Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch delivers Gigabit Ethernet performance across all ports, with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX for plug-and-play connectivity. The two SFP slots accept Gigabit fiber modules, enabling backbone connections up to 10 km with 1000Base-LX or shorter distances with other SFP types. Layer 3 switching supports static routing and RIPv1/v2, allowing inter-VLAN routing and efficient traffic management in segmented networks.
Management features include comprehensive IEEE standards compliance, such as IEEE 802.1Q for VLANs, IEEE 802.1w for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and IEEE 802.3ad for link aggregation. Advanced protocols like IGMP snooping, LLDP-MED, and GVRP optimize multicast and device discovery. Security is enforced through IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication, TACACS+, RADIUS, SSH, SNMPv3, and HTTPS for encrypted access.

Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is engineered for industrial and commercial settings where reliability, management, and environmental tolerance are paramount. Its combination of copper, fiber, and Layer 3 capabilities addresses diverse connectivity needs.
In manufacturing plants, it connects PLCs, HMIs, and sensors over PROFINET and Modbus TCP, with rugged mounting and wide temperature tolerance. For telecommunications, the SFP uplinks and VLAN support segment traffic between access and core networks. Building automation systems benefit from its PoE-ready design (when used with PoE injectors) and security features for IoT device integration.
Industrial Automation
Connects machinery and control systems with PROFINET and Modbus TCP support, fanless operation for dusty environments, and DIN rail mounting in control cabinets.
Network Edge Aggregation
Aggregates traffic from multiple devices with Layer 3 routing, fiber uplinks for backbone connectivity, and advanced QoS for voice and video prioritization.
Physical Profile
The switch features a compact metal enclosure measuring 3.66" H x 1.77" W x 4.29" D (93 x 45 x 109 mm) and weighing 12.35 oz (350 g). Its solid construction dissipates heat passively without fans, reducing failure points and noise. Multiple mounting options include DIN rail (with included attachment), wall, or panel, allowing installation in tight spaces like electrical enclosures or server racks. The terminal block power connector accepts 9.6–60 V DC input, compatible with industrial power supplies.
