Product Procurement & Buyer Guide

Procurement teams value precise compatibility in automation accessories. The 1747-FC works only with RS-232 cables. It connects to three specific SLC controllers: the 1747-L541, 1747-L542, and 1747-L543. This narrow focus ensures a perfect match for your existing hardware. Industrial buyers avoid guesswork by ordering this exact part number.

The ferrite material attenuates unwanted high-frequency noise. Plastic housing protects the core from physical damage. Compliance with the European EMC Directive proves its reliability in regulated environments. Your system gains stable performance without costly redesigns. Low installation complexity reduces downtime during deployment.

Installation Guide and Best Practices

Place the 1747-FC where the cable exits the module. This location maximizes interference reduction. Open the collar and clip it around the RS-232 cable. Ensure the cable sits snugly inside the ferrite core. Secure the plastic housing until you hear a click.

The entire process takes less than one minute. No wiring or configuration is necessary. The low complexity design suits both new builds and retrofits. Test the connection after installation to verify noise suppression.
