Plug-and-play Ethernet switch

02 March 2014

Brainboxes has introduced a compact and reliable ‘plug-and-play’ Ethernet switch for industrial, transport and marine use.

The new SW-504 10/100Mb/s Ethernet switch is a quick-op-install unmanaged Ethernet 4-port switch for industrial applications. It uses a 2K packet size to enhance bulk data transfer and optimise system performance, has galvanically isolated ports to provide safe operation in tough environments and extreme temperatures between -30ºC to +80ºC.

Reliability is enhanced with redundant dual power inputs between +5V to +30Vdc. The unit can be run from a 24Vdc factory floor supply; a standard car battery or even a computer USB port, using an optional accessory cable (PW-650).

Easy to install into your existing network and taking up minimal space, the SW-504 is ultra-slim in size at just 22.6mm wide. It comes with a DIN rail clip to speed up mounting inside a cabinet and its 'easy wire' feature makes use of removable colour-coded and numbered terminal blocks.

Power consumption is optimised for maximum efficiency with a power down mode for when the device is inactive.
