Product Description P/N: 1786-RPCD
Description
The Allen-Bradley 1786-RPCD is a ControlNet dual copper repeater module designed to extend and segment ControlNet networks using RG6 coaxial media. It provides two independent ControlNet channels and supports linear, star, and redundant topologies when paired with a 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter. This DIN-rail–mounted module operates from a 5 VDC backplane supply and includes LED status indicators for channel activity monitoring.

Information About 1786-RPCD
The 1786-RPCD is a coaxial repeater module within Allen-Bradley’s ControlNet networking family, engineered to expand and enhance network coverage. Its construction features dual RG6 coaxial ports and an open-style housing intended for installation inside a protected industrial enclosure. Integration is achieved through the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter, which can support up to four repeater modules for scalable network distribution. Typical usage includes extending copper trunk distances, isolating network segments, and establishing hub-based or redundant ControlNet architectures.
Key Features:
- Dual copper ControlNet ports: Enables network extension and multiple topology configurations.
- Supports linear, star, and redundant layouts: Provides flexibility for various ControlNet designs.
- DIN rail mounting: Simplifies installation within existing control cabinet layouts.
- LED channel indicators: Displays operational status and communication activity for each channel.
- Powered via repeater adapter: Receives 5 VDC supply from the 1786-RPA/B module.
- Coaxial RG6 media support: Compatible with standard ControlNet coaxial cable installations.
- Compact modular footprint: Allows up to four repeater modules per adapter for scalable expansion.
- Open-style enclosure: Requires installation inside a protective cabinet for environmental shielding.
The 1786-RPCD delivers the reliability and precision required for extending and segmenting ControlNet communication networks.
