Ethernet switch MOXA PET-7066 CR 6-port with DIN-rail mount (MPN 50254)

MOXA PET-7066 CR is a compact industrial 6-port Ethernet switch designed for DIN-rail mounting to save space in cabinets and racks. The unit provides six Ethernet ports in a rugged housing suitable for automation environments, enabling stable data communication between controllers, I/O modules, HMIs and other networked equipment. Its compact footprint and industrial design make it practical for installations where reliable wired connectivity is required in confined or engineered spaces.

Advantages

The device offers six Ethernet ports in a small DIN-rail mountable form factor that simplifies installation inside control cabinets. Built for industrial use, the switch provides a durable enclosure and predictable network behavior for machine and building automation networks. Its straightforward feature set focuses on reliable layer‑2 switching functions and easy integration with existing industrial Ethernet layouts.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation networks and PLC connectivity
• Control cabinets and machine enclosures with limited space
• Building management systems and access control networks
• Remote I/O and HMI device aggregation
• Edge network segments requiring simple, reliable switching

Key specifications

• Form factor: DIN-rail mountable industrial switch
• Ports: six 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
• Switching function: Layer‑2 Ethernet switching
• Housing: rugged industrial enclosure suitable for cabinet installations
• Power input: industrial DC power input (designed for typical control-cabinet power sources)
• Operating environment: designed for industrial temperature ranges and vibration conditions

How to use

Install the switch on a DIN-rail inside the control cabinet or enclosure, secure power to the device from the cabinet's DC power source according to system wiring practices, and connect Ethernet devices using standard RJ45 patch cables. Configure network endpoints and any upstream switches or routers to match the desired IP addressing and VLAN segmentation. The switch operates transparently as a layer‑2 device to forward Ethernet frames between connected devices without requiring advanced configuration for basic network connectivity.

Usage recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated area of the cabinet away from direct heat sources, ensure power wiring follows local electrical standards, and group related devices to minimize cable lengths. For networks requiring traffic management or security policies, pair this switch with managed network devices or external controllers to implement VLANs, QoS, or access control.
