Allen Bradley 1783-SFP100LX Stratix Single-Mode Fiber Optic Transceiver

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1783-SFP100LX is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for the Stratix managed switch family. This module enables long-distance fiber optic communication by converting electrical signals into optical signals for 100Base-LX networks. It facilitates high-speed data transmission across factory floors and wide-area industrial networks. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New, ensuring original manufacturer performance and full compatibility with your Allen Bradley networking hardware.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Long-Distance Connectivity: The 100Base-LX standard utilizes single-mode fiber optics to bypass the distance limitations of traditional copper Ethernet (100m). This module transmits data over several kilometers, making it ideal for connecting remote I/O racks or geographically dispersed control rooms.

• Total EMI Immunity: By utilizing light instead of electricity for data transmission, the 1783-SFP100LX eliminates risks associated with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This ensures stable communication even when fiber cables run alongside high-voltage motor leads or welding equipment.

• Hot-Swappable Architecture: The SFP design allows for installation and removal while the Stratix switch remains powered. This capability eliminates system downtime during network upgrades or maintenance procedures.

• Compact Integration: The small footprint permits high-port density within Stratix switches. Engineers can populate multiple SFP slots in a tight control cabinet to manage complex network topologies without increasing the hardware footprint.

FAQs

• Can I use the 1783-SFP100LX with Multi-Mode fiber?

  No. This module specifically targets Single-Mode Fiber (SMF). Using Multi-Mode fiber will result in significant signal attenuation and link failure. For Multi-Mode applications, select the appropriate 100Base-FX SFP module.

• Is this module compatible with non-Stratix switches?

  While SFPs follow industry standards, Allen Bradley designs the 1783-SFP100LX specifically for Stratix 5400, 5700, and 8000 series switches. Using original 1783-series transceivers prevents "Unsupported Transceiver" firmware errors and ensures full diagnostic visibility.

• Does this unit come in original packaging?

  Yes. We ship every 1783-SFP100LX as a 100% Brand New item in its original factory packaging to guarantee the integrity of the optical interface and electronic components.

• How do I install the module?

  Align the module with the SFP slot on your Stratix switch and slide it in until you hear a click. Ensure the bale clasp is in the locked position before connecting your LC duplex fiber patch cable.
