Industrial Ethernet Switches

STRIDE and WAGO Ethernet switches are specifically built for industrial environments and can withstand extreme conditions including applications where temperatures can range from freezing to sweltering heat. These switches also offer superior EMC performance, corrosion-resistance, a rugged metal or plastic housing, and various mounting options.

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

Certain STRIDE Ethernet switch models are available with fiber optic connections options. 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 problems caused by electrical interference. Also, your network distance is greatly increased when using fiber optic cabling.

Select WAGO lean managed switch models are available with MAC Security (MACsec), a real-time encryption at line speed through hardware-based "Media Access Control Security" encryption (IEEE 802.1 AE, MACsec)
