The SandCat five-port unmanaged Ethernet switch series offers a cost-effective, plug and play option for industrial applications that complements Westermo’s range of managed switches. Supporting 100 Mbit/s, these switches can connect multiple end devices to the network and the availability of a fiber port enables communication over large distances. The switches can also be used when a central device is required to create a physical topology for optimal redundancy and remote access or to act as a simple switch within factory automation applications. This series is designed for applications using DIN rail mounting in harsh industrial environments allowing Ethernet connections to be established between drives, inverters, HMIs, PLCs and I/O units. The switches meet EMC, isolation, vibration and shock standards. The series also features IP30 grade metal housing, operating temperature of -40°C to 75°C, wide power input range, multiple small form-factor pluggable transceiver options and extensive industry approvals.
