Unmanaged Switch LevelOne 5-Port Fast Ethernet Industrial Switch

The LevelOne IES-0500 Unmanaged 5-Port Fast Ethernet Industrial Switch delivers five 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports in a compact, DIN-rail mountable metal housing for reliable network connectivity in industrial environments. Designed for mission-critical applications, the switch supports full-duplex operation and a MAC address table suitable for typical small industrial networks while offering visible status LEDs for simple port and link monitoring.

Advantages

The switch operates across a wide industrial temperature range and is built to withstand harsh conditions while remaining cost-effective. It complies with relevant safety and EMC standards, providing baseline protection against electrical hazards. As an unmanaged device, it requires no configuration — offering straightforward plug-and-play deployment and immediate network connectivity.

Suitable for

• Small industrial LANs requiring 5-port Fast Ethernet connectivity
• DIN-rail installations in factories, automation cabinets, or field sites
• Applications needing a rugged, maintenance-free network edge device
