Industrial switch helps manufacturers address network requirements
NETWORK COMPONENT The Stratix 5400 switch offers up to 20 gigabit ports in a single switch
Manufactured by industrial automation specialist Rockwell Automation, Allen Bradley is registered with the Stratix family of industrial switches, including the Allen-Bradley Stratix 5400 switch, targeting end-users across various industries, as well as original-equipment manufacturers and machine builders.
The Stratix 5400 is an all-gigabit option that helps manufacturers achieve higher network speeds for increasingly high bandwidth applications. The switch also supports Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing.
When used as a Layer 2 switch, the Stratix 5400 performs well in industrial applications that accommodate an influx of high-performance, gigabit-speed end-devices such as Internet protocol video cameras and telephony. It is also suitable for heavy-industry applications that require resilient network topologies.
When used as a Layer 3 switch, routing is enabled between segmented networks to help achieve better performance. The switch uses an all-gigabit design for high-performance network and end-device support. Further, the GE Power-over-Ethernet and additional GE fibre port options enhance scalability.
The Stratix 5400 switch is available in 18 different models and offers up to 20 gigabit ports in a single switch to meet a wide range of application needs.
Network convergence, increased reliability and the growing adoption of high-speed devices across the connected enterprise are driving the need for a higher-performing and more versatile industrial switch, says Rockwell Automation product manager Mark Devonshire.
“The Stratix 5400 switch provides this capability and helps confirm that manufacturers have a robust architecture in place as network demands continue to broaden,” he concludes.
