Stratix series industrial ethernet switches

The Rockwell Automation/Cisco co-branded Stratix series is a range of industrial ethernet switches.

The series includes the Allen-Bradley Stratix 8000 modular managed switch suite, which has been optimised for operation in both IT and manufacturing environments. The switch uses the Cisco ‘Catalyst’ operating system and user interface and can be configured using RSLogix 5000 programming software. This allows users to set up, program and manage their switching applications using familiar methods.

The Stratix 6000 fixed managed switch series is designed to help deploy ethernet on the plant floor, featuring simple set-up and default configurations for ethernet/IP. The small, compact fixed managed switch series provides four or eight copper ports with an option for a fibre uplink to higher-level networks.

The Stratix 2000 unmanaged industrial-grade switches feature four to eight ports and are offered in copper and fibre connectivity options. It is designed to be easy to install and set up, as it doesn't require any configuration and uses simple cable connections.
