Perle Industrial Ethernet Switches
5 to 10 Port Industrial Grade Switches
Industrial-grade Ethernet Switches are specifically designed to connect devices in network environments that are subject to extreme operating temperatures of -40°C to 75°C, vibrations, and shocks. They are built to exceed the specifications of commercial switches with industrial safety certification and approval for hazardous locations, making them ideal for use at sites with harsh environmental conditions.
- industrial and factory automation
- outdoor applications
- rail and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs),
- marine
- oil and gas
- mining
Rugged, yet easy to use, Perle has over 734 models of Ethernet switches that feature Industrial Protocol Management support, superior reliability, advanced security, network redundancy, and easy installation and configuration. The IDS Switch portfolio includes support for 10/100/1000 Ethernet and fiber in unmanaged switches, managed switches, and PoE switches.
Perle PoE Switches are classified as Layer 2 Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). The industrial design of a Perle IDS PoE Switch, and all internal components, make it ideal for use in harsh environments subject to vibrations, extreme temperature fluctuations from -40C to 75C, and shocks such as:
- industrial and factory automation
- outdoor applications
- rail and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs),
- marine
- oil and gas
- mining
Perle IDS Managed Switches have enterprise-grade features that include PROFINET and Modbus TCP Protocol Support, MRP IEC 62439-2 Ring protocol for <10ms recovery time, STP/RSTP/MSTP, IGMP Snooping, QoS, VLAN, TACACS+, RADIUS, IEEE 802.1X authentication, SSH, SNMPv3, HTTPS, and IEEE 1588 PTP.
PoE Industrial Ethernet Switches
Compact DIN Rail PoE Switches
In addition to transmitting network data, a PoE Switch has a built-in Power over Ethernet injector to supply up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) to standards-based 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt compliant devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. When connecting network devices, the switch will detect whether they are POE-compatible and automatically supply power. Using a PoE Switch saves on installation and maintenance costs by eliminating the need to install multiple pieces of equipment, additional electrical wires, and outlets.
Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches
Compact DIN Rail Switches
Specifically designed to connect devices in network environments that are subject to extreme operating temperatures of -40°C to 75°C, vibrations, and shocks, Perle has over 516 models of Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches. They are built to exceed the specifications of commercial switches with industrial safety certification and approval for hazardous locations, making them ideal for the harsh environments found in factory and industrial automation, marine, rail and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), oil and gas, mining and outdoor applications.
Perle IDS Managed Switches come with Enterprise-grade features, extensive security, QoS, and network integration functionality:
- PROFINET and Modbus TCP protocols supported for monitoring and device management
- Ring Protocol MRP (IEC 62439-2) for <10ms recovery time
- STP/RSTP/MSTP for network redundancy
- TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) security services
- SSH, SNMPv3, and HTTPS secure management sessions
- IEEE 1588 V1 and V2 PTP for microsecond accuracy
- Protection of User Access Ports through IEEE 802.1x Authentication and Port Security
- Advanced protocols to optimize the performance and intelligence of the network: IGMP Snooping, LLDP-MED, GVRP, Voice VLANs, MSTP, GMRP, and IPv6 MLD Snooping
