The 1783-BMS06SGA switch is an Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation industrial switch that is made for professional systems operating in typical industrial operating conditions. The unit is part of the Stratix 5700 series of Ethernet managed switches. The 1783-BMS06SGA switch has dimensions that include a width of 7.5 centimeters (2.94 inches), a height of 12.95 centimeters (5.1 inches), and a depth of 10.92 centimeters (4.3 inches). The 1783-BMS06SGA switch has total of 6 ports and an alarm relay rating of 1 Amp at 30 Volts DC or 0.5 Amps at 48 Volts DC. The unit includes 4 RH45 ports and 2 SFP ports. The power requirements of the unit are 0.5 to 2 Amps at a voltage of 12 to 48 Volts DC while its power consumption is 9.5 Watts at 24 Volts DC at an operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).

The specified torque of the 1783-BMS06SGA switch is 0.23 to 0.96 N-m. The unit comes with an open-style enclosure and it carries a T4 temperature code according to the IEC and North American regulations. Also, the 1783-BMS06SGA switch has isolation voltage of 50 Volts (continuous) for the basic insulation type. The isolation voltage refers to DC power ports to ground, DC power ports to Ethernet ports, and DC power ports to alarm ports. It should be noted that the 1783-BMS06SGA switch does not have isolation between individual Ethernet ports and between the console port and system. The isolation type is tested at 850 Volts DC for 60 seconds. The switch uses the memory card with the product code 1784-SD1 and it is compatible with the following SFP modules: the 1783-SP100FX, 1783-SFP1GSX, 1783-SFP100LX, and the 1783-SFP1GLX module.
