Stratix

The Stratix family (Bulletin 1783) is Allen-Bradley's full portfolio of industrial Ethernet switches, routers, and network infrastructure devices, spanning unmanaged edge switches through managed Layer 3 switches, wireless access points, remote access routers, and security appliances. The catalog number breaks down as follows: the family code immediately after the bulletin prefix identifies the sub-family — for example, USP = Stratix 2100 unmanaged, BMS = Stratix 5700 managed, IMS = Stratix 5410 rack-mount, and RA = Stratix 4300 remote access router. The digits that follow indicate total port count (5, 8, 10, 16, 28, etc.), while port-type codes such as T (copper RJ45), F (multimode fiber SFP), and G (Gigabit) define the physical interface mix. Trailing suffixes add feature context: P denotes PoE (802.3af/at), NK or K indicates conformal coating, and firmware tier codes (CL/CA for Lite, CGL/CGA for full DLR + CIP Sync, CGR for Layer 3 routing) appear at the end. Popular in-stock examples include the 1783-USP8T (Stratix 2100, 8-port copper unmanaged), the 1783-IMS28NAC (Stratix 5410, 28-port rack-mount with AC supply), and the 1783-RA2TGB (Stratix 4300 VPN remote access router). Full port configurations and power specifications are detailed in the Stratix Switches Technical Data (1783-TD001).
