Brainboxes 16 Port Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit & Fast Ethernet Switch

The Brainboxes 16 Port Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit & Fast Ethernet Switch provides robust and reliable networking for demanding industrial environments. This hardened switch is designed to withstand the challenges of factory floors, outdoor cabinets, and other harsh locations where stable connectivity is critical.

Featuring a compact, DIN-rail mountable design, it offers easy integration into control panels and industrial racks, saving valuable space. The device combines both Gigabit and Fast Ethernet ports, providing flexible connectivity for a mix of modern high-speed and legacy network devices.

A key feature is the inclusion of an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port, making the switch fibre-ready. This allows for long-distance, noise-immune backbone connections between switches or to a central network, ideal for sprawling industrial sites.

As an unmanaged switch, it offers plug-and-play operation with no configuration required, ensuring simplicity and reliability for essential network segmentation and expansion. Its ruggedised construction is built to resist vibration, electrical noise, and extreme temperatures commonly found in industrial settings.
