Allen-Bradley 1585J-M8CBJM-2 Ethernet RJ45 Patchcord

Allen-Bradley 1585J-M8CBJM-2 is a shielded, 2-meter RJ45 Ethernet patchcord (RJ45 male to RJ45 male) for Industrial Ethernet in Rockwell Automation environments. It uses Cat5e performance with 8 conductors (4 pairs) of 26 AWG copper and a teal PVC jacket, designed for reliable data transmission in control cabinets and on equipment racks. The straight RJ45 connectors at both ends support 100BASE-TX networks up to 100 Mbps, making it suitable for short-distance connections between devices such as Allen-Bradley switches, PLCs, PanelView terminals, and drives. With a 2 m length (approximately 6.56 ft), it provides routing flexibility in confined industrial spaces while maintaining signal integrity in EMI-prone environments. Typical deployments include linking a Rockwell Ethernet switch to a PLC or gateway within an automation cell, or connecting adjacent devices in an industrial Ethernet topology.
