Allen-Bradley 1746-C7 Rack Interconnect Cable

Allen-Bradley 1746-C7 Rack Interconnect Cable is a 6-inch, fixed-length interconnect designed for the SLC-500 modular rack system. This 152.44 mm link provides a direct connection between the backplanes of adjacent 1746 racks housed in the same enclosure, enabling a continuous signal path when chassis are spaced up to 0.15 m (about 6 inches) apart. As a genuine Allen-Bradley accessory, the 1746-C7 bridges neighboring shelves in SLC-500 configurations, reducing cabling clutter and simplifying installation compared with longer, general-purpose cables. Use of the correct interconnect cable from the 1746 family helps preserve backplane integrity during expansion or restructuring of SLC-500 modular systems, ensuring compatibility with 1746-series chassis and backplane connectors. Common applications include linking two 1746 racks in a compact control panel or extending backplane connections when modular enclosures are arranged side-by-side within a single cabinet, delivering a reliable, purpose-built solution for close-stack installations.
