DIN Rail Ethernet Switch
Industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail installation, intended for automation and industrial communication networks.
A DIN-rail Ethernet switch interconnects network devices in line, star, ring, or other industrial topologies. It may be unmanaged, managed Layer 2, or provide selected Layer 3 functions.
For managed models, VLAN, QoS, STP/RSTP/MSTP, ring redundancy, IGMP/MLD Snooping, link aggregation, LLDP, SNMP, syslog, and time synchronization are important. PoE PSE models are additionally characterized by supported PoE standards, power budget, and per-port power.
Other key parameters include the number and types of copper and optical ports, Ethernet speeds, SFP support, switching capacity, MAC table size, latency, and management/security functions. Industrial applications also require consideration of redundant power inputs, alarm interfaces, and environmental range.
This subcategory includes managed and unmanaged industrial DIN-rail Ethernet switches, including Layer 2/Layer 3 and PoE PSE models.
