The 1783-SFP100FX module is hot-swappable, meaning it can be inserted or removed without interrupting the operation of the PLC. It supports multimode fiber optic cables, specifically 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron fiber with an LC connector.

This module enables the PLC to establish network communication over a fiber-optic link, allowing for long-distance communication, electrical noise immunity, and increased network reliability. It is often used in industrial automation applications where Ethernet connectivity is required, but the distance between devices exceeds the capabilities of copper-based Ethernet connections.
