Industrial switch
Operates between -40°C and +75°C
Secure, reliable connectivity
Industrial switch: reliable connectivity for demanding environments
Key benefits of industrial switches
1. Designed to withstand extreme environments
Extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration or dust: industrial switches are specially designed to operate flawlessly in harsh conditions, where conventional IT equipment fails.
2. Reliable, continuous network connectivity
With advanced features such as network redundancy (RSTP, ERPS), QoS, or VLAN, industrial switches guarantee smooth, real-time data transmission - an essential element in supervision, control or industrial automation systems.
Who is an industrial switch designed for?
Industrial switches are particularly suitable for :
-
Production sites: automation, robots, connected sensors
-
Transport infrastructures: railways, airports, intelligent highways
-
Energy: power plants, renewable energies
-
Outdoor or constrained environments: tunnels, parking lots, surveillance cameras, etc.
They can be integrated into the network architectures of manufacturers concerned with security, reliability and sustainability.
Highlights of our industrial switch range
1. Enhanced network security
Our edible and non-manageable switches feature advanced security functions: MAC filtering, protection against broadcast storms, and fine-grained access management to prevent network incidents.
2. Easy to install
Compact, fanless and silent, our switches can be easily integrated into electrical cabinets or dusty environments, with DIN rail mounting. Their fanless design reduces maintenance and extends equipment life.

To benefit from a sustainable return on investment, thanks to extended service life and reduced network downtime
- Choose the right solution for every need: from 4 to 28 ports, with SFP fiber options for long distances or wide area networks.
FAQ - Industrial switch
A manageable or non-manageable industrial switch is a network switch designed to operate in harsh industrial environments. Unlike a conventional switch, it withstands extreme conditions (high temperatures, dust, vibrations) and guarantees stable network connectivity for automation, control or monitoring equipment.
-
A managed industrial switch enables advanced network configuration (QoS, VLAN, redundancy, SNMP monitoring), ideal for complex networks.
-
An unmanaged switch operates "plug & play", without any configuration. Suitable for simple or temporary installations.
Yes, provided you use a model with a high IP rating (e.g. IP30 to IP67) and an extended temperature range. Some industrial switches are designed to withstand humidity, UV and water splashes.
Because it enables :
-
Reliable communication between sensors, PLCs and servers
-
Scalable equipment networking
-
Centralized management and enhanced cybersecurity
-
A reduction in network failures, and therefore improved production continuity
Yes, managed models include essential security functions such as :
-
Access control (802.1x)
-
MAC filtering
-
Broadcast storm protection
-
Segmented management via VLAN
They are ideally suited to converged IT/OT environments, a major challenge in Industry 4.0.
