The ABB FPX86-9377–A is a high-performance industrial fiber optic transceiver module designed to enable reliable, high-speed data transmission in harsh industrial environments. As part of ABB’s Industrial IT Communications portfolio, this module bridges the gap between copper-based Ethernet networks and fiber optic infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity for applications requiring long-distance transmission, electrical isolation, or immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FPX86-9377–A is ideal for industrial automation systems, smart grids, and large-scale manufacturing campuses where robust, low-latency communication is critical.
Featuring support for both single-mode (SMF) and multi-mode (MMF) fiber, the ABB FPX86-9377–A offers flexibility in network design, with transmission distances of up to 20 km for SMF and 550 m for MMF. Its Gigabit Ethernet compatibility (10/100/1000 Mbps) ensures high-bandwidth performance for data-intensive applications like real-time video surveillance, IIoT data streaming, and motion control in robotics. The module’s rugged metal enclosure and wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) make it suitable for extreme environments, including offshore platforms, mining sites, and power substations.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity: The ABB FPX86-9377–A eliminates signal degradation caused by EMI from motors, transformers, or high-voltage equipment. In a steel mill, the module maintained 100% data integrity in a high-EMI environment where copper-based Ethernet links failed repeatedly, reducing unplanned downtime by 35%.
Long-distance reliability: With its single-mode fiber support, the module enables reliable communication across large industrial campuses without signal repeaters. A automotive manufacturer used the FPX86-9377–A to connect production facilities located 15 km apart, achieving sub-millisecond latency and seamless integration of SCADA systems.
Plug-and-play simplicity: The module’s auto-negotiation feature (10/100/1000 Mbps) and pluggable SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) design simplify installation, reducing setup time by 50% compared to legacy fiber converters. A food processing plant deployed 30+ modules in under 2 hours, creating a redundant fiber optic network to monitor refrigeration units in real time.
Industrial networking and SCADA: The ABB FPX86-9377–A is essential for extending Ethernet networks in oil refineries, where it connects field devices (e.g., pressure transmitters, valves) to central control rooms over long distances. A major refinery used the module to transmit real-time process data from offshore platforms to onshore SCADA systems via single-mode fiber, ensuring compliance with environmental monitoring regulations.
Renewable energy infrastructure: In wind farms and solar plants, the module’s EMI immunity and wide temperature range make it suitable for connecting turbines/inverters to data centers. A utility company deployed the FPX86-9377–A in a wind farm located 10 km from the substation, achieving reliable communication for predictive maintenance of turbine gearboxes.
High-speed manufacturing lines: For electronics assembly and packaging machines, the module’s low latency (≤100 microseconds) supports real-time quality control systems. A smartphone factory used the FPX86-9377–A to transmit high-resolution vision data from inspection cameras to AI-powered defect detection servers via multi-mode fiber, increasing throughput by 20%.

Installation preparation: Mount the ABB FPX86-9377–A on a DIN rail in a ventilated control cabinet, ensuring proper clearance for heat dissipation. Use armored fiber optic cables with ST/SC/LC connectors, depending on the SFP module type, and terminate with surge protection devices in lightning-prone areas. Configure the module’s duplex mode (auto or full) via dip switches, and verify link status using the built-in LED indicators (power, link, activity).
Maintenance suggestions: Regularly inspect fiber connectors for dust or damage using a fiber optic inspection microscope, cleaning them with isopropyl alcohol swabs as needed. Monitor link quality via the module’s diagnostic LEDs—if the “Link” light blinks rapidly, check for loose connections or fiber degradation. Replace SFP modules every 5 years or after 10,000 hours of operation to maintain signal integrity. In high-dust environments, clean the module’s vents quarterly with compressed air to prevent overheating.
