Stratix 2500 Managed switch

The Stratix® 2500 Lightweight Managed Switch enables network connectivity in applications that need to provide network resiliency, diagnostics, and network security that traditional unmanaged switches cannot meet, helping you increase productivity and network reliability.

The Stratix 2500 is available in 5 and 8 compact 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet copper port versions. Each port has a consistent delivery capability and communication priority to help ensure priority end-to-end delivery of critical communications.

It can be installed in the network in two ways. By default (installed out of the box), network communication can be prioritized and device commissioning time can be shortened. By configuring switches, you can achieve network security, resiliency, and bandwidth optimization that are essential features of today's industrial networks.

Features and Benefits

Source-level integration with Integrated Architecture® systems

• User-defined configuration files for configuration through the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® design environment and FactoryTalk® View faceplates for diagnostics

Lower total cost of ownership
