Brainboxes’ SW-504 10/100 MB/s Ethernet switch, that uses a 2K packet size to enhance bulk data transfer and optimize system performance, has galvanically isolated ports to provide safe operation in tough environments and extreme temperatures between -30ºC to +80ºC (-22ºF to +176ºF).
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 24VDC factory floor supply; a standard car battery, making it ideal for in-vehicle and aboard boats; 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, comes with a DIN rail clip to speed up mounting inside a cabinet and designed with an “easy wire” feature using 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.
Eamonn Walsh, Managing Director of Brainboxes, comments: “The SW-504 offers a simple, highly reliable and robust solution for extending your mission-critical Ethernet. It’s 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 has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $156.76.
