Network switch TRENDnet TI-ELC50 Unmanaged 5-port Fast Ethernet (10/100), 9.6–60V, wall/DIN-rail mount

The TRENDnet TI-ELC50 is an unmanaged 5-port Fast Ethernet switch designed for industrial and small-network environments. It provides five RJ-45 10/100 ports supporting full duplex operation, a 1 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 1,000-entry MAC address table. Housed in a compact, black metal enclosure with IP30 hardening, the switch accepts 9.6–60 V DC input and can be mounted on a wall or DIN-rail for flexible placement in control cabinets or compact installations.

Advantages

This compact industrial switch combines basic, reliable Ethernet connectivity with a rugged metal housing rated for industrial use. It operates across a wide temperature range and withstands vibration and shock typical of industrial sites. The unmanaged design requires no configuration, simplifying deployment, while the multiple mounting options and five copper Ethernet ports allow stable connections to machines, sensors, or small office devices.

Suitable for

• Small industrial networks and machine control cabinets
• Compact installations where DIN-rail or wall mounting is required
• Edge device connectivity for sensors, PLCs and IP cameras (Fast Ethernet links)
• Temporary network extension or device aggregation in field sites

How to use

Install the TI-ELC50 on a DIN-rail or attach it to a wall using the supplied brackets in a location that meets the device’s operating temperature and environmental requirements. Connect power from a compatible DC source within the 9.6–60 V range (power supply sold separately). Use standard Ethernet cables to connect devices to the RJ-45 ports. As an unmanaged switch, no configuration is required; connected devices will negotiate link speed and duplex automatically according to IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3x standards.

Recommendations

Use short, shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables of appropriate category for 10/100 Mbps links and secure the unit to avoid excessive vibration. Choose a DC power source that meets the voltage range and current requirements of connected devices; if the installation is in a regulated environment, verify compliance with site grounding and surge protection practices.
