Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the 1783-BMS10CGL is unavailable or requires a cost-effective alternative, the following models offer compatible functionality. Always verify firmware, port count, and protocol support before substitution.
- 1783-BMS10CA — Same STRATIX 5700 family, 8 copper + 2 SFP, without conformal coating; direct functional equivalent for non-harsh environments.
- 1783-BMS10CGL (Refurbished) — OEM-identical hardware, tested and certified; ideal for budget-sensitive projects.
- 1783-BMS20CL — 20-port variant; suitable when port expansion is required in the same control cabinet.
- Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-L — Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 series; compatible IOS base, similar Layer 2 feature set; requires Rockwell integration validation.
- Hirschmann RS20-0800T1T1SDAEHH — European alternative; supports PROFINET and EtherNet/IP; verify VLAN and REP protocol compatibility.
- Moxa EDS-510A-3SFP — 10-port managed switch with SFP uplinks; suitable for non-Rockwell architectures requiring similar port topology.
⚠ Note: Third-party replacements may require additional configuration. Consult your system integrator or contact Konmask.com for pre-validated substitution advice.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Native Rockwell Integration: Seamlessly managed via Studio 5000, FactoryTalk Network Manager, and RSLinx — no third-party middleware required.
- REP Protocol Support: Rockwell’s proprietary Resilient Ethernet Protocol delivers sub-50 ms ring recovery, critical for real-time control loops.
- Conformal Coating (CGL suffix): Factory-applied coating protects against moisture, dust, and chemical exposure — essential for harsh plant environments.
- Long Product Lifecycle: Rockwell Automation provides extended support and firmware updates for STRATIX 5700 series through its lifecycle management program.
- Certified for Hazardous Locations: ATEX Zone 2 certification supports deployment in areas with explosive atmospheres.

Selection Guide
Use the criteria below to confirm the 1783-BMS10CGL is the right fit — or identify the correct variant:
- Port Count: Need 10 ports (8 copper + 2 fiber)? → 1783-BMS10CGL ✓ | Need more? → Consider 1783-BMS20CL
- Environment: Harsh/humid/chemical exposure? → CGL (conformal coat) suffix required ✓ | Clean room only? → 1783-BMS10CA may suffice
- Redundancy: Ring topology with <50 ms recovery? → REP supported ✓ | Linear topology only? → RSTP sufficient
- Power Input: 24 VDC panel available? → Direct fit ✓ | 110/220 VAC only? → Add 24 VDC PSU (e.g., 1606-XLP95E)
- Fiber Uplink: Multimode fiber (≤550 m)? → Use 1783-SFP1GSX | Single-mode fiber (>550 m)? → Use 1783-SFP1GLX
- Budget: New OEM required? → Order 1783-BMS10CGL | Refurbished acceptable? → Contact Konmask for certified refurb stock

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
- Q: Can I replace 1783-BMS10CGL with 1783-BMS10CA?
- A: Yes, functionally equivalent. The CA variant lacks conformal coating — only suitable for clean, dry environments.
- Q: Is the 1783-BMS10CGL compatible with non-Rockwell PLCs?
- A: Yes. It supports standard Ethernet protocols (Modbus TCP, SNMP, IGMP) and can operate in mixed-vendor networks, though advanced features like REP and EtherNet/IP diagnostics require Rockwell infrastructure.
- Q: What SFP modules are compatible with the fiber uplink ports?
- A: Rockwell-branded 1783-SFP1GSX (multimode) and 1783-SFP1GLX (single-mode) are recommended. Standard Cisco GLC-SX-MMD modules are also compatible.
- Q: Does this switch support PROFINET?
- A: Not natively. A protocol gateway (e.g., HMS Anybus) is required to bridge EtherNet/IP and PROFINET networks.
- Q: Can I use this switch in a ring topology?
- A: Yes. The 1783-BMS10CGL supports REP (Rockwell proprietary) and RSTP for ring redundancy with fast failover.
- Q: Is a refurbished unit a safe choice for production?
- A: Konmask-certified refurbished units are fully tested and carry a 90-day warranty. For safety-critical applications, new OEM units are recommended.
