SWITCH 4xGE, 1xSFP EKI-2725F-AE

Gigabit Industrial Switch with SFP Port

This unmanaged EKI-2725F-AE switch from Advantech is a robust and reliable solution for building networks in demanding industrial environments. Equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports and one SFP port, it provides fast and flexible data transmission. The ability to expand with a fiber optic module allows for long-distance connections exceeding 100 kilometers.

Construction and application

The switch is designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions. Its metal housing with IP30 protection rating protects against dust and moisture, and a wide operating temperature range (down to -40°C in the EKI-2725FI version) enables its use even in extreme locations. Wall or DIN rail mounting simplifies integration with existing infrastructure.

The device is ideal for monitoring systems, industrial automation, transportation networks, and anywhere reliability and resistance to interference are required. Auto-negotiation of port speeds 10/100/1000 Mbps ensures compatibility with various network devices. Jumbo Frame support (up to 9216 bytes) increases the efficiency of transmitting large data packets.

Key features and benefits

• Connection flexibility: The combination of Gigabit Ethernet and SFP ports allows adaptation to different network needs.
• Resistance to external conditions: Robust metal housing (IP30) and a wide operating temperature range ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions.
• Easy mounting: Wall or DIN rail mounting simplifies integration with existing infrastructure.
• Protections: Reverse polarity protection and overcurrent protection increase installation safety.
• Redundant power supply: The ability to connect two independent power sources (12-48VDC) ensures continuous operation in the event of a failure of one of them – this is additionally signaled by an LED and an alarm relay.
• Wide operating temperature range: The standard version operates in a temperature range from 0 to 60°C, and the EKI-2725FI version extends this range to -40 to 75°C.
