Allen-Bradley 81001-340-71-R – Factory‑Terminated Interconnect Cable for Rockwell Control and Motion Systems

The Allen‑Bradley 81001-340-71-R is a factory‑terminated industrial cable assembly used to connect Rockwell/Allen‑Bradley controllers, I/O, drives, or feedback devices with a known, OEM pinout. From my experience, teams pick this type of harness when they want repeatable quality and fewer surprises—no field crimping, predictable wiring maps, and quick swap‑outs during outages. You might notice that assemblies in this family are typically shielded and panel‑grade, which helps reduce noise and keeps cabinets tidy.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty period: 365 days
• Delivery time: 1 week for in-stock; no more than 1 month at the latest
• Payment method: 50% advance payment; full payment for delivery
• Express delivery methods: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• OEM pinout and connectors – Built for Allen‑Bradley systems, which typically means plug‑and‑play with the intended device pairing.
• Shielded multi‑core build – Helps protect low‑level signals (analog, encoder/feedback, or discrete) against EMI in mixed‑energy panels.
• Panel‑grade jacket – Flexible routing in wire duct with good abrasion resistance for cabinet or machine applications.
• Time‑saving installation – Labeled ends and locking hardware speed up changeovers and reduce wiring errors.
• Consistent quality – Factory terminations tend to be more reliable than field‑made crimps, especially under vibration.

Technical Specifications

The table lists practical, commonly expected characteristics for this Allen‑Bradley cable assembly. If you share the mating device part numbers, we’ll confirm the exact pinout and connector style before shipment.

Application Fields

• PLC and I/O marshalling inside ControlLogix/CompactLogix cabinets
• Drive and motion enclosures where feedback or control wiring needs shielded, factory‑terminated cables
• Machine OEM builds standardizing harness lengths for repeatable assembly time
• On‑skid control panels tying sensors/actuators to terminal blocks with known pinout

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Factory terminations generally reduce intermittent faults seen with hand‑crimped connections.
• Compatibility – OEM coding aligns with Rockwell hardware; in many cases it’s a straight swap with no rewiring.
• Cost & time savings – Faster installs, fewer reworks, and cleaner documentation during FAT/SAT.
• Support – We can cross‑check mating part numbers and cabinet drawings before shipment to avoid surprises.

Installation & Maintenance

• Routing – Keep separation from high‑EMI sources (VFD outputs, contactor lines); observe minimum bend radius.
• Shielding & grounding – Maintain shield continuity; bond at the designated end per your EMC standard.
• Strain relief – Use clamps or glands near both connectors; ensure locking features are fully engaged.
• Label discipline – Preserve original cable IDs so loop checks and future troubleshooting stay quick.
• Periodic checks – Inspect jacket and connectors during PMs; clean dust from ducts and re‑torque clamp points if needed.

Quality & Certifications

• CE and RoHS compliant materials (typical for Allen‑Bradley interconnect cables)
• Commonly supplied with UL AWM‑style panel wiring ratings (model dependent)
• Manufacturer’s warranty: 12 months from shipment

What maintenance teams tell us: “Dropped in during a drive cabinet tidy‑up—pinout matched and noise issues settled down.” Share your mating device part numbers, desired length, and cabinet constraints, and we’ll validate the 81001-340-71-R pairing before we ship on your schedule.
