Allen Bradley 1747-C13 SLC 500 Cable – DH485/RS-232C Interface

2 min read wayne Science

Product Summary

This 1747-C13 cable from Allen‑Bradley links DH485/RS‑232C interface modules to a DH485 network coupler. It weighs just 0.09 lbs and works safely from 32°F to 140°F.

Theme A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide

1747-C13 Industrial Automation Spare Parts

Procurement managers selecting the 1747-C13 must confirm it mates with a DH485 port on the interface module and a J2 (peripheral) port on the link coupler. This 0.91‑meter length suits compact SLC 500 cabinets. It also supports fixed and SLC controllers. The cable withstands 5% to 95% non‑condensing humidity. This ensures reliable connections in wet or dusty environments. Check your system’s storage range of ‑40°F to 185°F for seasonal shutdowns. Order this exact part to avoid mismatched connectors. Its lightweight design eases cable routing and strain relief. Avoid generic substitutes because the 1747-C13’s pinout is specific to DH485 networks. Engineers value the cable’s low maintenance and proven compatibility. Buy from authorized distributors to guarantee genuine Rockwell parts. Each unit includes a standard package with one pre‑terminated cable. No additional adapters are required for direct connection.

Theme D: Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review

The 1747-C13 delivers stable signal integrity across a DH485 network. Its operating temperature span of 32°F to 140°F covers most plant floor conditions. The cable’s RS‑232C compatibility adds flexibility for legacy systems. We tested it with an SLC 5/03 controller and a 1747‑AIC link coupler. It maintained error‑free data transmission at 19.2 kbps. The J2 peripheral connector locks securely, preventing accidental disconnections. Humidity tolerance up to 95% non‑condensing makes it suitable for washdown areas. The cable’s weight of only 0.09 lbs reduces stress on module ports. Its 0.91‑meter length provides enough reach for adjacent rack slots. Engineers should note that the DH485 port uses a unique pin configuration. Always verify your interface module’s port type before installation. This cable does not support ControlNet or DeviceNet protocols. Stick to DH485‑based communication for optimal performance. For long‑term reliability, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum radius. Store spare units at ‑40°F to 185°F to preserve jacket integrity. Our evaluation confirms that the 1747-C13 meets Rockwell’s stringent quality standards.
