• Connecting IP cameras and surveillance systems
• Linking PLCs, HMIs and industrial controllers
• Small to medium automation and machine-to-machine networks
• Workstations and office devices in harsh-environment sites

Key specifications

• Ports: 8 × RJ-45 copper ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps
• Operation: Unmanaged switch — plug and play
• Data transfer: Full-duplex Gigabit on each port
• Use case: Designed for industrial and harsh-environment applications
• Device compatibility: Standard Ethernet endpoints such as PCs, IP cameras and PLCs

How to use

Install the switch on a suitable DIN rail or surface according to site requirements, ensuring proper ventilation and compliance with local installation standards. Connect power according to the manufacturer’s instructions and attach devices to the RJ-45 ports using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables rated for Gigabit Ethernet. The switch operates without configuration; connected devices will automatically negotiate link speed and duplex. For uninterrupted operation, verify power supply stability and use appropriate cable lengths and quality to maintain Gigabit performance.

Usage recommendations

Place the switch in a location protected from excessive dust, moisture and extreme temperatures, and separate it from high-interference equipment. Use CAT5e or better cabling for Gigabit performance and consider a redundant power arrangement where continuous uptime is critical.
