Sixnet SL-8ES-1 Ethernet Switch

The Sixnet SL-8ES-1 is an unmanaged 8-port industrial Ethernet switch designed for harsh environments, delivering plug-and-play operation with eight 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. Housed in a Lexan IP30 enclosure, it is mountable on a DIN rail or directly to a panel, and features dual redundant 10-30 VDC power inputs for added reliability in power-sensitive installations. It provides automatic speed and duplex negotiation, auto-MDI/MDI-X and auto-polarity correction, so it integrates with existing networks without configuration; plus LED indicators show link and activity status for quick fault isolation. The device is built for industrial reliability with surge and spike protection and an MTBF of over 1,000,000 hours, and it operates across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 60°C. Compliance covers UL Class I, Division 2, CE and CSA, with ABS Type approval for shipboard applications, making it suitable for hazardous locations and maritime use. The SL-8ES-1 supports up to 1024 MAC addresses and provides robust industrial features in a compact footprint: dimensions 38.1 x 106.7 x 82.8 mm. Common applications include light-to-moderate automation, factory-floor networking, machine coordination, and remote monitoring where simple, dependable Ethernet connectivity is required.
