Features:
- T-Type Coaxial Tap for ControlNet Industrial Network Segments
- High-Flex and Standard Cable Options for Application-Specific Installations
- Hazardous Area Fittings and Fiber Media Extension Compatibility Included
The Allen-Bradley 1786-TPS/C ControlNet Coax Tap functions as the essential connectivity point within Bulletin 1786 series networks, providing reliable coaxial signal distribution for continuous data communication across industrial control systems. The 1786-TPS/C integrates a T-type tap configuration that efficiently branches network signals through coaxial media, facilitating robust interconnection between ControlNet devices. Spanning 1 meter in length, the 1786-TPS/C optimizes physical connectivity in compact installations while preserving signal quality throughout the network segment. The 1786-TPS/C operates dependably within a temperature spectrum of -13 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit during normal use, and tolerates non-operational temperatures from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring consistent performance across varied thermal environments.
The 1786-TPS/C delivers essential network access capabilities fundamental to ControlNet segment operation, serving as a critical element of the communication infrastructure that directly influences proper system-wide data exchange. One 1786-TPS/C tap is typically required at each network access point depending on the specific ControlNet topology and device layout. The 1786-TPS/C maintains proper coaxial impedance characteristics and secure mechanical connections when installed within ControlNet segments, preserving overall network integrity and transmission reliability.
For challenging industrial environments, the 1786-TPS/C offers both high-flex and standard cable constructions, allowing selection of the appropriate 1786-TPS/C variant based on application demands and installation surroundings. Beyond standard coaxial deployment, hazardous area fittings are available for the 1786-TPS/C to accommodate the most demanding industrial locations. The 1786-TPS/C infrastructure additionally supports ControlNet fiber media extensions, enabling network segment expansion while providing immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The 1786-TPS/C sustains reliable operation under relative humidity levels from 5% to 95%, and withstands operational shock up to 30g, confirming its resilience for severe manufacturing and process automation applications.
The 1786-TPS/C Allen-Bradley ControlNet Coax Taps may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
