Network switch Ernitec ELECTRA-IM08-1GB 8 ports 1GB Ethernet

The Ernitec ELECTRA-IM08-1GB 8 ports 1GB Ethernet is an industrial-grade network switch providing eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE power on selected ports, and multiple management and security features. Built to meet industrial grade 4 standards, the switch supports DIN-rail (DIN35) mounting, IP40 protection, a high-strength metal housing and an operating temperature range from -40 to 75°C. It includes redundant power input support and protection against reverse power connections.

Advantages

This switch supports a broad set of IEEE standards (802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3z/ab, 802.1Q, 802.1p, 802.1d/w) for compatibility with standard Ethernet networks. It offers PoE power management with PoE Watchdog based on data flow detection and supports IEEE802.3af (15.4W), IEEE802.3at (30W) and IEEE802.3bt (90W) power modes; ports 1–2 can supply up to 90W each. Management options include web GUI, Telnet, CLI and SSH, and network management via SNMP v1/v2/v3. Multicast handling is supported through IGMP Snooping, static multicast filtering and MLD Snooping, while network access control is provided by 802.1x port authentication and AAA.

Suitable for

• Industrial network installations requiring DIN-rail mounting and wide temperature tolerance
• Deployments needing PoE for cameras, access points or other powered devices (ports 1–2 for high-power needs)
• Managed small to medium-sized Ethernet networks with SNMP and secure access requirements

How to use

Mount the switch on a DIN35 rail and connect mains power using the redundant power inputs, observing correct polarity to benefit from reverse connection protection. Connect network devices to the Gigabit Ethernet ports; supply PoE power to compatible devices by connecting them to PoE-capable ports (use ports 1–2 for devices requiring up to 90W). Configure network and security settings using the web interface, SSH, Telnet or CLI, and integrate with SNMP-based management systems if required. Use IGMP/MLD features to manage multicast traffic where applicable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in industrial environments, place the switch in a ventilated enclosure free from conductive dust and severe vibration. When powering high-draw PoE devices, verify total PoE budget and prioritize ports 1–2 for 90W devices. Keep firmware updated and configure 802.1x and AAA for secure port access.
