Tripp Lite 8 Port Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch PoE

Description

Product Overview

The Tripp Lite 8-Port Unmanaged Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch (NGI-U08C2POE8) is designed for demanding environments, combining high-speed data transfer with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities. This compact switch features eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps ports that efficiently route data to designated devices, enhancing network throughput. It includes two Gigabit Ethernet SFP slots for uplinking via optical fiber or copper, supporting flexible network expansions. Constructed with a ruggedized metal housing, it operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 167°F and withstands vibration, shock, and free fall. The switch delivers PoE+ power up to 30W per port with a total budget of 120W at 24VDC or 240W at 48VDC, eliminating the need for separate power lines for compatible devices like IP cameras and wireless access points. Pre-installed with a DIN rail clip and a 6-pin 24-57VDC terminal block, it simplifies installation in space-constrained industrial settings.

Usage

This industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch is ideal for commercial and industrial applications where reliability and durability are critical. It is commonly used in factory floors, warehouse operations, and outdoor installations to power and connect devices such as security cameras, sensors, digital signage, and wireless access points. The unmanaged design requires minimal configuration, making it suitable for IT professionals, facility managers, and system integrators who need a plug-and-play solution for expanding network capacity in harsh conditions. Its wide temperature tolerance and robust construction ensure consistent performance in environments with dust, moisture, or extreme thermal variations.

FAQ

What devices can be powered by the PoE+ ports?

The PoE+ ports support compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, sensors, and digital signage, providing both data and power over a single Ethernet cable up to 30W per port.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

While it is built for harsh environments with a wide operating temperature range, it should be installed in protected enclosures outdoors to shield against direct moisture and debris for optimal longevity.

How do I mount the switch on a DIN rail?

The switch comes with a pre-installed DIN rail clip that easily attaches to any standard 35 mm DIN rail, requiring no additional tools for secure installation in industrial panels or racks.

Does the switch require software configuration?

No, as an unmanaged switch, it operates plug-and-play with auto-learning MAC addresses and MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so no software or configuration is needed for basic network expansion.
