Product Detailed Description
The Allen-Bradley 1783-SFP1GTE is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for use in industrial Ethernet networks. It is part of the Stratix® family of managed Ethernet switches from Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley). This module enables high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling, supporting 10/100/1000Base-TX standards. It is specifically engineered for rugged industrial environments, providing reliable data transmission in applications requiring robust networking performance. The transceiver is hot-swappable, allowing for easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations. It complies with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards to ensure interoperability with compatible devices and is compatible with Stratix 5700, 6000, 8000, and 8300 series managed switches.

Product Advantages
- Rugged Industrial Design: Operates reliably in extreme temperatures (-5°C to +85°C) and vibration-prone environments, outperforming standard office-grade transceivers and reducing downtime in harsh conditions.
- High-Speed Flexibility: Supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, allowing seamless integration into mixed-speed networks without manual configuration.
- Easy Deployment: Hot-swappable feature minimizes installation time and network disruptions; plug-and-play compatibility with Allen-Bradley Stratix switches simplifies setup.
- Cost-Effective Scalability: Enables Gigabit Ethernet over existing copper infrastructure up to 100 m, extending network reach without the need for fiber optic cabling in short-to-medium distances.
- Enhanced Reliability: Built to exceed OEM standards with serialized testing for data integrity; supports advanced diagnostics via DOM for proactive maintenance.
- Broad Interoperability: MSA compliance ensures it works with third-party devices, providing flexibility and reducing vendor lock-in.
These advantages make the 1783-SFP1GTE ideal for upgrading legacy networks to Gigabit speeds while maintaining industrial-grade durability.
Precautions/Notes
- Installation Safety: Always power down the switch or ensure the port is disabled before inserting or removing the transceiver to avoid electrical hazards or damage. Use ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection during handling.
- Environmental Limits: Do not exceed the specified temperature range (-5°C to +85°C); exposure to condensation, dust, or corrosive substances may degrade performance. Ensure proper ventilation in enclosed cabinets.
- Cable Compatibility: Use only Category 5e or higher rated copper cables to achieve full 100 m distance and Gigabit speeds; improper cabling can cause signal loss or reduced throughput.
- Compatibility Check: Verify switch firmware is up-to-date for optimal performance; not all Stratix models support every SFP variant—consult the switch user manual (e.g., 1783-UM007) for confirmation.
- Warranty and Maintenance: Factory warranty may not apply to third-party compatible versions; for originals, avoid exposure to excessive humidity (>95% non-condensing). Regular cleaning of the RJ-45 connector with isopropyl alcohol is recommended to prevent contamination.
- Regulatory Compliance: This product is intended for industrial use only; ensure installation complies with local electrical codes (e.g., NEC in the US) and electromagnetic compatibility standards (EMC).
Failure to follow these notes may void warranties or lead to equipment failure.
Product Applications
The 1783-SFP1GTE is widely used in industrial automation and control systems where reliable, high-bandwidth Ethernet connectivity is essential. Typical applications include:
- Manufacturing Automation: Connecting PLCs, HMIs, and sensors in assembly lines for real-time data exchange, enabling EtherNet/IP protocols in Rockwell ControlLogix or CompactLogix systems.
- Process Control: Integrating into water/wastewater treatment plants or oil/gas facilities for monitoring and control over copper networks up to 100 m.
- Material Handling: Deployed in conveyor systems, warehousing, and logistics for fast communication between drives, barcode scanners, and safety devices.
- Power Utilities: Used in substation automation for IEEE 1613-compliant networking, supporting SCADA systems with rugged connectivity.
- Transportation Systems: Applied in rail signaling or traffic management for linking controllers and I/O modules in harsh outdoor environments.
- Building Automation: Extending Ethernet to HVAC, lighting, and security systems in commercial buildings requiring industrial robustness.
In these scenarios, the module facilitates Converged Plantwide Ethernet Architectures (CPwE), improving data throughput and reducing latency for mission-critical operations.
