RS PRO 8-Port Ethernet SwitchThe RS PRO range of ethernet switches continues to improve. Here we are pleased to introduce the superb 8-port ethernet switch module with 10/100 Mbps transmission speed. This high-quality device is packed with operational features suitable for ethernet networks, operates on an unregulated voltage range of 5 V dc to 30 Vdc and consumes a maximum power of 1.5W. When It comes to installation It can be wall-mounted via fixing holes on the non-conducting polyamide case.What is an ethernet switch?Ethernet switches, also known as LAN (local area network) switches, are an integral part of any computer network interface. Fixed switches have a fixed number of ports and can come in speeds Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), Ten Gigabit (10/100/1000/10000 Mbps) and 40/100 Gbps speeds. When choosing the speed, you should consider the network needs of the user and whether they will be transferring large volumes of data. This RS PRO Ethernet switch has a speed of 10/100 Mbps.Features and Benefits8 Port 10/100 Mbs Ethernet Switch 8 RJ45 jacks Easy wire removable screw terminal block Redundant dual power inputs: +44V to +57 V DC No software required - Simply plugin and connectSpecificationPower Consumption: 1.5 Watts Max: 300 mAmps @+5 V DC /50mAmps @+30 V DC Power Supply input: Unregulated +5 V to +30 V DC, reverse polarity protection Operating Temperature: -10 °C to +60 °C Ethernet Ports: 8 x RJ45 jack, 10/100Mhz autosensing, crossover auto-sensing (Auto MDIX) Unmanaged 10/100Mbps Ethernet Housing: IP-30 rated non-conducting polyamide case with Easy Wire Removable screw terminal block Dimensions: 107 x 102 x 28 mm Weight: 134 gApplications:Industrial hubs are the devices used to connect several Ethernet devices together at one time. They then function as a single network together. They can be used in the following areas:Automation industries Energy industries Machinery & robotics industries Transportation industries These RS PRO unmanaged Ethernet switches are suitable for the factory floor, in-vehicle and marine applicationsFAQs What is the difference between managed and unmanaged switches? Unmanaged switches let you immediately plug and play devises into your network and cannot be modified or managed. They are usually used in home networks and small businesses. Managed switches allow for greater control and are ideal for larger businesses and organisations with a large and growing network.
