Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS10CA Ethernet Managed Switch

Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS10CA Stratix 5700 Ethernet Managed Switch is a ten-port, industrial-grade managed switch designed for Rockwell Automation networks. It combines eight 10/100 Mbps copper ports with two combo ports that accept either copper RJ-45 modules or small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber modules, giving flexible uplink options for on-site backbone connections. The copper ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and follow IEC 60603-7 with cabling rated Category 5e or higher (TIA-568-B.1). The device is built for DIN-rail mounting in harsh industrial environments and provides two power source connectors for redundancy, operating from a 12–60 V DC power input range (commonly 24/48 V in industrial installations). As part of the Stratix 5700 family, the 1783-BMS10CA ships with full firmware to support managed switching capabilities across the 10 ports. This switch is intended for applications requiring reliable, configurable Ethernet connectivity at the edge and in automation networks, such as device aggregation, small-to-medium field networks, and integration with control systems where robust, field-level Ethernet is essential.
