As a dedicated supplier of industrial automation components, Rossonix Co., Limited is pleased to offer the genuine ALLEN-BRADLEY Stratix 8000 4 Port SFP Expansion Module (1783-MX04S). Established in 2011 and serving a global clientele across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, we understand the critical need for reliable and scalable network infrastructure in demanding industrial environments. This expansion module is engineered to seamlessly integrate with the robust Stratix 8000 platform, providing a flexible and future-proof solution for expanding your network's fiber optic connectivity. It represents a strategic investment in enhancing data throughput, extending network reach, and ensuring communication resilience for your control systems.
This module is designed to address the evolving connectivity requirements of modern industrial applications. Below are its key characteristics and technical specifications presented for clarity.
Seamless Integration: The 1783-MX04S is specifically designed for the Allen-Bradley Stratix 8000 series of modular managed switches. It plugs directly into the switch chassis, leveraging the switch's management capabilities and power supply for a clean, integrated solution.
High-Density Fiber Connectivity: This module adds four additional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports to your Stratix 8000 switch. SFP ports allow you to use a variety of fiber optic transceivers (multimode or singlemode) to connect to other network devices over long distances, immune to electromagnetic interference common in industrial settings.
Enhanced Network Flexibility and Scalability: It enables network designers to tailor the switch's port configuration to specific application needs. You can start with a base configuration and add modules like the 1783-MX04S as your network grows or when specific fiber links are required, protecting your initial investment.
Robust Industrial Design: Inheriting the rugged design principles of the Stratix family, this module is built to withstand harsh conditions including wide temperature ranges, vibration, and electrical noise, ensuring consistent performance.
Centralized Management: All ports on the expansion module are managed through the Stratix 8000 switch's intuitive web interface or network management software, providing a unified view and control point for the entire network segment.
Technical specifications for the Allen-Bradley 1783-MX04S are summarized in the following table.
| Attribute | Specification |
| Manufacturer / Brand | Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) |
| Part Number | 1783-MX04S |
| Product Type | Expansion Module |
| Compatible Switch Series | Stratix 8000 Modular Managed Switches |
| Ports | 4 x SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) |
| Port Function | Fiber Optic Uplink/Downlink Expansion |
| Management | Managed through host Stratix 8000 switch |
| Typical Applications | Factory Automation, Process Control, SCADA Networks |
The primary advantage of incorporating the 1783-MX04S into your network is the significant enhancement of long-distance and noise-immune communication links. By utilizing fiber optic cables via SFP transceivers, you can connect switches across a plant floor or between buildings without worrying about signal degradation from EMI/RFI. This leads to more reliable data transfer for critical control and monitoring information. Furthermore, the modular approach reduces downtime during network upgrades; you can install this module without replacing the entire switch chassis. For system integrators and plant engineers, this translates into lower lifecycle costs, greater design freedom, and a network ready to support IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) initiatives that demand high-bandwidth, deterministic data flow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main purpose of the 1783-MX04S module?
A1: Its primary function is to add four fiber optic connectivity ports to a compatible Allen-Bradley Stratix 8000 modular managed switch. It expands the switch's capability to connect to other devices using SFP transceivers over fiber optic cable.
Q2: Which Stratix 8000 switch models is this module compatible with?
A2: The 1783-MX04S is designed for the Stratix 8000 series modular chassis. For specific compatibility with a chassis model number (e.g., 1783-US08T, 1783-US16T), please consult the official Allen-Bradley documentation or contact us with your chassis details.
Q3: Are the SFP transceivers included with the module?
A3: Typically, SFP expansion modules are sold without the transceivers. The SFP transceivers (e.g., for Gigabit Ethernet, multimode/singlemode fiber) must be purchased separately based on your distance and fiber type requirements.
Q4: Can I mix this SFP module with other types of expansion modules in the same switch?
A4: Yes, the Stratix 8000 chassis supports mixing different module types (e.g., copper RJ45, SFP) to create a custom port configuration that suits your network design.
Q5: What are the benefits of using fiber optic ports over standard copper Ethernet ports in an industrial setting?
A5: Fiber optic links offer superior resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), allow for much longer cable runs (kilometers vs. 100 meters for copper), provide enhanced electrical isolation, and support higher bandwidth potential, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments and backbone connections.
Q6: How is this expansion module managed and configured?
A6: The module itself is not independently managed. Once installed in the Stratix 8000 chassis, its ports appear as additional interfaces within the switch's management software (e.g., Stratix 8000 web interface, Studio 5000 Logix Designer), allowing for unified configuration of VLANs, QoS, and other settings.
Q7: Does installing this module require the switch to be powered down?
A7: The Stratix 8000 platform generally supports hot-swapping of expansion modules, meaning you can install or remove the 1783-MX04S without powering down the main switch chassis, minimizing network disruption. Always refer to the installation guide for specific procedures.
Q8: What kind of support or warranty comes with this product?
A8: We supply genuine Allen-Bradley products. The manufacturer's standard warranty applies. As your supplier, Rossonix provides logistical support and can assist with compatibility verification. Detailed warranty terms are available upon request with your order.
