Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1783-US6T2H is a Stratix 2000 unmanaged Ethernet switch designed for industrial network connectivity. It provides eight Ethernet ports, consisting of six 10/100 Mbps copper RJ45 ports and two preinstalled 100 Mbps single-mode fiber interfaces.
Unlike models that require separately purchased SFP transceivers, the 1783-US6T2H comes with two single-mode fiber SFP modules already installed. The optical interfaces use LC connectors and allow the switch to establish fiber connections between remote industrial network locations.
As an unmanaged switching device, the 1783-US6T2H forwards Ethernet traffic without requiring advanced network configuration. Its combination of copper and single-mode fiber interfaces makes it suitable for automation systems that need both local equipment connections and longer-distance optical communication.
The switch can connect PLCs, HMIs, industrial computers, and other Ethernet-enabled equipment. It is particularly useful in distributed manufacturing environments where copper connections serve local devices while fiber links connect separate control cabinets or production areas.

Working Principle
The 1783-US6T2H operates as an unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet switch. It receives Ethernet frames from connected devices, examines their destination MAC addresses, and forwards the frames through the appropriate network interfaces.
The six RJ45 ports handle copper Ethernet communication at 10/100 Mbps. These connections are suitable for local industrial equipment such as PLC controllers, operator panels, and industrial computers.
The two preinstalled single-mode fiber interfaces provide 100 Mbps optical communication through LC connectors. Each optical interface converts electrical Ethernet signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber and converts incoming optical signals back into electrical Ethernet data.
The basic communication arrangement is:
PLC / HMI / Industrial PC → 1783-US6T2H → Copper Ethernet or Single-Mode Fiber → Remote Network Devices
Because the switch is unmanaged, Ethernet frame forwarding takes place automatically without requiring manual VLAN, routing, or port-management configuration.
The combination of copper and optical interfaces allows the switch to serve as a local network connection point while maintaining communication with remote Ethernet equipment through single-mode fiber.
Role in the Stratix 2000 Industrial Ethernet Architecture
The 1783-US6T2H functions as an industrial Ethernet connectivity device within the Stratix 2000 network architecture.
Its six copper ports connect nearby automation equipment, while the two preinstalled single-mode fiber interfaces provide optical connections to remote network segments.
A typical network arrangement is:
Industrial Controller → 1783-US6T2H → Local Ethernet Devices / Single-Mode Fiber Network → Remote Industrial Equipment
