Industrial Ethernet Switches

Ethernet and PoE Devices for Demanding Applications

When seeking a communication solution for factory automation, power utilities, wastewater treatment plants, security, transportation, or outdoor environments, industrial-grade network switches are the solution. They are specifically designed to withstand rough conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock. Look no further. Antaira Technologies’ Ethernet switches are high-performance, cost-effective, easy to install, and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Built for nearly any industrial or outdoor location, these switches offer IEEE protocol support, managed features and routing, copper and fiber ports, Power over Ethernet (PoE), web and command-line administration, redundant power, and network redundancy. All are backed with a 5-year warranty or better.

Ethernet Switch Features

Our comprehensive line of industrial Ethernet switches features capacities ranging from 2 to 48 ports and speeds of up to 10 Gbps. They are DIN-rail or rack-mount ready, rated for surge protection of up to 2,000 VDC, and ESD protection of up to 6,000 VDC.

Choose from a range of unmanaged models or opt for more powerful ones with advanced routing and management features. Managed switches can set up and modify the network configuration, whereas unmanaged switches facilitate easy setup and deployment. With Layer 2 management, a managed switch can be configured for port mirroring, VLAN tagging, an 8K MAC address table, LACP, QoS, and a whole lot more.

For example, the cost-effective LNP-0500G unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch features 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE+) ports of Gigabit speed. It supports the IEEE802.3af/at specification and offers a maximum of 30 watts per port. If you require more port capacity, then take a look at Antaira’s LMX-2012G-SFP 20-port industrial managed switch. It features 20 Gigabit ports configured as 8 copper RJ45 ports and 12 SFP slots.

IP67 Switches with M12 Connectors

In industrial machinery, factory automation, and railway applications, M12 connectors are ideal where a compact, reliable connection with environmental protection is required. For example, the Antaira LNX-0500-M12-67 features five M12 ports. With an operating temperature range of -40 to 75 °C, it can be used in some of the harshest industrial environments. It is compliant with UL 61010-1 and 61010-2-201 and IP-67 rated. The LNP-0800G-M12-67-24 model is similar to the LNX-0500-M12-67. However, it features 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and accepts a 24 VDC power input.

PoE Splitters, PoE Injectors, and Extenders

Ethernet extenders, PoE splitters, and PoE injectors are essential devices for extending your network. The CopperLink 2110 from Patton Electronics is an industrial-grade PoE extender and injector used to connect PoE devices to an existing non-PoE network. It also extends the cable run beyond the Ethernet limit of 300 m. The LNP-201AG-T PoE injector eliminates the need for a separate power cable to cameras, wireless access points, fire alarms, and other PoE-enabled devices. All of these products offer power isolation and current overload protection, and they output 15.4 W (per IEEE 802.3af) to a PoE-enabled device
