Allen Bradley 1786-RG6 Controlnet RG6 Shield 1000FT Cable

The AB 1786-RG6 is a high-performance RG-6 coaxial cable designed specifically for ControlNet communication networks. Featuring a quad-shielded construction, this 1000-foot spool ensures optimal signal integrity and noise immunity in demanding industrial environments where high-speed deterministic control is critical.

Manufactured with a durable PVC outer jacket, this cable maintains a consistent 75 Ohm impedance and is ideal for long-distance ControlNet trunk and drop cable installations. Suitable for use in both fixed and semi-flexible applications, it supports reliable real-time data exchange between Rockwell Automation components in distributed control systems.
