Digital Cables

Rockwell Automation offers three kinds of digital cables:

Pre-Wired:
Bulletin 1492 Pre-wired cables are designed to minimize control wiring in a panel. Pre-wired cables, when used with an IFM, replace the point-to-point wiring between Allen-Bradley programmable controller I/O modules and inidividual terminal blocks. The pre-wired cables have a removable terminal block or wiring arm at the PLC end of the cable and a cable connector on the other end to connect to the IFM. All of the pre-wired cables use a #22 AWG wire and are 100% tested for continuity to make a perfect connection every time. The digital pre-wired cables are offered in four standard lengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 m to fit a variety of applications.

 
     

I/O Ready:
I/O-Ready cables have an I/O Removable Terminal Block or Wiring Arm factory-wired to one end of the cable and free connectors on the other end for wiring into standard terminal blocks or other type of connectors. I/O-Ready Cable have individual color-coded conductors for quick wire-to-terminal coordination. The I/O-Ready cables use #18 AWG conductors for higher current applications or longer cable runs. The I/O-Ready cables are offered in standard lengths of 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 m to fit a variety of applications.

IFM-Ready:
IFM-Ready Cables have a cable connector that attached to the IFM factory-wired to one end and free connectors ready to wire to I/O modules or others components on the other end. IFM-Ready Cables use #22 AWG wire and have individual color-coded conductors for quick wire-to-terminal coordination. The digital IFM-Ready Cables are offered in standard lengths of 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 m to fit a variety of applications. Other cable lengths are also available as build-to-order products.
