Technical Specifications

The 1783-BMS10CGA balances high-speed copper connectivity with flexible fiber uplink options.

Engineering Advantages

• Gigabit Uplink Versatility: Two "Combo" ports allow engineers to choose between copper RJ45 or SFP-based fiber connections. This flexibility enables high-bandwidth backbone links across long distances while maintaining standard copper local connectivity.

• Extreme Climate Resilience: The hardened internal components allow the switch to operate in temperatures as low as -40°C. This eliminates the need for cabinet heaters in outdoor applications or unconditioned field enclosures.

• Cisco IOS Integration: The switch utilizes Cisco technology, allowing IT professionals to manage the industrial network using familiar tools and command-line interfaces (CLI). It bridges the gap between factory floor requirements and corporate security standards.

• Advanced Traffic Management: Integrated firmware supports Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN tagging, and IGMP snooping. These features prioritize critical EtherNet/IP motion and safety traffic over standard data, preventing network jitter and ensuring deterministic control.

FAQs

• What is a "Combo Port" and how do I use it?

  A Combo port consists of one RJ45 port and one SFP slot. You can use either the copper connection or the fiber slot for each port, but you cannot use both simultaneously. This allows you to customize your uplink based on the distance required for the network backbone.

• Does this switch support Device Level Ring (DLR)?

  Yes. The Stratix 5700 managed switches support DLR as a "beacon" or "supervisor" node. This allows the switch to participate in or manage a high-availability ring topology to ensure zero-downtime during a cable break.

• How do I configure the switch if I don't know the IP address?

  You can use the SD card slot for configuration backup/restore or connect directly via the console port. Additionally, the Stratix switches support the "Express Setup" feature, allowing you to initialize the switch through a standard web browser without specialized software.

• What SFP modules are compatible with this switch?

  The 1783-BMS10CGA supports a variety of Allen-Bradley 1783-SFP modules, including both multimode (1783-SFP100M/1783-SFP1GXM) and single-mode (1783-SFP100S/1783-SFP1GXS) options. Always ensure the SFP speed matches the combo port speed settings.
