Industrial Strength Ethernet


Designed with our PLC, HMI and drive customers in mind, STRIDE Ethernet switches are specifically built for industrial environments. With a STRIDE industrial Ethernet switch on an isolated control LAN, you can reduce data collisions that slow down your network.

STRIDE Ethernet switches automatically determine and remember the devices connected to each port and route messages only through the appropriate ports. Install STRIDE Ethernet switches and your Ethernet control network will maintain more consistent cycle times even under heavy I/O and data exchange.

Extreme Temperatures

For industrial applications where temperatures can change from freezing to sweltering heat, the STRIDE line offers Ethernet switches that are designed for standard industrial environments, as well as the most extreme industrial environments. >br> The rugged metal housing Ethernet switch models offer superior EMC performance and corrosion-resistance while also allowing you to choose various mounting methods for your application. This is standard and no kits are required!

Fiber Optic Support

STRIDE Ethernet switch models offer a variety of Fiber Optic connections.
Fiber optic cables are immune to electrical and magnetic interference and cannot be damaged by induced voltage transients. Fiber optic cabling not only enhances reliability, it saves time you might have spent tracking down those nasty communications problems caused by electrical interference. Also, your network distance is greatly increased when using Fiber optic cabling.
Industrial Strength Ethernet

Unmanaged SwitchesUnmanaged Switches
All unmanaged switch models offer multiple 10/100BaseT RJ45 Ethernet ports; several include fiber optic connection with SC fiber optic connector and ST connector versions.
  • Advanced hardware and reliable power protection
  • Simple installation - no user setup required
  • Dual redundant power inputs with industrial surge and spike protection
  • 10/100 Ethernet switches: All 10/100BaseT RJ45 ports are auto-detecting, auto-crossover and auto-polarity

Managed SwitchesManaged Switches
STRIDE managed switches/ Gigabit switches are especially beneficial in an industrial network application.
Supported features such as SNMP, IGMP, VLAN, QOS and network redundancy, allow networks to be configured and managed in a way that assures the highest performance levels.
  • Reliable, rugged and cost effective Ethernet switches that will survive extreme temperatures as well as unreliable industrial power.
  • STRIDE managed Ethernet switches offer Gigabit port switch and fast Ethernet options, as well as various fiber SFP modules (SFP transceivers) that can be used on select managed switch models. SFP transceivers are sold separately.
  • Available managed Ethernet switches include:
    5-port switches, 8-port switches and 16-port switches (2 versions with fiber optic ports),
    8-port switches and 10-port Gigabit switches (with SFP fiber optic port options)

Converters, GatewaysConverters, Gateways
The new MB-GATEWAY single port Modbus Gateway module converts Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU. It supports up to 12 simultaneous Modbus TCP Client (master) Ethernet connections, and up to 128 RTU Server (slave) serial connections.

Multimode SC and ST connector versions are available on the Ethernet Switch series, and some managed switch models support SFPs, which include single-mode and multimode transceivers with LC connectors. SFP modules (SFP transceivers) are sold separately.
Fiber optic cables are immune to electrical and magnetic interference and voltage transients, protecting Industrial PCs and PLCs from the problems of large ground planes found with copper wire Industrial networks.

PC Network CardPC Network Card
This PC Ethernet adapter card is manufactured exclusively by Host Automation Products, L.L.C. This network interface card is fully Plug-and-Play compatible and uses standard AMD PCNET II Family Ethernet Adapter drivers found in the Windows 98/ 2000/ NT/ XP operating systems.

Cat5e CablesCat5e Cables
Ethernet is a multi-purpose communication protocol that has become the data standard for the industrial market. These Cat5e STP (Twisted Pairs with overall foil Shield) Ethernet patch cables and crossover patch cables are ideal for PLCs, HMIs, drives and other Ethernet devices that support the Ethernet protocol.

Configuration KitConfiguration Kit
The Ethernet Configuration Kit includes a five-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch, four straight-through cables, and one crossover cable. (The cables are at least five feet in length.) This Ethernet kit provides great convenience for configuring Ethernet systems, creating demonstration systems or setting up basic control projects using Ethernet.
