Features:
- Ten Ethernet ports provide managed connections for industrial network segments.
- Layer 3 operation adds routing to the switch forwarding function.
- A separate alarm relay exposes a configured switch condition to external monitoring.
Port traffic and routed traffic follow the device configuration rather than the power or alarm wiring.
The 18–60 V DC input powers the electronics while Ethernet channels remain communication paths.
Open-style IP20 construction places the environmental boundary at the installed enclosure.
The Allen-Bradley 1783-RMS10T Stratix 8300 Managed Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Separating switching from routed communication
- Port forwarding: Ethernet frames move between the ten managed ports according to the switch configuration.
- Routing role: Layer 3 functions move traffic between configured IP network segments.
- Management plane: Device settings and diagnostics remain separate from ordinary data forwarding.
- Network boundary: Logical segmentation comes from configuration because the Ethernet ports are not individually isolated.
Keeping supply and external status wiring distinct
- Power range: The switch accepts the documented 18 to 60 V DC input.
- Current limit: The power source and conductors are sized for the 2 A maximum input.
- Alarm contact: A separate relay switches up to 1 A at 30 V DC for external indication.
- Signal separation: The alarm circuit reports status and does not carry Ethernet data.
Matching conductors to each connection type
- Ethernet medium: RJ45 network connections use Category 5e or better cable.
- Power conductors: DC power and alarm terminals accept the documented 20–18 AWG range.
- Ground conductor: The grounding connection uses the larger 12–10 AWG conductor range.
- Routing category: Power, alarm and Ethernet conductors follow the published Category 2 routing guidance.
Applying enclosure and mechanical limits
- Temperature: The switch operates from -40 to +60 °C.
- Humidity: The permitted range is 5–95% without condensation.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 open-style construction requires a suitable surrounding enclosure.
- Mechanical stress: The device is rated for 2 g vibration and 20 g operating shock.
