Plug and play Ethernet switch for industrial and transport use

Brainboxes' SW-504 10/100 MB/s Ethernet switch, that 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 -30degC to +80degC (-22degF to +176degF). The SW-504 is encased in a non-conductive material for enhanced safety, particularly important for electrical wiring in cabinet spaces.

Reliability is further enhanced with redundant dual power inputs between +5V to +30V DC, meaning a second power supply can be fitted as a back-up to prevent down time should one power source fail. The power input range means the SW-504 can be run from a 24V DC factory floor supply; a standard car battery, making it suitable for in-vehicle and aboard boats; or even a computer USB port, using an optional accessory cable (PW-650).

Easy to install into an existing network and taking up minimal space, the SW-504 is ultra-slim in size at just 22.6mm wide, comes with a DIN rail clip to speed up mounting inside a cabinet and designed with an "easy wir" feature using removable colour-coded and numbered terminal blocks. Power consumption is optimised for efficiency with a power-down mode for when the device is inactive.

Eamonn Walsh, Managing Director of Brainboxes, comments: "The SW-504 offers a simple, highly reliable and robust solution for extending your mission-critical Ethernet. Its slim design and easy wire terminals make it great for fitting into crowded networking cabinets. Matching the same high specification as our industrial range of 5-Port unmanaged Ethernet switches, the SW-504 is essential to prevent the risk of network interruption."

The SW-504 Ethernet switch has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $156.76. For further details please visit www.brainboxes.com.
