GE Fanuc IC695SPF002 Transceiver, Small Form, Pluggable, 100Base-FX SFP

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC695SPF002 is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Fiber Optic Transceiver designed for the PACSystems RX3i platform. It provides reliable 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity over multi-mode fiber (MMF), enabling long-distance communication in industrial automation networks. This hot-swappable SFP module plugs directly into the SFP cages of compatible RX3i network modules such as the IC695PNS001 (PROFINET Scanner) or IC695PNC001 (PROFINET Controller).

Installation Guide

1. Power Down Precaution: While SFPs are technically hot-swappable, Emerson recommends removing system power before inserting or removing the module in hazardous locations to avoid electrical arcing.
2. Verify Compatibility: Confirm the host module (PNS001 or PNC001) has an available SFP cage.
3. Remove Dust Cap: Keep the LC port covered until fiber cable installation to prevent contamination.
4. Insert SFP: Align the IC695SPF002 with the SFP cage and push gently until it clicks into place.
5. Connect Fiber: Use LC-duplex multi-mode fiber cable (OM1/OM2 rated for 1300 nm). Do not bend fiber below minimum bend radius.
6. LED Verification: Check the host module's Ethernet port LEDs for link and activity status.
7. Temperature Note: If surrounding air temperature exceeds 40°C, SFP surface temperatures may exceed 70°C. Use protective gloves or needle-nose pliers when removing.

Selection Tips

• Distance vs. Speed: Choose IC695SPF002 for 100 Mbps links up to 2 km. For 1 Gbps or longer distances, consider IC695SPF010 (10 km SMF) or IC695SPF550 (550 m MMF).
• Fiber Type: This module requires multi-mode fiber (MMF). Do not use with single-mode fiber (SMF).
• Pairing: Both ends of the fiber link must use matching 100Base-FX SFPs (1300 nm) for proper communication.
• Redundancy: For Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) rings, install two IC695SPF002 units in the dual SFP cages of the PNS001/PNC001.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the IC695SPF002 a standalone network module?
A: No. It is a pluggable SFP transceiver that must be installed into a compatible host module such as the IC695PNS001 or IC695PNC001. It does not have RJ-45 ports or Ethernet ports of its own.

Q2: What type of fiber cable do I need?
A: Use LC-duplex multi-mode fiber (MMF) cable rated for 1300 nm wavelength. OM1 or OM2 fiber is typically suitable for 2 km distances at 100 Mbps.

Q3: Can I use this SFP with single-mode fiber?
A: No. The IC695SPF002 is designed for multi-mode fiber only. For single-mode applications, use the IC695SPF010 (1000Base-LX, 10 km).

Q4: What is the difference between IC695SPF002 and IC695SPF550?
A: IC695SPF002 is a 100Base-FX module (100 Mbps, 1300 nm, 2 km MMF). IC695SPF550 is a 1000Base-SX module (1 Gbps, 850 nm, 550 m MMF). They are not interchangeable.

Q5: Does this module support hot-swapping?
A: Yes, SFP modules are hot-swappable. However, in hazardous locations or when ambient temperatures exceed 40°C, Emerson recommends powering down the system or using protective equipment during removal.

Q6: What is the warranty period?
A: We provide a standard 12-month warranty for all new and original GE Fanuc / Emerson products.
