December 15, 2020

Phoenix Contact is expanding its line of unmanaged switches.

With galvanically isolated Power over Ethernet, the new 5-Port and 8-Port switches will deliver and outperform existing current POE switches. The new switches will be easily mountable using DIN-rail mounting and fuctions with both SELV and PELV power supplies. This new product was designed especially for factory automation and will offer a 5 and 8 port Gigabit PoE switch with an indoor temperature range and a slimmer design, along with an Quality of Service, automation protocol prioritization, and jumbo frame capabilities.
