Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, supporting essential switching features like IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and spanning tree protocol for network stability and management. The six Fast Ethernet ports deliver data transfer speeds up to 100 Mbps per port, suitable for connecting PCs, printers, cameras, and other industrial peripherals.
It uses cost-effective twisted pair cabling (Cat5e or better) with a maximum reach of 100 meters per connection. The switch does not provide Power over Ethernet (PoE), so connected devices require separate power sources. The 24 VDC power input offers low-voltage operation, reducing electrical hazards in industrial settings.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Port/Expansion Slot Details, Media Type Supported, Ethernet Technology. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
This switch excels in edge networking scenarios where equipment must operate reliably far from data centers or network closets. Its six-port configuration is ideal for small to medium-sized work cells, remote monitoring stations, or distributed control points that require local network aggregation.
The TAA compliance and U.S. origin make it suitable for government and defense applications with sourcing requirements. The environmentally friendly design and three-year warranty provide additional value for organizations with sustainability goals and long-term deployment plans.
Industrial Automation
Connect PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and control systems on factory floors where reliability and durability are critical. The switch's rugged design withstands electrical noise, temperature fluctuations, and physical vibrations common in manufacturing environments.
Transportation Infrastructure
Deploy in traffic control systems, railway signaling, or airport operations where 24 VDC power is standard and environmental conditions demand robust hardware. The rail mounting option simplifies installation in control cabinets and equipment racks.
Physical Profile
Measuring just 3.60" high, 3" wide, and 1.70" deep, the LBH600A-P-24 occupies minimal space in equipment racks or control panels. The compact dimensions allow installation in tight spaces where larger switches won't fit, while the 12.8-ounce weight makes handling and mounting straightforward.
The switch features a standard industrial finish with mounting ears for rack installation and grooves for DIN rail attachment. All ports and indicators are front-accessible for easy monitoring and cable management in crowded enclosures.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The Black Box LBH600A-P-24 provides six Fast Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to six network devices such as computers, printers, IP cameras, or industrial controllers. Each port operates independently at speeds up to 100 Mbps, creating a local network segment for small workgroups or edge locations.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not provide Power over Ethernet. The six RJ-45 ports deliver data connectivity only, so connected devices require their own power sources. This is common in industrial switches where DC-powered devices already have dedicated power supplies, and PoE isn't necessary for the application.
What mounting options are available for this switch?
The switch supports both rail mounting and rack mounting. It includes a 24-VDC panel mount kit for DIN rail installation in industrial control panels, and it features standard rack ears for mounting in 19-inch equipment racks. The compact size (3.60" H x 3" W x 1.70" D) makes it suitable for space-constrained installations.
What type of cables does this switch require?
This switch uses standard twisted pair Ethernet cables (Category 5e or higher) with RJ-45 connectors. It supports 10/100Base-TX networking over copper cabling with a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet) per connection. The twisted pair media is cost-effective and widely available for industrial and office environments.
What is the power requirement for this switch?
The switch requires 24 VDC power input, which is common in industrial and transportation applications where DC power sources are readily available. This low-voltage operation enhances safety in harsh environments and allows integration with existing DC power systems without needing AC-to-DC converters.
What warranty comes with this switch?
Black Box provides a 3-year limited warranty for the LBH600A-P-24 switch, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The switch is also TAA compliant and manufactured in the United States, meeting sourcing requirements for government and institutional purchases that demand domestic production.
