Product Features
Technical Overview
The IDS-108GE operates as a Layer 2 switch, supporting essential networking standards such as IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3az, and 802.1p for QoS prioritization. All eight ports are RJ-45 connectors that support twisted pair cabling, with each port capable of Gigabit Ethernet speeds for high-throughput data transfer.
Power is supplied via a terminal block connector that accepts 9 V DC or 55 V DC input, offering flexibility in power sourcing. The switch includes reverse polarity protection to safeguard against incorrect wiring, and its fanless design eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing reliability in dusty or vibration-prone settings.

User Manual
FAQ
How many ports does the Perle IDS-108GE switch have?
The Perle IDS-108GE provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports. All ports are RJ-45 connectors that support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds over twisted pair cabling, making it suitable for connecting multiple devices in industrial or small office networks.
Is this switch manageable?
No, the IDS-108GE is an unmanaged switch. It operates as a plug-and-play device with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX features, requiring no configuration. This simplifies deployment in environments where basic connectivity without advanced management is sufficient.
What power input options are supported?
The switch accepts dual power input via a terminal block connector, supporting 9 V DC or 55 V DC. This flexibility allows it to integrate with various power sources commonly found in industrial settings. It also includes reverse polarity protection to prevent damage from incorrect wiring.
Can this switch be mounted on a DIN rail?
Yes, the IDS-108GE is designed for DIN rail mounting. Its compact metal housing includes mounting hardware for secure installation in standard industrial racks or control panels, making it ideal for space-constrained environments like factory floors or electrical enclosures.
What is the operating temperature range?
This switch operates reliably in temperatures from -40 to 75°C. Its fanless design and robust construction ensure performance in harsh conditions, such as outdoor installations or industrial facilities where temperature fluctuations are common.
Does the switch support Quality of Service (QoS)?
Yes, the IDS-108GE supports QoS through IEEE 802.1p prioritization. This allows critical network traffic, like control signals or video data, to be prioritized over less time-sensitive data, improving performance in mixed-use industrial networks.
