Product Highlights
Features and Benefits
Unmanaged Switches
Helps prevent network congestion
using traffic flow control and data speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps to ensure reliable high-speed operation.
Delivers reliable operation in harsh environments including on-machine installation
due to available IP67-rated protection for resistance to extreme temperatures, moisture, low-pressure washes or water submersion.
Streamlines system infrastructure upgrades for industrial automation networks
through quick and secure data exchange using EtherNet/IP or PROFINET protocols.
Accelerates and simplifies installation
by using “plug and play” setup features that minimize downtime and eliminate the need for specialized software and configurations.
Provides wide-ranging network management flexibility for a broad range of applications
with 10/100/1,000 Mbps Ethernet full wire-speed, non-blocking, auto-sensing, auto-crossing and auto-negotiation capabilities.
Managed Switches
Provides high degree of flexibility for managing traffic priorities
by using customizable communication parameters for application-specific functionality.
Simplifies diagnostics to identify problems quickly
using easily accessed dashboard and network monitoring capabilities.
Can be used in harsh environments and extreme temperature ranges
including IP20-rated resistance to dust and moisture and operating temperatures from -10 to +60°C.
Offers excellent performance for complex and high-speed industrial networks
with data rates up to 1,000 Mbps.
Allows for simple upgrades of existing networks
using EtherNet/IP and PROFINET industrial protocols.
PoE Switches
Simplifies networking for camera and monitoring systems
by combining power and data transmission into a single easy-to-use, plug-and-play switch.
Provides high power for distributed PoE network devices
with up to 30W per port available for PoE+ compliant devices, enabling a network of devices to be powered without installing dedicated power outlets.
Delivers reliable performance in challenging conditions
thanks to a rugged IP30-rated metal case able to withstand operating temperatures from -10 to +60°C and features surge protection to protect network devices.
Enables use with voltage as low as 24V DC for greater availability
by using the Power Booster system, which supports networks without the available 48V DC power that is necessary for most PoE systems.
Overview
Customers want flexible, customizable and fully transparent network functionality using EtherNet/IP or PROFINET protocols to support topology and prioritization. Industrial Ethernet Switches enable a wide range of network configurations and monitoring.
Customers need network connectivity solutions that will operate reliably in the harsh conditions found on the factory floor, including wide temperature swings, dust and moisture. Industrial Ethernet Switches are IP20- or IP67-rated, built ruggedly to withstand challenging environments and operate dependably in a variety of harsh condition (temperatures, vibrations).
Customers want an Ethernet switch that can be used in a variety of locations for improved flexibility and simplified sourcing. Industrial Ethernet Switches are cabinet or machine mountable, have a compact footprint, and offer a metal shell housing for DIN rail or screw setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of managed vs. unmanaged Ethernet switches?
Unmanaged Ethernet switches are simple “plug and play” switches that enable connectivity for small-to-medium-sized networks by providing fast and easy setup. Unmanaged switches require no training or expertise to install and enable basic network control at a lower price. Managed Ethernet switches enable a high degree of customization, including custom network configurations, extensive monitoring capabilities, and the ability to control larger and more complex networks. The setup of managed Ethernet switches is more skilled work when a specific configuration is required to secure and tune the network to its usage.
How do Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switches simplify industrial network design?
A switch with PoE capabilities permits the user to connect devices, such as cameras, with a single cable transporting both power and Ethernet signals. This single-cable architecture reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs for the overall system.
