Industrial Fiber Aggregation for High-Connection-Density Networks
For buyers searching for a 44-port 10G uplink managed industrial fiber switch with 28 SFP 4 SFP+ rack mount, the IS730-8E24F4F-60W provides a practical 36-port configuration for fiber-heavy aggregation and core applications. It combines 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports, 24 100/1000M SFP fiber slots, and 4 1/10G SFP+ uplink slots in a 1U rack-mount chassis. This layout suits projects that need many long-distance fiber connections without filling the rack with several smaller switches.
The switch is designed for industrial Ethernet networks, intelligent transportation systems, rail transit, power distribution, mining, oil and gas, marine facilities, metallurgy, and renewable energy sites. In a control room or small industrial data center, the 24 Gigabit SFP ports can connect remote switches, cameras, PLC networks, access controllers, or field communication cabinets. The 4 SFP+ ports provide 10G backbone links to a core switch, server, storage platform, or control-center network. SFP modules are purchased separately, so installers can select single-mode, multimode, single-fiber, or dual-fiber optics according to distance and cable availability.
Stable Forwarding and Flexible Network Expansion
All ports support non-blocking, wire-speed forwarding, helping prevent the switch from becoming a traffic bottleneck when multiple fiber links are active at the same time. The 598Gbps switching capacity and 107.14Mpps forwarding performance are suitable for busy video, automation, telemetry, and enterprise aggregation traffic. Gigabit SFP ports can use optical links for distances beyond standard copper cabling, while the SFP+ slots support 1G or 10G optics for gradual backbone upgrades. The switch also supports selected 2.5G optical modules, giving network teams another option when the access layer needs more bandwidth but a complete 10G replacement is not yet necessary.
As a managed industrial fiber switch, it supports L2+ management with IPv4 and IPv6 management access, static routing, inter-VLAN communication, and default routes. Administrators can separate production equipment, security cameras, office users, and maintenance devices through 802.1Q VLAN, MAC-based VLAN, protocol VLAN, Voice VLAN, QinQ, and Access, Trunk, or Hybrid port modes. Static aggregation and LACP can combine links between switches or servers, while QoS with 802.1p, DSCP, SP, WRR, and SP+WRR scheduling helps keep control traffic and voice or video services moving when the network is busy.
Ring Redundancy for Industrial Availability
Network interruptions are difficult to accept in transport, surveillance, and process-control systems. The switch supports STP, RSTP, MSTP, and ITU-T G.8032 ERPS. ERPS recovery can be less than 20ms under the specified ring configuration, helping restore communication quickly after a fiber cut or one-way link failure. Up to 250 rings can be configured, with up to 254 devices per ring. This gives system integrators room to build separated rings for different lines, substations, production areas, or road sections instead of relying on one large flat network.
Security and Day-to-Day Maintenance
For access control, the switch provides 802.1X and MAC authentication, AAA and RADIUS, IP-MAC-VLAN-port binding, DHCP snooping, ARP inspection, IP source protection, port isolation, MAC learning limits, ACL filtering, and anti-DoS controls. Storm control and flow-based rate limiting help contain abnormal broadcast or multicast traffic before it affects other equipment. IGMP and MLD snooping support controlled multicast delivery for IP surveillance, public information displays, and industrial data streams.
Operation teams can manage the device through HTTPS Web management, CLI via console, Telnet or SSH 2.0, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3. LLDP, RMON, system logs, port statistics, ping testing, cable diagnosis, CPU and memory monitoring make fault isolation more direct. The fanless aluminum housing reduces moving-part failure points and helps limit maintenance in cabinets with restricted access. Built-in AC 100-240V power and two 12V DC inputs support backup power arrangements, with automatic switching to the DC connection when the AC input is unavailable. With a -40°C to +80°C operating range, 6kV lightning protection, IP40 protection, and a 5-year warranty with lifelong maintenance, this rack-mount managed industrial Ethernet switch is built for long-term field deployment rather than short-term office use.
