Allen-Bradley Stratix 5400 all-gigabit switch

The Allen-Bradley Stratix 5400 switch is an all-gigabit switch 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 product is suitable for industrial environments experiencing an influx of high-performance, gigabit-speed end devices, such as IP video cameras and telephony. It is also fit 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. The GE Power over Ethernet (PoE) and additional GE fibre port options enhance scalability and help meet a wide range of application needs.

The product 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. Default configurations help simplify set-up, optimise performance and enable faster diagnostics retrieval. The switch also comes with network address translation to help reduce commissioning time.
