2 power supply and the I/O chassis. Then, align the 9-pin male plug with the female receptacle on the chassis. Conversely, the female plug connects to the mating male port on the power supply. Apply gentle pressure until the connectors snap securely into place. Avoid bending the cable sharply during installation. Meanwhile, route the cable away from high-voltage lines to prevent interference. Finally, perform a continuity check if possible to verify a secure link. Proper installation ensures the reliable performance of your PLC 5 system.
