Network Switches

In this category, we offer a wide range of commercial Ethernet network switches and industrial network switches in both managed and unmanaged configurations. Managed switches allow for advanced traffic management, enhanced security features like Access Control Lists (ACLs), and the ability to prioritize traffic. These switches are available with or without SFP ports, which provide flexible networking solutions by allowing the integration of SFP transceivers. For installations requiring power to specialized equipment such as sensors, lighting, and other devices, we also provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.

Our industrial Ethernet network switches are built to withstand extreme environments, including high ranges of temperature and humidity, and are designed to be DIN rail mountable. These switches are perfect for outdoor enclosures or other rugged installations. For network setups that require SFP ports, we offer options to include multimode and singlemode SFP transceivers, both short and long-range. We also offer Industrial SFP modules that are built to handle extreme environmental conditions.

Additionally, we feature WDM single fiber SFP modules that work with a single strand of single-mode fiber and use a bi-directional signal, transmitting and receiving data at two different light wavelengths. Whether you need a high-performance switch for standard commercial use or a robust solution for industrial applications, our selection has you covered.

FAQ

What is the difference between unmanaged and managed network switches?

Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play devices that require no configuration and are ideal for basic networking setups. Managed switches, on the other hand, provide more control over your network, allowing for traffic prioritization, enhanced security, and remote monitoring.

Can I use these switches for outdoor installations?

Yes, we offer industrial network switches that are DIN rail mountable and designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, making them perfect for outdoor enclosures.

What is PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

PoE allows network switches to deliver both data and power over the same Ethernet cable, making it ideal for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and sensors without the need for separate power cables.

Can I mix and match SFP modules with different switches?

Yes, our SFP modules are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be used with any compatible switch that supports SFP ports, as long as the switch does not require a proprietary module.

What is an industrial SFP module, and why would I need one?

Industrial SFP modules are designed to operate in extreme environments, withstanding higher temperatures and harsh conditions. They are perfect for use in industrial settings, outdoor enclosures, and other demanding applications.
