8-port industrial-grade switch with 100Mbps speed

Reliable 8-port industrial Ethernet switches with 100Mbps speeds are available from VISTOtek (VTK-I2080E) and TRENDnet (TI-ELC80), designed for harsh industrial environments.

Recommended Options

1. VISTOtek VTK-I2080E

• Ports & Speed: 8 RJ45 ports supporting 10/100Mbps Ethernet
• Design: Rugged IP40 metal case, DIN-rail or panel mounting
• Power: Dual-redundant, reversible polarity 12V DC to 52V DC inputs for high availability
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 80°C, suitable for extreme industrial conditions
• Applications: Factory automation, industrial monitoring, surveillance systems
• Performance: Non-blocking wire-speed switching, stable operation in harsh environments 2. TRENDnet TI-ELC80
• Ports & Speed: 8-port Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) with up to 200Mbps full-duplex per port
• Design: Compact IP30-rated metal enclosure, DIN-rail and wall mount included
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 75°C, fanless for silent operation
• Durability: Rated for shock, freefall, and vibration; compliant with industrial EMS standards (IEC 61000-4-2, 4-4, 4-5)
• Performance: Total switching capacity of 1Gbps, suitable for extreme hot or cold environments

Key Features to Consider

• Rugged Enclosure: IP30 or IP40 rated metal housing protects against dust and mechanical stress.
• Redundant Power: Ensures continuous operation in case of power failure.
• DIN-Rail Mounting: Simplifies installation in control cabinets or industrial racks.
• Wide Temperature Range: Supports operation in extreme heat or cold.
• Industrial Certifications: Compliance with EMS, ESD, and EFT standards ensures reliability in electrically noisy environments. Both switches are unmanaged, plug-and-play solutions ideal for industrial networks where simplicity, reliability, and environmental resilience are priorities. For applications requiring advanced network management, monitoring, or QoS, consider checking managed industrial switches with 10/100Mbps support from vendors like Phoenix Contact. These options provide a robust, cost-effective solution for connecting multiple devices in industrial settings while maintaining stable 100Mbps performance.
