Allen-Bradley 1783-SFP1GSX Stratix Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Module

Product Overview

The 1783-SFP1GSX serves as a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed for Stratix industrial managed switches. It provides a 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet interface over multi-mode fiber optic cabling. We supply this unit in 100% Brand New condition, ensuring optimal optical signal integrity and low-latency data transmission for mission-critical industrial Ethernet networks.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Electromagnetic Immunity: The 1783-SFP1GSX utilizes fiber optic media to transmit data, which inherently resists electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This solves communication errors typically found when routing copper cables near high-voltage motor drives or heavy machinery.

• Hot-Swappable Integration: This SFP module supports hot-swapping into any compatible Stratix transceiver slot. Engineers replace or upgrade network interfaces without powering down the switch, significantly reducing localized system downtime.

• Compact Footprint: The small form-factor design maximizes port density on the switch faceplate. This allows high-speed fiber uplinks in space-constrained control cabinets where traditional bulky media converters would fail to fit.

• Extended Reach for Industrial Plants: Supporting distances up to 550 meters over multi-mode fiber, this transceiver enables reliable high-speed connectivity between remote I/O racks and central control rooms, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet.

FAQs

Is the 1783-SFP1GSX compatible with single-mode fiber?

No. This transceiver operates at an 850nm wavelength specifically for multi-mode fiber. For single-mode fiber applications, you must use the 1783-SFP1GLX (1310nm) module to ensure proper light propagation and signal reception.

What type of patch cable do I need for this module?

The 1783-SFP1GSX requires a multi-mode fiber patch cable with a Duplex LC connector. For maximum distance and performance, we recommend using OM3 or OM4 grade fiber.

Does this module require any software configuration in the Stratix switch?

The Stratix switch hardware automatically detects the 1783-SFP1GSX upon insertion. While the port initializes automatically, you can monitor optical signal strength and temperature through the switch's web interface or Studio 5000 via Add-On Profiles (AOP).

Can I use this transceiver in non-Rockwell switches?

While the 1783-SFP1GSX follows standard SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) protocols, Rockwell Automation optimizes this module specifically for the Stratix series firmware. Using it in third-party switches may trigger "unsupported transceiver" warnings depending on the host's firmware restrictions.
