Allen-Bradley 1492-CM1771-LD006 Swing-Arm Conversion Module
Product Dimensions:
The Allen-Bradley 1492-CM1771-LD006 is a specialized Wiring System Pre-Wired Cable designed for the PLC-5 platform. It is part of the Bulletin 1492 Digital Wiring System, which aims to simplify the connection between I/O modules and terminal blocks.
Product Detailed Description
The 1492-CM1771-LD006 is a pre-manufactured cable assembly that features a 1771-WG wiring arm on one end and a D-shell connector on the other. This specific cable is designed to interface PLC-5 1771 Digital I/O modules with 1492 Wiring System interface modules (IFMs).
The cable drastically reduces the time required to wire a control cabinet by replacing individual point-to-point wires with a single, pluggable loom.

Product Advantages
- Error Reduction: Pre-wired and factory-tested cables eliminate the risk of “crossed wires” or loose connections commonly found in manual point-to-point wiring.
- Rapid Installation: Using a pre-wired arm allows for “plug-and-play” connectivity, which can reduce labor costs by up to 75% during assembly.
- Neat Cabinet Aesthetics: Replaces a bundle of 16-20 individual wires with a single, sleek cable, improving airflow and accessibility within the enclosure.
- Maintenance Friendly: If an I/O module needs replacement, the wiring arm can be swapped quickly without needing to re-identify and land every individual wire.
Important Considerations (Precautions)
- Compatibility: This cable is strictly for PLC-5 1771 Digital modules. Ensure that your specific 1771 module is compatible with the “LD” (Low Density) cable series.
- Bend Radius: Avoid sharp bends in the cable near the connectors, as this can fatigue the 22 AWG conductors and lead to intermittent signals over time.
- Cable Length: The “006” suffix denotes a 0.5-meter length. Ensure the distance between your PLC rack and the Interface Module (IFM) is within this range to avoid tension on the connectors.
- Voltage Alignment: Ensure the voltage of the I/O signals (e.g., 24V DC or 120V AC) matches the rating of both the cable and the connected Interface Module.
Product Applications
- Retrofitting Systems: Ideal for upgrading old PLC-5 systems where panel space is limited and quick changeover is required.
- Standardized Control Panels: Used by OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) who build multiple identical panels and require consistent, high-speed wiring.
- High-Vibration Environments: The factory-molded connectors provide a more secure connection than manual screw terminals in environments prone to mechanical vibration.
- Distributed I/O: Connecting central PLC-5 processors to remote 1771 I/O chassis located in different sections of a control cabinet.
