AB 1746-C7, 1746-C9, 1746-C16 SLC 500™ Programmable Controller Rack Interconnect Cables

Potential impact of cable length on data communications: The use of non-specified cable lengths, especially excessive lengths, may affect the integrity of data communications between processors. Although the documentation does not specify the specific differences in data transfer performance between the three cables, in principle, longer cables may lead to problems such as signal attenuation and increased latency. 1746 - C16 cables are relatively long and the signals may be weakened to a certain extent during data transfer, compared to 1746 - C7, which, due to its shorter length, has a lower risk of signal attenuation and latency. In industrial control scenarios where real-time data transmission is critical, such as the automation of high-speed production lines, 1746 - C7 cables may be more suitable, while in scenarios where real-time data transmission is less critical and the connection distance is farther away, 1746 - C16 cables can function normally with acceptable signal attenuation and delay.
