Product Details
Product Overview
The Allen Bradley 1761-CBL-AM00 serves as a specialized RS-232 serial interconnect designed for the MicroLogix controller ecosystem. This 0.5-meter (18-inch) cable facilitates high-speed data exchange between a MicroLogix processor and an 1761-NET-AIC (AIC+) Advanced Interface Converter. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring low-impedance signal transmission for mission-critical programming, online monitoring, and peer-to-peer messaging in DF1 Full-Duplex environments.

Engineering Advantages
-
Shielded Signal Protection: The cable utilizes high-density shielding to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby high-voltage motor leads and VFDs. This protection ensures error-free data packets during sensitive PLC programming and online monitoring sessions.
-
Precision 8-Pin Mini-DIN Coupling: Specifically engineered 8-pin connectors provide a secure, vibration-resistant fit into the MicroLogix and AIC+ communication ports. This mechanical stability prevents accidental data dropouts caused by cabinet vibrations or cable movement.
-
Optimized Short-Link Design: The 0.5-meter length eliminates excessive cable slack within control enclosures. This "short-run" design reduces signal attenuation and simplifies cable management in high-density DIN-rail layouts.
-
Multi-Controller Versatility: The cable interfaces seamlessly across the MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and 1500 platforms. This allows maintenance teams to standardize their communication hardware across multiple machine generations.
-
DF1 Protocol Efficiency: By supporting the DF1 Full-Duplex protocol, the 1761-CBL-AM00 enables simultaneous two-way communication. This increases the responsiveness of HMI updates and accelerates the upload/download speeds of ladder logic projects.
FAQs
-
Can I use the 1761-CBL-AM00 to connect a MicroLogix directly to a PC?
No. This cable features 8-pin mini-DIN connectors on both ends. To connect a MicroLogix to a standard PC DB9 serial port, you must use the 1761-CBL-PM02 cable. The 1761-CBL-AM00 specifically links the controller to an AIC+ module.
-
Does this cable provide power to the AIC+ module?
Yes. When connected to a MicroLogix controller that provides power on its communication port, the 1761-CBL-AM00 carries the necessary 24V DC to power the 1761-NET-AIC module, eliminating the need for an external power supply in many configurations.
-
Is this a genuine Allen Bradley factory-sealed product?
Absolutely. We guarantee this 1761-CBL-AM00 is 100% Brand New original hardware. It arrives in the original manufacturer’s packaging with all verifiable part numbers and security seals intact.
-
What is the difference between this and the 1761-CBL-HM02?
The 1761-CBL-AM00 is a short (0.5m) cable primarily used for side-by-side mounting of an AIC+ and a PLC. The HM02 is a longer (2m) version of the same cable used for more distant chassis connections.
