AutomationDirect’s line of Stride Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switches now offers even more connectivity choices for Ethernet applications. The new Stride SE2 series DIN rail mountable switches offer up to 16 ports and include models with Gigabit Ethernet and SFP options; select models are IP65 rated to withstand washdown environments. These Ethernet switches feature a “plug and play” design with no user setup required and immediately start operating once powered up and connected to the network.

Starting at $75.00, SE2 series switches offer a wide operating temperature range and are available with a 12-48 VDC or 18-30 VAC redundant power input, reverse polarity protection, and IP30 metal cases.

Stride Ethernet switches, designed for the industrial environment, survive extreme temperatures, as well as noisy industrial power. Meeting hazardous location requirements (Class I Div. 2), and the IEC60068-2 standard for vibration resilience, the Stride switches provide years of reliable connectivity in applications too tough for commercial grade switches.
