Allen-Bradley 1745-C1 SLC 100 Interconnect Ribbon Cable

The Allen-Bradley 1745-C1, also cataloged as the 1745-C1 Interconnect Ribbon Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for signal routing and communication linkage between SLC 100 processors and peripheral expansion modules.

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Flash Compatibility

• Backplane Bus Velocity: Delivers direct physical signal transmission between primary SLC 100 controller units and interface converters without active processing overhead or latency.
• I/O Density Scaling: Enables clean modular interconnection of processors and expansion hardware across local panel layouts.
• Firmware Flash Compatibility: Acts as a passive electrical pathway, ensuring uninterrupted data pass-through during controller configuration or programming operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What connector type is utilized on both ends of the 1745-C1 cable? A: The cable is equipped with 8-pin male proprietary connectors on both ends to ensure locked physical attachment.

Q: What is the overall physical length of the 1745-C1 interconnect cable? A: The cable has a fixed length of 6.0 feet (1.83 meters).

Q: What is the maximum operating altitude for the 1745-C1 cable? A: The 1745-C1 cable is rated for operation at altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level without ambient derating.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Align the 8-pin male proprietary connectors strictly with the corresponding keyway receptacles on the SLC 100 processor or peripheral module prior to insertion.
• Avoid applying tight bend radii or mechanical tension on the ribbon cable assembly during wire trunk routing.
• Maintain adequate physical clearance between the signal ribbon cable and heavy AC power lines or VFD output wiring to suppress electromagnetic noise coupling.
• Ensure the operating environment stays within 0 to 60 deg C and non-condensing relative humidity limits of 5% to 95%.
