Ethernet switch, EDS-208-M-SC, 7x RJ45, 1x SC fiber optic, multiport

Industrial Ethernet Switch – Reliability and Economy in One

This 8-port Ethernet switch from the EDS-208 series is a solid solution for building reliable networks in harsh industrial environments. The device combines compact size, an attractive price, and resistance to extreme temperatures, making it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users. The EDS-208-M-SC model features seven RJ45 ports and one SC fiber optic port, providing flexibility in network configuration.

Design and Application

The switch is designed to operate in a wide temperature range, from -10°C to +60°C, allowing it to be used in demanding industrial environments – in production halls, inside machines, or in facilities exposed to variable weather conditions. The housing made of plastic (IP30) is lightweight and resistant to shocks and vibrations, and the lack of moving parts increases its lifespan. Mounting is done using a standard DIN rail, which simplifies integration with existing infrastructure. The Store and Forward mechanism ensures reliable data transmission by analyzing packet correctness and increasing network efficiency.

Key Features and Benefits

• Versatile connections: seven 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 ports and one SC fiber optic port allow flexible adaptation to network needs.
• Wide operating temperature range: from -10°C to +60°C – ideal for industrial applications.
• Compact dimensions: 40 x 100 x 86.5 mm – easy to mount even in tight spaces.
• Low power consumption: 12÷48 VDC constant voltage power supply minimizes operating costs.
• Interference resistance: IP30 housing protects against dust and moisture.
• Easy mounting: possibility of installation on a standard DIN rail.
• Maintenance-free operation: lack of moving parts translates to long life and minimal maintenance costs.
• Protections: reverse polarity protection and overload protection (2.5A @ 24VDC) ensure installation safety.

Thanks to these features, the EDS-208-M-SC switch is an economical and effective solution for building reliable Ethernet networks in demanding industrial conditions, where standard devices fail due to extreme temperatures or difficult environmental conditions. The device complies with UL 508, EN 55032/24, CISPR 32, and FCC Part 15B Class A standards, confirming its high quality and safety of use. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is as high as 401624 hours for the EDS-208 model.
