ENTERASYS A2H254-16 P0973BK Industrial Ethernet Switch Module
This rugged 1U rackmount switch serves as backbone connectivity for industrial networks requiring high availability and performance. With 16 Gigabit ports and dual 10G uplinks, it handles bandwidth-intensive tasks like real-time automation control, facility-wide surveillance systems, and critical infrastructure monitoring. The fanless design and extended temperature tolerance (-40°C to +75°C) make it particularly suited for harsh environments where reliability matters most.

Real-World Applications
We’ve deployed this switch in environments ranging from oil rig control systems to smart grid monitoring networks. Its hardware VLAN support and QoS features work well for segregating SCADA traffic from general network use. The stacking capability proves particularly valuable when expanding existing installations without replacing entire switch infrastructures.
Customers commonly pair this with legacy systems like:
- Rockwell Allen Bradley 1756 controllers
- Honeywell DCS I/O modules
- Siemens S7-400H redundancy systems
Our Value Proposition
While Enterasys has been discontinued, we maintain stock of both new and tested units with full 1-year warranty. Our engineers can help integrate these switches into modern control systems using protocols like PROFINET, Modbus TCP, or Ethernet/IP. We’ve helped customers like a Midwest chemical plant reduce downtime by 40% through strategic switch placement and network optimization.
