Understand the cable options
You can connect components using three cable options .
Use this cable As
Round (thick) the trunk line on the DeviceNet network
with an outside diameter of 12.2 mm
(0.48 in.). You can also use this cable for
drop lines.
Round (thin) the drop line connecting devices to the main
line with an outside diameter of 6.9 mm
(0.27 in.). This cable has a smaller diameter
and is more flexible than thick cable. You
can also use this cable for the trunk line.
Flat
Class 1 power supplies allow for an 8A
system and the use of Class 1 flat cable.
Class 2 flat cable must not exceed 4A.
the trunk line on the DeviceNet network,
with dimensions of 19.3 mm x 5.3 mm (0.76
in. x 0.21 in.). This cable has no

KwikLink drop cable a non-shielded, 4-conductor drop cable for
use only in KwikLink systems.
Unshielded drop cable a non-shielded, 4-conductor drop cable
(with an outside diameter specified by the
vendor) for use only in flat cable systems
All Allen-Bradley media, including KwikLink,
meets or exceeds the specifications defined in
