At TCI Supply, we offer a wide range of industrial and commercial switches designed for reliability and performance in demanding environments.  With various types and configurations available, our switches can meet the needs of any industrial application, from simple control tasks to complex system integrations.

Allen-Bradley 1783 switches are industrial Ethernet switches used for high-performance network solutions, particularly in automation and control systems. These managed switches support features like VLAN, QoS, and redundancy protocols, ensuring reliable communication for industrial applications.

The Siemens Simatic version, such as the SCALANCE series, offers similar functionalities with managed and unmanaged options, supporting Industrial Ethernet, PROFINET, and other protocols. Both brands focus on robust, scalable solutions to handle complex industrial networks, emphasizing performance and security for factory automation.

Industrial and Commercial Switches FAQ

What is the switching capacity and life expectancy of your industrial & commercial switches?

Our switches feature high switching capacities and are designed for long-term use, with life expectancies that meet industry standards. Specific details can be found in the product specifications.  Switches by Allen Bradley, GE, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Siemens, ABB, and many more.  Generally built to last 10 to 15 years, their longevity can be affected by factors such as environmental conditions, load, and maintenance practices.

How do your industrial & commercial switches handle vibration and shock in industrial environments?

Our switches are engineered to withstand significant vibration and shock, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh industrial conditions.  They are tested to handle mechanical vibrations often found in industrial settings, typically in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6 standards, which ensure they can withstand vibration levels in the range of 2g to 5g.  They are also built to meet IEC 60068-2-27 standards for shock, which means they can handle shock levels up to 15g to 30g or more, ensuring stability and functionality during sudden impacts or mechanical shocks.

Do you provide technical support and assistance with industrial & commercial switch selection?

Yes, we offer comprehensive technical support to help you select the right switch for your specific application needs.

Do you provide technical support for the installation of industrial & commercial switches?

We provide installation support to ensure that your switches are properly installed and integrated into your systems.  We also offer free access to all industrial guides, specification sheets, product manuals, and other .pdfs

Can your industrial & commercial switches be integrated with existing systems?

Our switches are designed for easy integration with existing systems, providing seamless operation within your current setup.

Stratix switches can easily integrate with existing systems, supporting industrial protocols like EtherNet/IP and PROFINET.  Features like VLAN, QoS, and redundancy protocols (e.g., Device Level Ring) ensure reliable communication and enhanced network performance. Their flexibility allows integration into diverse industrial architectures without disrupting operations, ensuring scalability and network security.
