    Device-Prioritizing DIN-Rail-Mount Ethernet Switches

    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 the bandwidth they need while they're 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. Mount them onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail alongside PLCs, relays, and power supplies—they snap in place and stay secure.
    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. Switches 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.

    Ethernet switches with port mirroring allow any port on the switch to duplicate the output of another port. This is useful for troubleshooting network and performance issues.
    IEEE 802.1q—Ethernet switches that meet IEEE 802.1q standard for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) increase security, reliability, and efficiency by clustering devices on the network into groups. They also limit when and how devices can communicate outside of their group.

    With a single cord, send data and electricity to Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible devices. These injectors are commonly used to run devices such as routers and wireless access points in areas where no power outlet is nearby. To run these injectors, you need a power cord and two Ethernet cords (all sold separately). Connect one Ethernet cord from your network hub to the input of the injector, and the other Ethernet cord from the injector to your device.
    These injectors meet U.S., Canadian, and European standards for safety. All have a limited power source (LPS) rating, meaning they meet international safety standards for low-voltage output. They’re also rated for DOE Level VI efficiency, signaling they comply with Department of Energy efficiency requirements for power usage.
    As these injectors convert AC voltage to DC voltage, some noise from the AC voltage will carry into the output. While this won't affect most applications, this noise can interfere with other signals in extremely sensitive applications. The lower the output noise, the less interference it creates.
    When choosing an injector, consider how much power your device requires.
    Passive Power Over Ethernet—Use passive injectors with passive devices. These injectors send power to connected devices at all times; if they are incompatible, the devices could be damaged.
    Active Power Over Ethernet—Active injectors check for compatibility with connected devices before sending power, protecting those devices from possible damage. They’re backwards compatible, so injectors with higher output powers can still be used with lower-power devices that meet a different IEEE standard.
    15.4 W Output—Injectors with a 15.4W output power are often used with internet-connected phones and simple surveillance cameras.
    30 W Output—Injectors with a 30W output power commonly power advanced surveillance systems, wireless access points, and lighting.
    60 W Output—Injectors with a 60W output power are a common choice for building automation components and video conferencing equipment.
    90 W Output—Injectors with a 90W output power are often connected to TVs and monitors.
    C6—For injectors with an IEC C6 input connection, choose power cords with an IEC C5 socket.
    C14—For injectors with an IEC C14 input connection, choose power cords with an IEC C13 socket.
    Shielded Ethernet—Injectors with shielded connections protect from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
    CoC Tier 2—Injectors rated for CoC Tier 2 efficiency meet European standards for efficient power usage.

    Device-Prioritizing Rack-Mount Ethernet Switches

    Control which devices get priority speed on your network. Also known as managed Ethernet switches, these switches reduce network congestion so security, automation, and other critical systems have the bandwidth they need. Use them to create smaller networks called VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to improve performance and limit user access to specific parts of the network. If you need to connect devices that don’t use Ethernet, these switches have two SFP (small form-factor pluggable) ports that let you plug in a transceiver or module.
    These switches mount into standard 19" wide racks, cabinets, and enclosures. To set them up, just enter their IP address into a web browser. They are backward compatible, so they'll work in networks below their rated transmission speed. That means a 100 Mbit/s switch will work in a 10 Mbit/s network, but it will only run at 10 Mbit/s.

    Switches with Power over Ethernet (PoE) can send both data and electricity to PoE-compatible devices, so you won’t have to run a separate power cord. If a device doesn’t support PoE, the switch only sends data to prevent damage. Their 30W output is often used to power advanced surveillance systems, wireless access points, and lighting.

    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.
