The weld shield is supplied with precut Velcro® tape strips. Position the strips on
the front window and attach the weld shields. Additional information about the
weld shields is provided in the publication 450L-IN001

Cables
Depending on the plug-in, an M12 5-pin or a M12 eight-pin connection cable is
required to connect a transceiver stick.
Connection cables (also commonly referred to as cordsets) have an M12 plug
(female) at one end and the other end is free wires.
Extension cables (also commonly referred to as patchcords or interconnection
cables) have one M12 plug at each end. They can be used to extend the length of
the connection cables or can be used to extend the cascading distance (Figure 12
on page 21). Only the M12 5-pin patchcords can be used to connect a safety light
curtain directly to a GuardShield safety light curtain ArmorBlock module.
Table 81 on page 203
lists cables that are required for connecting a light curtain
stick (cable color black). Check ab.rockwellautomation.com/Connection-
Devices/DC-Micro-Cordsets-and-Patchcords for additional lengths and/or
cable jacket colors.
