Product Features
Technical Overview
This Layer 2 managed switch offers comprehensive network control through Web GUI, SSH, and Telnet interfaces, supporting advanced features including VLAN tagging (802.1Q), Quality of Service (802.1p), Link Aggregation (802.3ad), and Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1D/w/s). The 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation ensures optimal connection speeds with existing network infrastructure.
Power flexibility is a key technical advantage, with dual input options: hardwired terminal block connection for 48-56VDC power or Type-M barrel plug for 12-48V DC. This redundancy supports various industrial power setups and enhances deployment reliability. The switch maintains Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) exceeding 100,000 hours at 25°C, backed by rigorous testing for 6kV ESD protection, vibration resistance, and shock/free-fall durability.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Network (RJ-45), Port/Expansion Slot Details, Media Type Supported. 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 industrial switch serves as the network foundation for environments where commercial-grade equipment cannot withstand operational stresses. Its combination of PoE power, managed features, and rugged construction makes it ideal for distributed deployments requiring both connectivity and device power.
In manufacturing and industrial automation settings, the switch connects and powers machine vision systems, PLCs, HMI panels, and environmental sensors while withstanding electrical noise, temperature fluctuations, and physical vibration. For transportation and infrastructure applications, it provides network access for surveillance cameras, passenger information displays, and communication equipment in buses, trains, stations, and roadside cabinets.
Surveillance & Security
Power and connect up to four high-resolution IP cameras with PTZ capabilities while providing network connectivity for additional cameras or access control systems through the remaining Gigabit ports.
Wireless Network Expansion
Deploy multiple wireless access points in warehouses, outdoor areas, or large facilities with PoE power delivery eliminating the need for separate electrical runs to each AP location.
Physical Profile
The compact 5.30" x 5.80" x 1" footprint minimizes space requirements while the 1.43 lb weight simplifies handling during installation. Steel construction provides durability without excessive bulk, and the front-access port layout ensures easy cable management in confined spaces. Multiple mounting options—wall, DIN rail, or magnetic—accommodate diverse installation scenarios without custom fabrication.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1" (25.40 mm), 5.80" (147.32 mm), 1.43 lb (649.20 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The switch can power up to four PoE/PoE+ devices simultaneously through its dedicated PoE+ ports. Each PoE+ port delivers up to 30W of power, with a total PoE budget of 120W across all four ports. This allows the switch to support high-power devices like PTZ cameras, multi-radio wireless access points, or industrial sensors without requiring external power injectors.
What mounting options are available for this industrial switch?
Three mounting methods are supported: wall mounting using the included screw anchors and hardware, DIN rail mounting with the provided rail and screws, and magnetic mounting using the included magnets. The front-access design ensures ports remain accessible regardless of mounting orientation, and all necessary hardware is included in the package for immediate installation.
What temperature range can this switch operate within?
This industrial switch operates reliably from -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F), making it suitable for extreme environments where commercial switches would fail. This extended temperature range allows deployment in unheated outdoor enclosures, refrigerated facilities, industrial ovens, or other locations with significant temperature variations.
What management features does this Layer 2 switch offer?
