1783-SFP1GLX | Allen-Bradley Stratix 2000 SFP Fiber Transceiver Module

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1783-SFP1GLX functions as a high-speed Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed specifically for the Stratix series industrial switches. This 1000LX module enables gigabit Ethernet communication over single-mode fiber optic cabling, significantly extending the reach of industrial networks beyond the limits of standard copper wire. It features a precision LC connector interface to provide low-signal-loss connectivity in critical automation backbones. We offer this component in 100% Brand New condition, ensuring the laser integrity and optical performance required for long-distance data transmission.

Engineering Advantages

The 1783-SFP1GLX solves critical infrastructure challenges by providing a rugged, high-bandwidth optical interface:

• Extended Network Range: This transceiver drives signals up to 1000 meters over single-mode fiber. It effectively connects remote I/O racks and distributed control cabinets across large-scale industrial facilities where copper distance limitations hinder connectivity.

• Total Dielectric Isolation: The fiber optic medium eliminates ground loops and provides complete immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This ensures stable data flow even when routing network lines near high-voltage switchgear or large industrial motors.

• Hot-Swappable Integration: The SFP architecture allows for "Removal and Insertion Under Power" (RIUP). Maintenance teams can upgrade or replace transceivers without shutting down the entire switch, maintaining uptime for the rest of the network segments.

• Space-Efficient Design: The ultra-compact footprint allows for high port density on Stratix switches. This enables engineers to maximize the networking capabilities of small control panels without increasing the physical size of the hardware.

FAQs

• Can I use the 1783-SFP1GLX with Multi-Mode fiber?

  No. The 1783-SFP1GLX utilizes a laser optimized for Single-Mode fiber. Using Multi-Mode fiber will result in high signal attenuation and intermittent communication. For Multi-Mode applications, use the 1783-SFP1GSX.

• Does this transceiver require any software configuration?

  The Stratix hardware generally recognizes the 1783-SFP1GLX automatically via "Plug-and-Play" logic. However, you should verify that the specific port on your managed switch is enabled for SFP communication within the management console.

• Is this a Brand New original Allen-Bradley part?

  Yes. We supply only 100% Brand New original transceivers. Unlike used or third-party compatible units, original new modules guarantee that the optical laser meets its full power output and longevity ratings.

• How do I protect the optical interface during installation?

  Always keep the dust plugs inserted in the LC ports until the moment you connect the fiber cables. Even microscopic dust particles can obstruct the laser path and cause signal failure in Gigabit networks.
