EtherWAN industrial Ethernet switches connect controllers, sensors, cameras and other devices in industrial networks. Choose managed or unmanaged switches according to your need for network control, then check operating temperature, Ethernet speed, fiber uplinks, redundancy and PoE power requirements.
For critical networks: choose a managed switch when you need VLAN segmentation, QoS traffic prioritization, multicast management or network monitoring. Selected hardened managed models support ERPS／α-Ring, STP／RSTP／MSTP, redundant power and PoE. Check the selected model’s datasheet for supported features and operating limits.

Featured products
EX75900 Series
For rackmount networks connecting many PoE devices.
Up to 720 W total PoE budget
24 Gigabit PoE ports · 10G uplink options
Per-port output and total PoE budget are different. Ratings vary by ordering model, supply and temperature. Confirm the number and allocation of high-power ports; not all ports can necessarily supply their maximum power simultaneously.
Selected examples, not a complete product list.
High-Speed Uplinks
Match uplink bandwidth to aggregated network traffic.
Featured products
EX71900G / EX61900G
100M/1G/2.5G SFP by model
8 Gigabit RJ45 ports · 0, 2 or 4 SFP slots
Uplink speed is separate from the copper device-port speed. These examples do not indicate 2.5G or 10G RJ45 ports. Match the exact ordering model and supported transceiver to the link.

Industrial Ethernet Switch FAQs
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches?
Managed industrial Ethernet switches offer configurable network features such as VLANs, QoS and monitoring. Unmanaged switches provide connectivity without switch configuration. Choose managed switches when your application requires traffic control or visibility; supported features vary by model.
Compare managed and unmanaged switches →What is the difference between Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed switches?
Layer 2 switches forward Ethernet frames using MAC addresses, typically within a VLAN. Layer 3 switches also route IP traffic between subnets or VLANs. Choose Layer 3 when routing is required at the switch; check the model’s supported routing features.
Read the Layer 2／Layer 3 FAQ →What should I check when choosing an industrial PoE switch?
Check each powered device’s required PoE standard, the switch’s power available per port, its total PoE budget and its power supply requirements. Also verify Ethernet speed and operating temperature. IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3bt support depends on the selected model.
Explore industrial PoE solutions →How do I choose a root switch in an STP／RSTP network?
STP／RSTP elects the root bridge using the bridge ID, which includes bridge priority and a MAC address. To favor a specific switch, configure its bridge priority lower than that of the other switches.
Read the STP／RSTP root switch FAQ →Why does α-Ring report a topology change?
A failed link can change an α-Ring network’s topology and trigger a notification through syslog. Check the affected ring links and event logs to identify the change.
Read the α-Ring topology change FAQ →What does a Link Up／Link Down SNMP trap monitor?
Link Up／Link Down SNMP traps report changes in a switch port’s operational status to an SNMP manager. Enable the relevant traps and configure the trap destination according to the switch manual.
