Information About 1786-CTK

The Allen-Bradley 1786-CTK toolkit is a Coax toolkit, a set of tools that are specifically designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley in other to facilitate the ControlNet wiring installation process. This 1786-CTK Coax toolkit includes a cable strip tool, a memory blade holder and its cartridges, a calibration tool (also known as a flare tool), a crimp tool, and most importantly, a detailed guide for the deployment of the ControlNet Networks called "The ControlNet Coax Media Planning and Installation Guide, Allen-Bradley publication CNET-IN002." Properly trained technicians using the 1786-CTK Coax Toolkit and following the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation will guarantee the best possible future results on a ControlNet architecture system.

The main tool in the Allen-Bradley 1786-CTK toolkit is the cable strip tool, and it comes from the factory with two blade cassettes. One blade cassette is intended for use with the cable PVC material and the other one is intended for the FEP. The Allen-Bradley 1786-CTK Coax toolkit also contains additional terminating resistors and extra connectors, so that the technicians performing the installation can always have them readily available when needed. The memory blade cartridges come with 2 sets of memory blades as spare parts. A custom-designed knife is also included in the toolkit, and so are versatile and durable wire cutters. When installing the IP 67 rated connectors, a heat gun will be required (this tool is not supplied in the toolkit). Following all the application and installation guidelines that are detailed in the ControlNet Coax Media Planning and Installation Guide will prevent electrical noise from entering the controllers from external sources.

  • Heat gun is required for installation but sold separately

Question: Can the 1786-CTK toolkit be used with different cable types?
Date Update:09/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1786-CTK toolkit is compatible with ControlNet coax cables that have either PVC or FEP insulation. It includes two blade cassettes designed specifically for these materials. This ensures clean, precise stripping without damaging the cable. Technicians can switch between blade cassettes depending on the type of insulation used. This versatility supports a wide range of ControlNet installations.

Question: How does the 1786-CTK support training and installation quality?
Date Update:09/06/2025
Answer:

The 1786-CTK comes with the ControlNet Coax Media Planning and Installation Guide. This guide outlines detailed steps for proper cable preparation, installation, and testing. It ensures that technicians follow best practices to achieve optimal network performance. The toolkit also supports training by providing hands-on experience with real installation tools.

Question: Does the 1786-CTK toolkit include a heat gun?
Date Update:09/06/2025
Answer:

No, the heat gun required for installing IP67-rated connectors is not included in the 1786-CTK toolkit. Technicians need to purchase this tool separately. The heat gun is used to apply heat shrink tubing and ensure proper sealing of the connectors. This step is essential for maintaining the IP67 rating, which protects against dust and moisture. For all other installation steps, the toolkit provides the necessary tools.

Question: Is the 1786-CTK still in production?
Date Update:09/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1786-CTK ControlNet Media Toolkit is still in production and has an "Active Mature" lifecycle status. This means it remains available for purchase and fully supported by Rockwell Automation. Technicians can continue to rely on this essential toolkit for ControlNet network installations and maintenance.
