Advantech’s industrial Ethernet solutions encompass a diverse array of product options tailored to meet varying network demands. Their offerings include managed and unmanaged switches, Gigabit Ethernet switches, PoE switches compliant with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, protocol switches, switches certified with EN50155, IEC62443 and IEC61850-3 standards, and SFP modules. 

Managed switches provide advanced management features such as SNMP support, redundancy, and security measures like IEEE802.1x, making them ideal for complex network environments. 

Conversely, unmanaged switches offer straightforward deployment without intricate configurations. These switches are available in multiple port configurations, ranging from 5 to 28 ports, and can be mounted on DIN-rails, walls, or racks, supporting both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit transmission. Additionally, optional fiber ports extend network reach, overcoming distance limitations.

Advantech’s PoE switches simplify installation by combining power and data transmission over a single cable, eliminating the need for additional power outlets and extension cables. These switches are available in various power options, including 15W, 30W, 60W, and 90W, suitable for devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. 

For rugged communication needs, Advantech’s solutions feature IP30 metal casings that ensure reliable and stable operation, even in harsh industrial environments, with wide operating temperature ranges from -40 to 75°C. DIN-rail mounting and redundant power inputs (12~48 VDC) further enhance their durability. 

The inclusion of fiber ports enables superior data transmission quality over extended distances, making them ideal for applications requiring long transmission ranges. Designed for reliability, energy efficiency, and robustness, Advantech’s industrial Ethernet solutions are well-suited for Ethernet hubs, network switches, and a variety of industrial applications.
