Allen-Bradley 1786TPYS Coaxial Y Tap Cable Connector

The Allen-Bradley 1786-TPYS is a ControlNet coaxial straight Y-tap that branches a trunk coaxial run to a drop line, enabling multiple devices to tap into a single ControlNet network without disrupting the main path. Cataloged as 1786-TPYS, this straight Y-tap comes with a 1-meter drop cable terminated by a BNC connector for straightforward field installation on compatible ControlNet hardware. It is part of the ControlNet coax cable system and uses RG6-type coax media to carry the ControlNet signal, supporting impedance control and low-loss performance across taps. The Y-tap configuration provides an inline branch that maintains the trunk’s electrical characteristics while extending network reach. Common applications include feeding remote I/O, sensors, or local controllers from a main ControlNet trunk in industrial automation environments where a compact, easy-to-install branch is needed.
