Industrial Ethernet Connectivity for Remote and Harsh-Site Networks
The IES300-2E2F is an unmanaged 2 Port Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch with 2 SC Fiber Ports, built for installations where standard office switches are not a good fit. It connects two copper Ethernet devices to a dual-fiber backbone, making it practical for factory control cabinets, roadside cabinets, building automation systems, IP monitoring networks, and small industrial control rooms.
On the copper side, the two RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation. This allows the switch to work with existing Fast Ethernet devices while still providing Gigabit connectivity for newer controllers, cameras, servers, or uplink equipment. Auto MDI/MDI-X removes the need to check cable type during installation, and half/full-duplex adaptation helps keep mixed network equipment working without manual port settings.
Fiber Extension Without Complex Configuration
The two 1000Base-X SC fiber ports provide a practical way to extend Ethernet beyond the normal copper distance limit. Depending on the selected optical configuration, the link can support multimode transmission up to 550m or 2km, and single-mode distances from 2km to 100km. This makes the switch suitable for connecting separate production areas, substations, traffic cabinets, warehouses, and remote building systems where copper cabling is too short or more exposed to electrical interference.
As a plug-and-play fiber Ethernet switch, the unit requires no IP address, web interface, VLAN setup, or software maintenance. Technicians can mount it, connect the dual DC power input, plug in the copper and fiber cables, and check the front-panel LEDs. Store-and-forward switching, a 10Gbps switching bandwidth, and a forwarding rate of 5.952Mpps support smooth traffic handling for ordinary industrial data, access control devices, monitoring systems, and automation terminals.
Designed for Continuous Industrial Operation
Industrial sites often deal with temperature swings, electrical noise, accidental wiring issues, and limited cabinet space. This DIN-Rail industrial switch uses a corrugated metal housing, fanless natural cooling, and an IP40 enclosure. Its -45°C to +85°C operating range helps it stay in service inside outdoor cabinets, production areas, and unconditioned equipment rooms. With power consumption below 5W, it produces little heat and helps reduce the cooling burden in compact control boxes.
Dual redundant DC power input allows a backup supply to remain connected. Overload protection and reverse-polarity protection add a useful layer of safety during field wiring and maintenance. Imported surge protection devices, IEC Class A EMC protection, and specified surge, electrostatic, pulse, vibration, shock, and free-fall resistance help reduce the risk of downtime caused by common industrial disturbances. The stated MTBF is 300,000 hours, and the product carries a 3-year warranty.
Who Should Use This Switch?
This 2 Port Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch with 2 SC Fiber Ports is a good match for system integrators, electrical contractors, IT administrators, and plant maintenance teams that need a simple fiber-to-copper connection without managed-switch overhead. It is especially useful when the network layout is fixed, configuration time is limited, and stable long-term operation matters more than advanced Layer 2 controls. Choose the fiber distance, optical wavelength, and connector option according to the cable plant and link budget, then deploy it where a compact, low-maintenance industrial network connection is required.
