AutomationDirect: STRIDE PRO Unmanaged+ Ethernet Switches
March 10, 2026
STRIDE PRO Unmanaged+ industrial Ethernet switches are a step up from basic unmanaged switches, adding efficient network optimization with IGMP snooping (traffic prioritization), port monitoring, port alarms, VLAN support, and more.
IGMP snooping ends network flooding by transmitting data only to the specific devices requiring it. Port mirroring takes a view of your network and sends a copy of all the traffic from a selected port to a monitor port, which can be used for diagnostics. The port alarm feature watches for cable connections and sends an alarm signal anytime the Ethernet port connection status changes, an unauthorized device is connected, or an authorized device goes offline. This signal can be used to activate an audio and/or visual signaling device to notify personnel. STRIDE PRO models include PoE, PoE+, and Gigabit Ethernet options with up to 12 ports.
Also added is a STRIDE industrial unmanaged switch with (8) IP67 10/100Base-T M12 Ethernet ports, USB A and USB C adapter cables with 9-pin D-sub male connectors for RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial connections, and a DIN rail mounting bracket for STRIDE PRO switches.
STRIDE PRO Unmanaged+ switches start at $106.00 (SEP1-SW5U), the STRIDE IP67 unmanaged switch is priced at $449.00 (SE3-SW8U-N67-T).
