In the dynamic field of industrial automation, scalability, efficiency, and dependability are critical. Presenting the state-of-the-art solution tailored to meet the unique requirements of industrial environments
The Stratix 2000 16T Port Unmanaged Switch. With its unmatched performance, smooth integration capabilities, and extensive feature set, this switch has the potential to completely transform industrial networking. We’ll go over the many advantages that the Stratix 2000 offers in this blog article, helping companies to improve productivity, streamline processes, and maintain their competitive edge in the market.
1.Automatic Negotiation:
The speed and duplex parameters of these switches may be automatically negotiated, simplifying and improving setup times.
When two devices computers or switches are linked by an Ethernet connection, they must agree on specific communication settings. Among these criteria are:
- Speed: The data transfer rate (measured in megabits per second, Mbps).
- Duplex Mode: Whether communication is full-duplex (both devices can send and receive simultaneously)
- When devices are connected, they exchange signals to determine their capabilities.
- They negotiate and agree upon the highest common speed and duplex mode.
- Once negotiated, the devices configure themselves accordingly.
2.Flexible Power Options:
The Stratix 2000 switches offer a flexible power supply since they can run on either 20V AC or 24V DC power.
- Dual Power Sources: These switches are capable of running on 24V DC or 20V AC power. Because of their dual compatibility, you may choose whichever power source best meets the needs of your particular application.
- Redundancy and Reliability: Having two sources of electricity enables redundancy. The switch’s ability to smoothly transfer to a backup power source in the event of one failing reduces downtime and guarantees uninterrupted network functioning. In critical systems, where continuous communication is vital, redundancy is necessary.
- Integration with Existing Infrastructure: Because the Stratix 2000 switches can run on either AC or DC power, you can easily incorporate them into your current power infrastructure without requiring any significant changes. These switches work well with either AC or DC power sources in your business.
- Field Flexibility: With both AC and DC choices, switches may be configured to adjust to the power source that is available, even in distant or field locations where power availability may fluctuate. Its adaptability makes maintenance and deployment easier.
- Cost-Effective Solutions: These switches avoid the need for extra converters or adapters by tolerating various power sources. Budget-conscious enterprises and small-scale installations benefit from this economical method.

3.Cable Cross-Over Detection:
One feature that makes cable hookups easier is automated cable cross-over detection.
- This functionality allows switches to recognise the kind of cable that is attached to each port automatically.
- Upon plugging in a cable, the switch analyses the signal to identify if it is a cross-over or straight-through cable.
- The switch modifies its internal circuitry to enable correct communication in response to this detection.
- Nowadays, most connections employ straight-through cables because of the introduction of new switches (where TX and RX pairs stay constant at both ends).
- Still, there are situations in which cross-over cables may be required to link equipment directly (e.g., connecting two switches or two PCs).
4.Space-Saving Design:
These switches optimise cabinet space with a lower footprint, which is important in industrial settings.
- Compact Footprint: These switches are designed to take up as little room as possible in control cabinets. Their lower footprint makes it possible to make effective use of the enclosing real estate that is available.
- Optimized Layouts: Every square inch counts in packed junction boxes or control panels. The Stratix 2000 switches are made to nestle comfortably next to other parts including relays, power supplies, and PLCs.
- Panel Aesthetics: Control panels that are neat and well-organized facilitate troubleshooting and maintenance. Selecting space-saving switches helps you keep your area looking tidy and uncluttered.
- Easy Installation: Larger switches are difficult to manoeuvre in confined spaces. The Stratix 2000’s small size makes cable routing and installation easier.
- Scalability: Space-efficient switches guarantee that you may add additional devices without overcrowding the cabinet in the event that your network needs to grow.
6.Enhanced Environmental Ratings:
The switches are appropriate for industrial applications and come in a sturdy metal case with IP20 to IP30 environmental standards.
- Extended Temperature Range: Improved environmental rated switches can function across a larger temperature range, which makes them appropriate for use in more hostile settings with frequent temperature swings.
- Increased Shock and Vibration Resistance: For deployments in industrial settings, production floors, or transportation applications where equipment may be subjected to physical stress, these switches’ increased shock and vibration resistance is essential.
- Improved Dust and Particle Resistance: Better protection against dust, dirt, and other particles that may harm the switch’s internal components is a common feature of enhanced environmental ratings, guaranteeing dependable performance even in unclean or dusty conditions.
The Stratix 2000 16T Port Unmanaged Switch is advantageous overall because it is easy to use, reasonably priced, dependable, and suitable for basic networking requirements without the hassles of managed switches.
