• Voltage Rating: 300V AC/DC maximum
• Compliance: UL Listed, CE marked, RoHS compliant

Application Scenarios

The 1492-CABLE010X excels in industrial automation environments where rapid deployment and wiring accuracy are critical:

• Manufacturing Control Panels: Connect digital input/output modules to sensors, pushbuttons, and indicator lights with pre-verified wiring that reduces commissioning errors by up to 40%
• Machine Retrofits: Accelerate modernization projects by replacing aging hardwired connections with standardized pre-wired assemblies that cut installation time in half
• Modular Production Lines: Enable quick reconfiguration of flexible manufacturing cells where I/O points frequently change based on product variations
• Remote I/O Installations: Simplify distributed control architectures in facilities with multiple control zones, ensuring consistent wiring practices across all locations
• OEM Equipment Integration: Machine builders can standardize on factory-tested cables to improve quality control and reduce field service callbacks

Solution Advantages

Choosing the Allen-Bradley 1492-CABLE010X delivers tangible operational benefits:

• Installation Time Savings: Pre-terminated connections eliminate 30-45 minutes of manual wiring per cable, allowing technicians to complete projects faster and move to higher-value tasks
• Wiring Error Prevention: Factory testing verifies pin-to-pin continuity before shipment, virtually eliminating miswiring that causes startup delays and troubleshooting headaches
• Consistent Documentation: Standardized cable assemblies simplify as-built drawings and maintenance documentation, making future modifications more predictable
• Reduced Inventory Complexity: Stock pre-made cables in common lengths instead of managing bulk wire, terminals, and crimping tools across multiple maintenance locations
• Enhanced System Reliability: Industrial-grade materials and controlled manufacturing processes deliver superior mechanical durability compared to field-assembled alternatives

Common Questions & Answers

Q: Can I use this cable with 32-point I/O modules?
A: The 1492-CABLE010X is specifically designed for 16-point modules with 20-pin connectors. For 32-point modules requiring 40-pin connections, consider the 1492-CABLE020 series with appropriate pin configurations.

Q: What's the difference between the "X" suffix and standard 1492-CABLE models?
A: The "X" designation indicates this cable features stripped and tinned wire ends rather than a second connector, providing flexibility for termination to terminal blocks, field devices, or custom junction boxes.

Q: Are these cables suitable for outdoor or harsh environment installations?
A: While the cable jacket provides good chemical and abrasion resistance, it's designed for indoor industrial use. For outdoor or extreme environments, install cables within protective conduit or consider ruggedized cable variants with enhanced UV and moisture protection.

Q: Can I order custom lengths for specific applications?
A: Allen-Bradley offers the 1492-CABLE series in multiple standard lengths from 0.5m to 10m. For non-standard requirements, contact our technical sales team to discuss custom cable assembly options with minimum order quantities.

Q: What warranty coverage is included with this cable?
A: Every 1492-CABLE010X includes a comprehensive 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal industrial operating conditions.
