MOXA EDS-308-S-SC 8 Port Single-mode SC Industrial Ethernet Switch

The single-mode SC fiber optic ports on the MOXA EDS-308-S-SC are designed to support communication distances of up to 40 kilometers. This extended range is a significant advantage for connecting devices across large industrial sites, substations, or campuses where standard Ethernet cabling would be insufficient. The single-mode fiber technology ensures signal integrity over these long distances, making it ideal for backbone connections or linking geographically dispersed network segments.

No, the MOXA EDS-308-S-SC is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, which means it is designed for plug-and-play operation. It does not require any complex software configuration or IP addressing. Once powered and connected to network devices and cables, it automatically begins forwarding data traffic, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for specialized networking expertise on-site.

The EDS-308-S-SC is equipped with a smart relay output alarm that provides crucial system monitoring capabilities. This alarm is designed to alert network administrators to critical events such as power failures or port link failures. By connecting an external alarm device to the relay output terminals, operators can receive immediate notification, allowing for prompt troubleshooting and minimizing potential operational disruptions and downtime.

Yes, the MOXA EDS-308-S-SC is certified for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 2 and ATEX Zone 2. These certifications indicate that the switch is designed and tested to operate safely in environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present, but not typically in concentrations that would cause ignition under normal operating conditions. This makes it a suitable and safe choice for sectors like oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining.

The switch supports redundant dual DC power inputs, providing enhanced reliability. It operates within a voltage range of 9.6 to 60 VDC. The dual input design allows for a backup power source, so if one power supply fails, the switch continues to operate using the other, preventing network downtime.
