Product Description

The 1769-CRL1 (Part Number: 1769-CRL1) is a high-performance bus expansion cable designed for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems. This specialized "Right-to-Left" cable allows for the physical expansion of a 1769 I/O system by connecting the right side of one I/O bank to the left side of a subsequent bank. Measuring 1 foot (305 mm) in length, it is the essential component for engineers needing to split I/O modules across multiple DIN rails within a single control cabinet.

This expansion cable is engineered to maintain high-speed backplane communication integrity while providing a continuous 30V isolation rating. It includes built-in termination caps to ensure the bus is electrically closed, preventing signal reflections that could lead to system faults. The 1769-CRL1 is compatible with both Series A and Series B hardware and is designed to handle the significant current demands of a fully populated I/O bank, supporting up to 1.4 Amps at 24V DC.

Application Scenarios

The 1769-CRL1 is primarily used in complex automation panels where a single DIN rail cannot accommodate all required I/O modules. It allows the system designer to "snake" the 1769 backplane from the end of the first row down to the start of the second row, maintaining a logical and electrical connection to the main controller.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a CRL and a CRR cable?

  • A CRL cable connects the Right side of the first bank to the Left side of the second bank (Right-to-Left).

  • A CRR cable connects Right-to-Right.

  • The 1769-CRL1 is the standard choice for most multi-row DIN rail layouts.

Does this cable require a separate power supply for the second bank?
Yes. Every expansion bank connected via a 1769-CRL1 typically requires its own 1769 power supply (e.g., 1769-PA2 or 1769-PB2) to power the modules in that specific bank, as the cable only extends the communication bus, not the full power load.
