Industrial Ethernet Connectivity for Harsh Sites
The IES300-4E2F is an unmanaged 4 Port Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch with 2 SC Fiber Ports, designed for control cabinets, roadside enclosures, factory floors, and other locations where ordinary office switches may not hold up. It provides four 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports for PLCs, IP cameras, control computers, and other Ethernet devices, plus two 1000Base-X SC fiber ports for long-distance or electrically isolated uplinks.
For installers and network administrators, the main benefit is straightforward deployment. The switch is plug and play, so there is no web interface or software configuration to complete before service goes live. Each RJ45 port automatically adjusts between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps, supports half/full-duplex auto-negotiation, and includes automatic MDI/MDI-X. This helps reduce setup errors when connecting mixed-speed equipment or replacing a failed switch in the field.
Stable Data Transmission with Copper and Fiber
The 4 Port Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch with 2 SC Fiber Ports uses store-and-forward switching and supports line-speed forwarding for smooth traffic handling. Its 10 Gbps switching bandwidth, 5.952 Mpps forwarding rate, 16K MAC address table, and 2 MB packet buffer provide practical capacity for small industrial networks, surveillance links, building automation systems, and equipment-room extensions. A 10K jumbo frame support also helps when connected devices handle larger data packets.
The two 1000Base-X SC fiber ports provide a dependable backbone connection where copper distance, electromagnetic interference, or ground potential differences are concerns. Depending on the selected optical transceiver, the fiber link can support multimode distances of up to 550 m or 2 km, and single-mode distances from 2 km to 100 km. Confirm the fiber mode, wavelength, and required distance before ordering.
Built for Continuous Industrial Operation
In an industrial cabinet, temperature swings, electrical noise, and unstable power are everyday issues. This industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch operates from -45°C to +85°C and uses a fanless metal housing with natural cooling. With power consumption below 5 W, it produces little heat and avoids the maintenance associated with a cooling fan. The IP40 enclosure, IEC Class A EMC protection, surge protection, electrostatic discharge protection, and pulse immunity help the unit keep working around motors, drives, control panels, and outdoor roadside equipment.
Dual redundant DC power input accepts 12 to 58 VDC. Overload protection and reverse-polarity protection add a practical layer of safety during installation and maintenance. If one DC supply path is interrupted, the redundant input arrangement can help maintain network availability when the cabinet power design supports it. The six-core Phoenix terminal makes field wiring clear and suitable for industrial control panels.
Where This Switch Fits
This 4 Port Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch with 2 SC Fiber Ports suits machine-to-machine networks, traffic control cabinets, factory automation, building automation, IP monitoring systems, and small control-room or equipment-room expansions. DIN-rail mounting saves panel space, while the fanless design supports quiet operation. It is a good fit for buyers who need Gigabit copper access and SC fiber connectivity without VLAN, routing, or ongoing configuration work. A three-year warranty and an MTBF of 300,000 hours support long-term deployment planning.
