Installation
SCANport Cables
When selecting the SCANport cable to connect the 2100-GK61 
module to the SCANport product, you need to:
•
Use an Allen-Bradley SCANport cable. Refer to the table below.
•
Use less than 10 meters (33 feet) of cable between the SCANport 
product and adapter.
•
Keep SCANport cables away from high power cables to guard 
against introducing noise into your system.
DeviceNet Cables
The 2100-GK61 module comes with a 10-pin (dual row 5-pin) 
connector. This connector is used to wire the module for both single 
drops, when only one side of each terminal is used, or to daisy chain 
devices together when both sides of the terminals are used. A drop 
line connects a node such as a 2100-GK61 module in the DeviceNet 
cable system to the DeviceNet trunk.
Before connecting modules to the network, you must determine if 
your network is within limits of the cable system. Class 1 cables are 
rated 600 volts, 8 amps. Class 2 cables are rated 300 volts, 4 amps. 
The cables in the chart below can be used for Trunk or Drop 
applications. When used for Trunk, length limits must be observed.
Class 1 round drop cable is recommended for connections between 
devices and Class 1 Trunk. Maximum drop length is 6m (20 ft.) 
Cumulative Drop Budget is based on Data Rate.
