Product Introduction
The Allen Bradley 1786-TPS ControlNet Coaxial Tap Cable is a network connection component designed for ControlNet industrial communication systems. It is used to connect ControlNet devices to the main coaxial trunk cable through a T-Tap connection, allowing controllers, communication modules, and network adapters to access the ControlNet network reliably.
This tap cable includes BNC connectors and is commonly used with ControlNet coaxial trunk systems where devices must connect to the network without interrupting the main communication line. The 1786-TPS ensures stable signal transmission between network nodes and supports efficient network installation within industrial automation environments.
With a 1-meter cable length, the module provides convenient connection between the ControlNet tap and the connected device. Designed for industrial control systems, it operates across a wide temperature range and features an IP20 enclosure rating, making it suitable for installation inside control cabinets and protected automation environments.
