Rockwell Automation has expanded its Allen-Bradley Stratix family of industrial switches with the Allen-Bradley Stratix 5400 switch, an all-gigabit option that helps manufacturers achieve higher network speeds for their increasingly high bandwidth applications. The switch also supports both Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing for a range of network configurations.
When used as a Layer 2 switch, the Stratix 5400 switch is suited for industrial environments experiencing an influx of higher-performance, gigabit-speed end devices, such as IP video cameras and telephony. It's also fit for heavier-industry applications that require more 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 higher-performance network and end device support. The GE Power over Ethernet (PoE) and additional GE fiber port options helps enhance scalability and the ability to meet a wide range of application needs.
The Stratix 5400 switch is available in 18 different models and offers up to 20 gigabit ports in a single switch. Default configurations help to simplify setup, better optimize performance and enable faster diagnostics retrieval. The Stratix 5400 switch also comes with Network Address Translation to help reduce commissioning time. It combines Cisco technology and Premier Integration into the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system to provide more familiar solutions for both information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) professionals.
