Managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet switch MOXA EDS-G512E-4GSFP-T — 8x RJ-45 10/100/1000, 4x SFP, USB Type-B, 12–48V DC, terminal block, wall-mountable

MOXA EDS-G512E-4GSFP-T is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with eight RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports and four SFP slots for fiber uplinks. The switch supports full-duplex operation, an 8000-entry MAC address table, and console access via a USB Type-B port. It is powered by 12–48 V DC via a 4‑pin terminal block and is designed for wall mounting, making it suitable for industrial and network edge deployments. The device complies with IEEE 802.1D/Q/p/s/w/x and IEEE 802.3 standards and incorporates industrial-grade reliability and security features based on IEC 62443.

Advantages

The EDS-G512E-4GSFP-T delivers a combination of gigabit copper ports and SFP fiber uplinks for flexible network topologies, industrial certifications that support deployment in demanding environments, and managed Layer 2 features for traffic control and redundancy. Compact wall-mountable housing and a wide DC input range support installation at network edges and in constrained spaces while console access via USB Type-B simplifies configuration and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation networks
• Railway wayside and onboard network segments (components with relevant certifications)
• Power substation and utility communications (compatible with IEC 61850-3 certified environments)
• Intelligent transportation systems and traffic control
• Network edge aggregation and fiber uplink integration

How to use

Mount the switch on a secure wall surface using the supplied mounting brackets and connect the DC power source (12–48 V) to the 4‑pin terminal block. Insert SFP modules into the SFP slots for fiber uplinks as required and connect copper devices to the RJ-45 ports. Access the switch for initial setup and management through the USB Type-B console or through the supported Layer 2 management interfaces and protocols. Configure VLANs, redundancy (RSTP/MSTP), QoS, and security settings according to network requirements and the IEEE standards supported by the device.

Usage recommendations

Install the switch in environments that meet the product’s industrial certification requirements, maintain proper grounding, use appropriate SFP modules rated for the deployment environment, and ensure the DC power supply is stable and within the 12–48 V range to preserve reliable operation.
