Performance And Selection Of 8-port Industrial Switch

Industrial Switch refers to Ethernet switch applied in industrial field. Industrial switches have strict standards in the selection of components, because industrial switches are used in harsh environments, and their performance and various security indicators are more stable than ordinary (commercial) switches. Therefore, the price of industrial switches is slightly higher than that of general switches.

The 8-port industrial switch is a common switch product because of its moderate port quantity and price. From the current market demand, the 8-port industrial switch is still widely used. This article will introduce the performance of 8-port industrial switch and how to choose 8-port industrial switch.

Performance of 8-port industrial switch

The 8-port industrial switch supports RJ45, SC/ST/FC and other interfaces, provides 6 10/100M Ethernet RJ45 electrical ports, 2 remote Ethernet optical ports supporting SC/ST/FC interfaces, and supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, IEEE802.1p QOS and other protocols, thus realizing effective planning and monitoring of business data. It also provides port mirroring, link aggregation, MAC address filtering, LLDP and other means to effectively monitor and manage network data and network bandwidth.

The 8-port industrial switch has the redundant dual-power DC line wide voltage range (10~55V) input function, which greatly improves the adaptability and reliability of power input and protects the reliable transmission of network data of industrial automation system.

Taking our 8-port industrial switch IS1000-1008 as an example, the industrial switch supports 8 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports. The product complies with FCC, CE and ROHS standards. At the same time, it supports a wide operating temperature of - 40 ℃~85 ℃, has a strong robustness and can adapt to various harsh environments, and can also be conveniently placed in a compact control box. The installation characteristics of the DIN rail, wide temperature operation, IP40 protection grade housing and LED indicator light make it a plug-and-play industrial equipment, providing a reliable and convenient solution for users' Ethernet equipment networking.

The IS1000-1008 industrial switch is located at the network access layer, configured with 8 100M electrical ports, supports BSP storm suppression dial switch, and supports high priority uplink ports. It can be used in various field environments and can be flexibly networked. It can be widely used in industrial application scenarios such as industrial control automation, road traffic control automation, building automatic control system, mine automatic control system, oilfield control automation, hydropower station control automation, power system control automation, computer room monitoring system, etc. It can work stably and reliably to create a stable industrial Internet of Things.

How to select 8-port industrial switch

Working environment: including temperature range, EMC electromagnetic compatibility, installation mode and power supply. Industrial switches are designed for environments that are not suitable for commercial switches.

Managed or unmanaged industrial switch: If the network is relatively simple, you can choose the plug-and-play unmanaged industrial switch; If it is necessary to select the managed industrial switch for future maintenance convenience.

Industrial standards of relevant industries: for example, the 8-port industrial switch for ships should meet the standards of ship structure; Rail transit, highway and other transportation industries should meet the corresponding certification standards

About the 8-port industrial switch, this paper introduces its main performance and how to choose 8-port industrial switch. In short, the 8-port industrial switch usually supports the G.8032 standard ring network protection protocol, supports various ring network topologies, and is a very cost-effective Ethernet switch.
