Unmanaged Switches

Unmanaged Ethernet Switches for Industrial Applications

Antaira Technologies’ unmanaged Ethernet switches are engineered for outdoor and tough industrial environments found in security and surveillance, traffic monitoring, mining, power utilities, water treatment plants, substations, and factory automation. Unmanaged switches are the perfect solution for quick setup and deployment. They come in a range of port densities and features. Select port speed (Fast or Gigabit Ethernet), port number (up to 26), connections (RJ45, M12, SFP, LC, ST, or a combination) and Power over Ethernet (PoE). All switches feature a 5-year warranty, accept redundant power input, and offer a choice of standard or extended operating temperature range.

Unmanaged Ethernet Switch Features

Antaira Technologies offers a complete line of unmanaged Ethernet switches. Switch port capacities range between 5 to 18 ports. Common features include dual power input, reverse polarity protection, a relay that outputs port and power failures, jumbo frame, and hardened electronics mounted in a durable case. Unmanaged switches are simple to install and do not require extensive setup.

For example, the Antaira LNX-0501 has 5 PoE ports with a fiber optic port that may be configured with an SC or ST connector. Select single-mode or multi-mode. The fiber optic port provides network connectivity to locations that are up to 2 km using multi-mode and up to 30 km away using single-mode fiber. The switch is built with high ESD, EFT and EMI protection and has a metal IP30 rated case.

For a simple and affordable solution, Antaira LNX-800A 8-Port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch provides reliable, fast communication without the extra cost and burden of a sophisticated, managed switch. It operates in extreme temperatures and is capable of handling industrial power loads offering 2,000V of EFT and 6,000V ESD protection. Input voltage is redundant 12 - 48V DC, and it consumes an efficient 5W of power.

If you’re looking for more port capacity and high performance, then look to the LNX-1204G-SFP switch. The unit is designed with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 dual-rate (100/1000) SFP slots. It’s ideal for applications that demand high bandwidth and long-distance communication.

Dependable Communications in the Most Extreme Temperatures

Heavy industry needs reliable communications. From outdoor control panels to hot manufacturing facilities, you need network equipment that can endure the worst heat and cold and continue non-stop operation. Antaira’s unmanaged Ethernet switches are available in a wide operating temperature range of -10°C to 70°C for these conditions. An extended operating temperature of -40°C to 75°C is an affordable option for critical applications. Rest assured that these rugged, unmanaged switches will get the job done no matter the temperature or conditions.

PoE Injector

Antaira Technologies also offers PoE injectors such as the PA-48-48-US. An injector eliminates the need to run a separate power cable to PoE enabled devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, fire alarms, and digital signs. The PA-48-48-US complies with IEEE 802.3af standards.

Deploy Fast with Industrial-Grade Unmanaged Switches

When simplicity and reliability matter most, unmanaged switches from Antaira Technologies deliver. Built for harsh industrial environments, these plug-and-play switches feature compact designs, wide temperature tolerances, and DIN-rail mounting for easy integration. Ideal for straightforward, low-maintenance networks, they help you get up and running quickly without sacrificing durability.
