From factory floors to railway systems, the sturdy connections on these switches connect cabled devices in tough environments. More rugged than the RJ45 ports on standard Ethernet switches, the M12 connectors are IP rated to seal out water and dust, and won't shake loose from vibration. Use them to send data between sensors, switches, servers, computers, and PLCs, or to connect devices to the Internet. Plug in your devices and they’ll be connected to your network, no further setup required. When not in use, protect connectors with an M12 electrical connector cap.
All switches are backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or lower transmission speed. For example, a 100 Mbit/s transmission speed switch will work in a 10 Mbit/s network, but it will only run at 10 Mbit/s.
A Code—Switches with A-coded plugs only receive power—they can’t share power with another switch connected down the line.
L Code—Switches with L-coded plugs have dedicated power in and power out ports. This means you can daisy-chain power from one Ethernet switch to another.
IP66 Enclosure Rating and IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP66 and IP67 rated switches withstand washdowns and temporary submersion. You’ll often find them mounted directly to machines or equipment in process control and outdoor communication applications.
IP69K Enclosure Rating—IP69K rated switches have the highest level of protection. They withstand high-pressure washdowns and steam cleaning. These switches are designed for harsh environments with regular exposure to water, so you’ll find them in manufacturing, food processing, and wastewater treatment facilities. You can also use them in areas exposed to rain or snow.

Device-prioritizing Ethernet switches, also known as managed Ethernet switches, let you control which devices get priority speed on your network. For example, you can set it so that safety systems get all of the bandwidth they need while they are running, and all other devices on the network share what's left over. Easily set up these switches over the web or via command line interface. No software required.
Ethernet switches connect computers, sensors, and other devices to the same network so they can talk to each other, access the Internet, and provide you with real-time diagnostics. These switches have port mirroring, which duplicates data from one network port to another—this lets you keep an eye on network traffic and troubleshoot performance issues. They are backward compatible, so they'll work in networks below their rated transmission speed. For example, a 100 Mbit/s switch will work in a 10 Mbit/s network, but it will only run at 10 Mbit/s.
M12 connections instead of typical RJ45 keep out contaminants and won’t come loose from vibration.
D—D-coded connectors are used for Ethernet rated up to Category 5 or 100 Mbps.
X—X-coded connectors are used for high-speed Ethernet with data transfer rates up to 1 Gb/s.
5-Pole Micro M12—Switches with a 5-pole power plug have a ground pin.
IEEE 802.1q—These switches use the IEEE 802.1q standard for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network). VLAN increases security, reliability, and efficiency by clustering devices on the network into groups and limiting when and how devices can communicate outside of their group.
