Available are 5-port and 8-port Ethernet switches, 4-port and 8-port Ethernet switches with one 100BaseF fiber port, and an Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter.
interfacing with legacy (10 Mbps) or fast (100 Mbps) Ethernet devices.
through an RJ45 connection to 100BaseFX Ethernet over an ST multimode fiber connection for links up to 4km.
Once connected to the network, Stride Ethernet Switches are true plug-and-play devices which start operating at power up.
They automatically determine and remember devices connected to each port and only route messages through the appropriate ports, increasing speed and bandwidth.
Even under heavy I/O and data exchange, Stride switches and the Ethernet control network maintain more consistent cycle times.
The Stride switches support 10BaseT (10 Mbps) and 100BaseT (100 Mbps) on RJ45 ports.
All units feature redundant power inputs with industrial surge and spike protection.
Fiber optic cabling greatly increases network distance and enhances reliability, saving time spent tracking communications problems caused by electrical interference.
Stride industrial Ethernet switches and media converters start at $99, are DIN-rail mountable and are UL, CSA, and CE certified, as well as rated Class 2, Div. 2 for hazardous locations.
