8-Port PoE+ L2 Managed Industrial Switch  | HSP-IO-8GE2S-I2PDH

An 8-Port Industrial Switch is specifically designed to overcome the challenges of harsh environments, making it a more reliable choice than a standard commercial switch. It is temperature hardened, capable of operating in a wide range from -40°C to 75°C. Its rugged design and DIN rail mountable configuration ensure it can withstand extreme conditions in industrial settings. It's the ideal solution for deploying network devices like Wi-Fi Access Points, CCTV cameras, and IP phones in demanding environments.

Security and reliability are paramount in industrial environments. This switch includes a suite of advanced security features to protect your network, including L2/L3/L4 Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP snooping, and Dynamic ARP Inspection. For enhanced control, it supports 802.1X Port Security with RADIUS accounting and dynamic VLAN assignment, allowing you to manage and authenticate every device connecting to your network.

Reliability is built-in with a dual redundant DC power supply, which ensures high availability and continuous operation even if one power source fails.

Industrial managed switches provide multiple options for simple yet powerful management. It can be configured using a standard Command-Line Interface (CLI) or an intuitive WebGUI. It supports industry-standard protocols like SNMP v1/v2/v3, Telnet, and SSHv2 for secure remote management. Additionally, features such as Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) streamline large-scale deployments by enabling automatic configuration of devices upon connection.

When selecting an industrial switch, prioritize ruggedness, power capabilities, and management features to ensure network stability. Look for models with a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 75°C) and a robust design for harsh environments. Ensure it has enough ports and a sufficient PoE budget if you're powering devices like cameras. A managed switch is recommended for advanced control over traffic and security via features like VLANs and port security.

Redundancy in an industrial network is critical for preventing downtime. Key methods include:

• Dual Redundant Power Supplies: Use switches with two separate power inputs, so if one fails, the other takes over instantly.
• Ring Topology: Connect switches in a ring to create a redundant path for data. If one link breaks, traffic automatically reroutes the other way. Protocols like RSTP or MRP manage this.
• Link Aggregation: Combine multiple Ethernet links into one logical connection to increase bandwidth and provide link-level redundancy. If a link fails, traffic is shifted to the remaining active links.
