SW 16 Port Range Datasheet
Overview — Solutions for High-Speed Data Transfer, Extended Network Reach, and Robust Reliability
Designed for enhanced connectivity, Brainboxes Industrial 16 Port Ethernet Switches are a cost-effective solution to streamline installations, simplify maintenance and wiring complexity, and improve efficiency whilst reducing potential points of failure.
Available with Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, and with SFP, all Hero Ethernet switches come in an industrial hardened metal enclosure for reliable operation in demanding environments.
Functionality and Features

- Enhanced connectivity and flexibility: higher port count enables flexible network layout and device placement
- Integrated, adjustable DIN-rail mount with grounding
- Wide voltage input range (+5V to +30VDC) and dual redundant power inputs — ensures reliability and reduces the risk of power outages
- Industrial hardened enclosure and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +80°C / -40°F to +176°F) — reliable operation in harsh environments
