The 1783-ETAP2F​ is a high-performance industrial Ethernet networking component designed to provide robust connectivity in automation environments. Part of the Stratix 5700 series, this EtherNet/IP Tap features a unique combination of one copper port and two fiber optic ports. It is specifically engineered to support Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies and linear networks, allowing for seamless integration of standard copper devices into a high-speed, noise-immune optical backbone.

• Hybrid Connectivity:​ Equipped with 1 x 10/100 Mbps RJ45 copper port and 2 x 100Base-FX multimode fiber ports (LC type) for flexible network design.

• Industrial Durability:​ Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range (-25 to 60 °C) and resistance to electrical noise.

• Flexible Installation:​ Supports both DIN rail and panel mounting in horizontal or vertical orientations to save valuable panel space.

• Fault Tolerance:​ Enables high-performance ring capability with fast network recovery (typically < 3 ms) to minimize downtime during cable faults.

• Diagnostic Indicators:​ Includes LED status indicators (OK, Link 1, Link 2) for quick troubleshooting of network and power status.
