Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1783-SFP1GZX is a Gigabit single-mode fiber Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed for Rockwell Automation Stratix industrial Ethernet switches. It provides 1000BASE-ZX optical connectivity for industrial networks requiring long-distance data transmission between Ethernet switching devices.
Operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, the transceiver uses a dual LC optical connector and G.652 single-mode fiber. It supports fiber connections up to 70 km, making it suitable for connecting geographically separated control cabinets, production facilities, and remote industrial network segments.
The 1783-SFP1GZX also supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), allowing compatible Stratix switches to retrieve optical operating information through their management interfaces. This capability assists network engineers in monitoring transceiver conditions and troubleshooting optical communication problems.
As part of the Stratix fiber SFP accessory family, this module provides an optical network interface for compatible Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. It is particularly useful in industrial installations where copper Ethernet cable distances are insufficient.

Working Principle
The 1783-SFP1GZX converts electrical Gigabit Ethernet signals from the switch into optical signals for transmission over single-mode fiber. At the receiving end, a compatible transceiver converts the incoming optical signals back into electrical Ethernet signals.
The basic communication path is:
Stratix Switch → 1783-SFP1GZX → Dual LC Fiber Connection → Remote SFP Transceiver → Ethernet Switch
The transmitter operates at 1550 nm and uses single-mode optical fiber to carry data over extended distances. The receiving section detects the incoming optical signal and converts it into an electrical signal that the connected switch can process.
The module supports a maximum fiber distance of 70 km according to the Rockwell Automation technical specifications. Actual link performance depends on fiber attenuation, connector losses, optical power levels, and the overall link budget.
Digital Optical Monitoring provides additional information about optical operating conditions. Compatible switches can retrieve diagnostic data through their management interfaces, helping engineers identify abnormal optical conditions before they result in communication interruptions.
For shorter single-mode fiber connections, optical attenuation must also be considered. When the total fiber-link loss is below the specified minimum, suitable inline optical attenuators may be required to prevent receiver overload.
Role in the Stratix Industrial Ethernet Architecture
The 1783-SFP1GZX serves as the optical physical-layer interface in a Rockwell Automation Stratix industrial Ethernet network.
It connects compatible Stratix switches through single-mode fiber, allowing network traffic to travel between remote switching locations. The switch handles Ethernet forwarding and network management, while the SFP transceiver manages optical signal conversion.
A typical network arrangement is:
Industrial Controller → Stratix Ethernet Switch → 1783-SFP1GZX → Single-Mode Fiber → Remote Stratix Switch → Industrial Network

|---|---|
| Stratix Ethernet Switch | Manages industrial Ethernet traffic |
| Gigabit SFP Slot | Provides the installation interface for the optical transceiver |

Technical FAQs
What is the difference between the 1783-SFP1GZX and the 1783-SFP1GLX?
Both are Gigabit single-mode fiber SFP transceivers, but they use different optical specifications. The 1783-SFP1GZX operates at 1550 nm and supports distances up to 70 km, while the 1783-SFP1GLX operates at 1310 nm and supports distances up to 10 km.
Can the 1783-SFP1GZX operate over multimode fiber?
No. This transceiver is specified for G.652 single-mode fiber. A compatible single-mode optical cable must be used to achieve the intended transmission performance.
Why might an optical attenuator be required for a short fiber connection?
The 1783-SFP1GZX has a relatively high optical transmit power for long-distance applications. On short fiber links, excessive received optical power can overload the receiver. Rockwell Automation specifies using a 10 dB inline optical attenuator at each receiving port when the fiber-link loss is below 8 dB.
Does the 1783-SFP1GZX support optical diagnostics?
Yes. It supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM). Compatible Stratix switches can retrieve optical diagnostic information through their management interfaces, assisting with link monitoring and troubleshooting.
