The Stratix 2000 series is a series of Allen-Bradley unmanaged Ethernet switches that are ideal for small control networks. These units feature industrial-grade switches and they do not require any configuration. The units are designed to use a simple cable connection for ensuring easy connection with the Logix-based controllers. To ensure optimal performance and simplified monitoring of the switches classified under the Stratix 2000 series, these units come with status indicators. These indicate the status of the power supply, the status of the port speed, and the status of the network connection or the network activity. The Stratix 2000 switches feature various combinations of copper and fiber solutions. These units’ number of ports ranges from 5 to 18 ports and they use the SFP for increased network flexibility. The switches come with 100 MB and 1 GB port speeds to meet the network performance requirements. The extended temperature range is -40 to 75 degrees Celsius in selected versions.

The Stratix 2000 switches come with industrial-grade enclosures that feature the IP 30 protection rating to ensure that the units get an extended operating temperature range and sufficient environmental protection. The units also come with the plug and play operation for ensuring a fast and easy integration process. To protect the Stratix 2000 switches from unwanted traffic, the units feature the broadcast storm protection. The Stratix 2000 switches also come with the dual power inputs for ensuring maximum uptime even in harsh conditions. The units are designed to provide an easy startup experience while delivering multiple port counts with fiber options. The Stratix 2000 switches also deliver automatic cable crossover detection.
