Product Overview
This managed Industrial Ethernet switch provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for robust network connectivity. It offers two additional SFP slots for fiber-optic uplinks over longer distances. The switch measures 75 mm in width, 135 mm in height, and 115 mm in depth. Its compact metal housing weighs approximately 650 grams for flexible DIN rail mounting. You can install this device in control cabinets with limited available space. The switch supports redundant ring topologies with a recovery time under 300 milliseconds.
This device manages network traffic using VLAN, QoS, and IGMP snooping protocols. It also features port mirroring and SNMP for comprehensive network diagnostics. The switch operates on a 24 V DC supply with a typical current draw of 350 mA. You can configure the device through a web-based interface or command-line console. The switch’s fanless design ensures silent operation in office environments.

Key Features and Benefits
This switch delivers reliable data transmission in harsh temperature environments. Its SFP slots provide flexibility for connecting remote switch cabinets via fiber. The ring redundancy feature ensures uninterrupted operation even during a cable break. You can monitor network performance through the integrated SNMP agent. The compact footprint conserves valuable space in densely populated panels.
Installation and Configuration
You clip the switch onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside the control cabinet. Connect the power supply and network cables to the appropriate ports. Access the web interface using the switch’s default IP address. You then configure VLANs, ports, and redundancy settings according to your needs. For advanced management, you can access the CLI via a console cable. The configuration persists after a power cycle without any additional steps.
Typical Applications
Automotive plants use this switch to connect PLCs across large production areas. Logistics centers rely on it for warehouse control system networks. The switch also serves in power generation and water treatment facilities.
