Allen-Bradley 1783-US8T Stratix 2000 Switch | 8-Port, 10/100 Mbps, DIN Rail, IP30 Specs

Allen-Bradley 1783-US8T Stratix 2000 managed Ethernet switch specifications. 8-port 10/100 Mbps, DIN rail mount, IP30 protection, 24V DC. For industrial network infrastructure.

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1783-US8T​ is an 8-port managed Ethernet switch​ from the Stratix 2000 series, designed for industrial network infrastructure applications. This switch provides 8 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports​ with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, managed switching capabilities, and operates on 24V DC power. The "1783" designation indicates the Stratix switch series, "US8T" specifies the 8-port managed switch configuration. This compact, DIN-rail mounted switch enables reliable Ethernet network connectivity for industrial automation systems with advanced management features for network optimization and security.

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are based on Allen-Bradley Stratix 2000 series technical documentation. The "1783-US8T" model specifically indicates 8-port managed switch configuration. Actual specifications may vary slightly depending on production batch.

Model Number Decoding (1783-US8T)

• 1783:​ Series designation (Stratix switch series)

• US8T:​ Model specification (US = unmanaged/managed switch, 8 = 8 ports, T = 10/100Base-TX)

Note:​ The "US8T" designation breaks down as: U = unmanaged/managed switch category, S8 = 8-port configuration, T = twisted pair copper ports. Despite the "U" prefix, this is actually a managed switch with advanced features. The "T" indicates standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports.

Important Technical Notes

1. Power Requirements:​ Accepts either 24V DC (18-32V) or 100-240V AC (85-264V). Do not apply both power sources simultaneously.

2. Network Design:​ Consider network topology, redundancy requirements, and traffic patterns when designing network architecture.

3. Mounting:​ Install on 35mm DIN rail with proper clearance for ventilation and cable management.

4. Cabling:​ Use industrial-grade Ethernet cable (minimum Cat5e) with proper shielding for industrial environments.

5. Configuration:​ Initial configuration via web interface. Set IP address, subnet mask, and gateway before network deployment.

6. Redundancy:​ Configure appropriate redundancy protocol (DLR, RSTP, PRP) based on network criticality and architecture.

7. Security:​ Implement network security features (802.1X, port security) for protected industrial networks.

8. Environmental Conditions:​ Install in appropriate enclosure for additional protection. IP30 provides limited protection against dust and moisture.

9. Maintenance:​ Monitor switch status via management interface. Keep firmware updated for security and feature enhancements.

Note: For complete installation guidelines, wiring diagrams, configuration instructions, and detailed technical data, consult the official Allen-Bradley Stratix 2000 Series Technical Manual. Always verify the exact model number configuration with the manufacturer, as notation variations may occur.
