Unmanaged Switch Moxa EtherDevice™ EDS-505A Multi Mode SC Connector x 2

The Moxa EtherDevice™ EDS-505A is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch with five 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports and two multi-mode SC fiber connectors. Designed for reliable data transmission in industrial environments, the EDS-505A supports rugged mounting options, wide operating temperature models, redundant dual DC power inputs, and long-distance fiber links up to 40 km. The switch provides plug-and-play operation and durable IP30 housing for installation on DIN-rail or a panel.

Advantages

The EDS-505A combines simple deployment with features that support industrial use: robust mechanical design (IP30), redundant power inputs for increased availability, long-haul multi-mode SC fiber connectivity, and wide temperature operation options. Although unmanaged, the switch is built to withstand harsh environments and provides reliable physical-layer connectivity for critical systems.

Suitable for

• Basic industrial or factory Ethernet networks requiring fiber uplink
• Extending network links over medium distances (multi-mode SC, up to 40 km with suitable transceivers)
• Machine-to-machine or device-to-device connectivity where managed switch features are not required

Key specifications

• Ports: 5 × 10/100Base-TX RJ-45
• Fiber: 2 × Multi-mode SC connectors
• Operation: Unmanaged switch (plug-and-play)
• Power: Redundant dual DC inputs (model dependent)
• Housing: IP30, DIN-rail or panel mount
• Operating temperature: Regular and extended models available (regular 0 to 60°C; extended -40 to 75°C)
• Brand / MPN / EAN: MOXA / 41781M / 5703431417816

How to use

Install the EDS-505A on a DIN-rail or mount it on a panel, connect DC power to the redundant power terminals, and link devices to the RJ-45 ports or SC fiber ports using appropriate cables. The switch is unmanaged, so it requires no configuration—connected devices will communicate automatically at the supported link speeds. For fiber links, ensure multi-mode SC transceivers and fiber cabling meet the required specifications and distances.

Usage recommendations

The EDS-505A is intended for applications that need simple, reliable physical connectivity with fiber uplinks. Choose the extended-temperature model for outdoor or harsh-environment installations, use redundant power sources for higher availability, and verify compatible multi-mode fiber and transceivers for the desired link distance.
