SL Industrial Ethernet Switch

SlimLine Unmanaged Industrial Connectivity

The SL line of unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches are ideal for light to moderate industrial applications. Available in 5, 6, 8 or 9 port options, our unmanaged SL switches offer protected circuitry and DIN-rail packaging to ensure rugged reliability and long-term service in industrial environments. With over 1,000,000 hours MTBF, industrial networks will stay up and running for many years to come.

 

Industrial Switch Product Highlights

  • Up to 9 fast Ethernet (10/100) ports
  • Up to 2 fiber optic ports for noise-immune links up to 120km
  • Low cost with high performance and value
  • Hardened design for light to medium industrial applications
  • Slim packaging fits on your DIN-rail
  • Dual power inputs keeps you running
  • Plug and play saves you time and money

Note: These industrial switches are also available as SLX models which offer tougher packaging and increased ratings.
