Allen-Bradley 1747-C13 DH485 Cable for 1747-UIC Converter

Allen-Bradley 1747-C13 is a DH-485 RJ45 patch cable that links a 1747-UIC USB-to-DH-485 converter to a DH-485 device on an Allen-Bradley SLC/MicroLogix network. This 0.9 m (approximately 3 ft) cable uses RJ45 connectors on both ends to carry DH-485 data signals, providing a direct, fixed-length interconnect for PLC communication. The 1747-C13 is designed for use with SLC 5/02, 5/03, 5/04 controllers and MicroLogix devices that expose a DH-485 port, and it is the standard interconnect recommended when pairing the 1747-UIC with a DH-485 network. It functions as a dedicated DH-485 link cable, enabling tasks such as uploading and monitoring PLC programs from a laptop or PC equipped with the 1747-UIC, without requiring additional adapters. As part of the 1747-C13 family, this cable is intended specifically for DH-485 communication and is not a general DF1 or RS-232 serial lead; its purpose is to maintain proper timing and data signaling for DH-485 token-passing in industrial environments. When selecting this cable, ensure your setup includes a DH-485 network and that the remote device supports the DH-485 protocol through an RJ45 port connected to the 1747-UIC, delivering a straightforward connection path between computer tools and the SLC/MicroLogix control hardware.
