New Industrial Ethernet switch features scalable managed switching capabilities

Built with the best of Rockwell Automation and Cisco technology, the highly scalable, compact-sized Allen-Bradley Stratix 5700 layer 2 managed industrial Ethernet switch meets a broad range of switching capabilities - from entry level, machine-builder applications through converged or IT-ready integrated user solutions.

Using the world's leading network infrastructure software - Cisco IOS - the Stratix 5700 switch delivers secure integration of business critical services and support from the plant floor to the enterprise. The Stratix 5700 managed switch also simplifies the design and development of machine-level networks through configuration and monitoring tools. These tools help enable easy setup and diagnostics from within the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system - bridging the gap between IT and the automation engineer.



Like the Stratix 8000 family of switches, the Stratix 5700 switch also utilizes Cisco IOS technology. The portfolio contains many popular features that are in use today by IT and controls organisations that deploy standard, unmodified Ethernet, with settings optimised for us in EtherNet/IP applications. Rockwell Automation and Cisco are committed to being the most valuable resource in the industry for helping the manufacturers improve business performance by bridging the technical and cultural gaps between the plant floor and higher-level information systems using EtherNet/IP - the world's leading open industrial Ethernet network.

Key Features:
  • Currently available with 6, 10 and 20 fixed-port configurations
  • Hardware embeds features such as IEEE-1588 time synchronisation, QoS and Resilient Ethernet Protocol
  • Additional software features also help improve network performance and troubleshooting and allow for increased network availability
  • Each base model of the Stratix 5700 switch comes with dual power inputs, input and output alarms, console port, fiber-ready SFP slots, DIN rail mount and operating temperature range of minus 40C to 60C
  • Model options include two gig ports, SD flash car, conformal coating and two different software configurations for a total of 20 different models to best match machine and end-user applications
