Measuring 3.05 m (10 ft) in length, this specialty interface cable plugs into the dedicated Network Access Port (NAP) on compatible ControlNet processors, scanners, or communication adapters to enable real-time system monitoring, parameter configuration, and diagnostic troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePhysical Wiring \u0026amp; Internal Pinout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e1786-CP\u003c\/strong\u003e features customized internal pinout wiring tailored specifically for ControlNet NAP signals rather than a standard straight-through Ethernet pin arrangement. Its 3.05 m flexible assembly allows field maintenance personnel to maintain a safe distance from active control enclosures while establishing serial data links with ControlNet devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOperational Guidelines \u0026amp; Application Limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned solely as a single point-of-entry programming access link, the cable routes control and configuration signals directly into a single NAP on a live ControlNet node. It is restricted from serving as a permanent trunk cable, interconnecting two distinct ControlNet cable segments, or linking a scanner module directly to a processor module without proper network architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1786-CP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen-Bradley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControlNet Network Access Cables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.05 m (10 ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork Access Programming \/ Diagnostic Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControlNet Network Access Port (NAP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.49 lbs (0.22 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Wiring Considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert the cable connectors firmly into the Network Access Port (NAP) of the host ControlNet device and the serial\/communication interface of your programming workstation. Do not connect a single \u003cstrong\u003e1786-CP\u003c\/strong\u003e cable to multiple network access ports simultaneously or use it to bridge separate ControlNet segments, as doing so introduces impedance mismatches and potential network communication faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can I use the 1786-CP cable to join two standard ControlNet coaxial trunk segments?A: No, the 1786-CP is specifically designed for Network Access Port (NAP) programming connections and must not be used as a structural trunkline segment or bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is the 1786-CP wired as a standard straight-through RJ-45 patch cable? A: No, the internal pinout of the 1786-CP is non-standard and wired specifically for ControlNet NAP interface signals. Substituting a standard straight-through cable will prevent communication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67049583575155,"sku":"1786-CP","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/4348\/2227\/files\/1786-CP.png?v=1793260263","url":"https:\/\/www.dcssupplier.com\/products\/controlnet-network-access-cable-allen-bradley-1786-cp","provider":"DcsSupplier Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
