EKI-2528 - 8-Port Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

The Advantech EKI-2528 and EKI-2528I are 8-port unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches, housed in an IP30 rated case making them ideal for industrial applications.

The Advantech EKI-2528I device offers an extended temperature range making it suitable for harsh environments.

The Advantech EKI-2528 is a fast Ethernet solution with enhanced power protection features. The device can be powered from a source ranging from +12V ~ +48 VDC, which supports a redundant input design, and is secured with a double protection mechanism: Power Polarity Reverse Protect and an Overload Current Resettable Fuse.

The Power Polarity Reverse Protect feature is capable of withstanding reverse power wiring so that devices will not be damaged in the event of an incorrect installation, whilst the resettable fuse secures the system from overload currents and the device will automatically reset and resume operation as the power supply returns to its normal state.

Each port of EKI-2528 has 2 LED's to show the link status transmission speed and collision status. It also provides a relay output for an event alarm. Should a power failure occur, the built-in LED will activate the alarm to notify administrators. Engineers can simply verify the hardware status by checking the LED, making troubleshooting a simple task.

Both EKI-2528 and EKI-2528I are housed in a compact metal enclosure that is IP30 rated to help protect from dusty industrial environments.
