The Allen Bradley 1747-C10 SLC 500 Programming/Communication Cable is a replacement processor-to-peripheral cable used in Allen Bradley SLC 500 automation systems. It provides the physical connection required for supported programming and communication accessories.
With a standard length of 6 feet (1.8 meters), the 1747-C10 is suitable for connecting compatible peripheral equipment such as the 1747-PIC interface converter, 1747-PT1 hand-held terminal, and 1747-DTAM-E Data Table Access Module to an SLC 500 controller.
This cable is particularly relevant to maintenance environments where technicians need to access controller programs, monitor data, or troubleshoot existing automation equipment. Selecting the correct cable is important because different SLC 500 communication arrangements use different cable catalog numbers.
The 1747-C10 should not be confused with the 1747-C11 processor-to-isolated-link-coupler cable or the 1747-CP3 RS-232 programming cable. Each serves a different connection purpose.

Technical FAQs
Q1: What is the primary function of the 1747-C10 cable?
A: It connects an SLC 500 processor to compatible peripheral programming and communication equipment.
Q2: What is the cable length?
A: The standard cable length is 6 feet, approximately 1.8 meters.
Q3: Which devices can use the 1747-C10?
A: Supported applications include connections to the 1747-PIC Personal Computer Interface Converter, 1747-PT1 Hand-Held Terminal, and 1747-DTAM-E Data Table Access Module.
Q4: Can the 1747-C10 connect a computer directly to an SLC 500 processor?
A: It is generally used as the processor-to-peripheral cable in a compatible programming interface arrangement. A suitable interface converter and programming connection may also be required.
Q5: Is the 1747-C10 suitable for every SLC 500 processor communication port?
A: No. Its application depends on the processor and peripheral connection arrangement. For example, SLC 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 processors also support RS-232 programming connections using the appropriate cable, such as the 1747-CP3.
Q6: What is the difference between the 1747-C10 and 1747-C20?
A: Both are processor-to-peripheral programming/communication cables. The 1747-C10 is approximately 6 feet long, while the 1747-C20 is approximately 20 feet long.
Q7: Is the 1747-C10 the same as the 1747-C11?
A: No. The 1747-C11 is a shorter 12-inch cable used to connect an SLC 500 processor to an isolated link coupler. The 1747-C10 is a 6-foot processor-to-peripheral cable.
Q8: Can a damaged 1747-C10 cause communication problems?
A: Yes. Damaged conductors, loose connectors, or poor contact can interrupt communication or cause intermittent connection failures.
Q9: What should be checked if communication cannot be established?
A: Inspect both cable ends, verify the correct peripheral device and connection arrangement, check the interface converter where applicable, and confirm that the programming software is configured correctly.
Q10: Can an ordinary Ethernet cable replace the 1747-C10?
A: No. Similar connector appearance does not guarantee electrical or pinout compatibility. Use the specified cable or a verified compatible replacement.
