NEW! ... Stride™ Unmanaged Ethernet Switches

Stride Ethernet Switches are specifically built for industrial environments. A Stride Slim Line Industrial Ethernet Switch reduces the number of collisions that slow down a network. Stride Ethernet Switches automatically determine and remember the devices connected to each port and routes messages only through the appropriate ports.

STRIDE™ Unmanaged Ethernet Switches and Media Converters

Stride is the NEW line of Industrial Grade Unmanaged Ethernet Switches and Media Converters from AutomationDirect:

• Designed with our PLC, HMI and Drive customers in mind
