1485T-P2T5-T5 | Allen-Bradley | DeviceNet Auxiliary Power Tap Module

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1485T-P2T5-T5 functions as a heavy-duty, 2-port DeviceNet Power Tap Module designed for industrial bus network trunks. This hardware device injects auxiliary 24VDC power directly into DeviceNet networks, supplying stable operating current to downstream nodes, smart sensors, and pneumatic valve manifolds. We distribute this network infrastructure component exclusively in 100% brand new, original factory condition to eliminate contact resistance, ensure full current-carrying capacity, and maintain optimal voltage stabilization across long network segments.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Drives Massive Current for Expanded Nodes: The internal bus bars handle a continuous 15 Amp current load at 24VDC. This high capacity allows the module to power multiple heavy-draw network nodes simultaneously, preventing the localized voltage drops that disrupt communication on dense or long-distance bus layouts.

• Seals Raw Power Inputs Against Plant Grime: An integrated heavy-duty cable gland seals the raw incoming power lines, routing them to a secure internal terminal strip. This design provides a dust-tight, moisture-proof seal that prevents oil mist, washdown condensation, and metal filings from shorting out the electrical connections.

• Guarantees Correct Alignment via Physical Keying: The thick round media ports feature standard industry orientation keys. These mechanical alignment tracks prevent technicians from plugging network trunk lines in upside down or misaligning pins during assembly, which completely eliminates the risk of cross-wiring data and power lines.

• Stands Up to Heavy Machinery Vibrations: The rugged 0.88 lbs industrial-grade housing secures tightly to control panel surfaces. Its robust construction keeps the thick round mini-style connectors locked in place, maintaining constant pin pressure and preventing intermittent micro-arcing when mounted on high-vibration equipment.

FAQs

• Can I use thin-profile drop cables directly with the ports on this tap module?

  No. The 1485T-P2T5-T5 utilizes heavy-duty thick round media (mini-style) ports designed specifically for thick backbone trunk cables to maintain a 15 Amp current rating. To connect thin drop lines, install a standard thick-to-thin media reduction adapter or a separate junction box segment down the line.

• Is this DeviceNet hardware an authentic factory-fresh unit or a surplus component?

  We guarantee this product is 100% brand new, authentic, and completely unused factory stock. It ships inside its original manufacturer box with unblemished connector pins, intact internal terminal seals, and all original tracking labels and quality assurance markings fully intact.

• Does this power tap isolate the V+ lines if I have multiple power supplies on the network?

  Yes. This tap module breaks the continuous internal V+ network wire while maintaining total continuity for the data lines (CAN_H/CAN_L) and the V- common reference. This physical split allows control engineers to divide the network into distinct power zones, preventing balancing currents or damage from mismatched voltage sources.
