Brainboxes SW-504 Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switch 4 Ports

Meet the Brainboxes SW-504, a rugged, industrial unmanaged Ethernet switch engineered for harsh factory floors and demanding automation environments. With galvanically isolated ports, it shields your network from ground loops and electrical noise, delivering reliable connectivity for critical devices like sensors, PLCs, cameras, and edge computers. Designed to perform across extreme temperatures, the SW-504 thrives in environments where standard switches fail, making it a trusted backbone for industrial control systems, process automation, and real-time monitoring. Its dual input redundant power supply and broad voltage compatibility mean you can power it from a USB source or a robust 24V DC supply on the factory floor, ensuring continuous operation even during power fluctuations. The removable power terminal simplifies field installation and service, reducing downtime when wiring configurations change.

  • Rugged, industrial reliability: Built to excel in challenging environments, the SW-504 is engineered to maintain performance across a wide operating range, delivering consistent network connectivity where uptime matters most.
  • Four-port, plug-and-play design: This unmanaged Ethernet switch offers straightforward, no-configuration connectivity for four devices, enabling quick expansion of your network without the need for complex setup or management software.
  • Galvanic isolation on all ports: Each of the four ports is galvanically isolated, protecting devices from electrical interference and minimizing the risk of ground loops, which can disrupt data integrity in industrial environments.
  • Dual input redundant power with wide voltage range: The SW-504 supports multiple power sources, allowing operation from USB or a 24V factory power supply. Its redundancy ensures continued operation even if one power path experiences a fault or interruption.
  • Removable power terminal for flexible installation: The removable power terminal simplifies installation, field service, and cabling changes, helping technicians adapt the network layout quickly without rewiring the entire device.

  • Power options: Dual input redundant power supply with a wide voltage range, enabling power from USB or a factory-grade 24V supply.
  • Power terminal: Removable power terminal for flexible installation, easier maintenance, and adaptable cabling configurations.
  • Environment and durability: Engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments, offering steady performance in environments where consumer-grade switches would struggle.
  • Configuration: As an unmanaged switch, it provides plug-and-play simplicity with no configuration required, reducing deployment time and potential setup errors.

How to install Brainboxes SW-504

  • Choose a suitable mounting location that is accessible for cabling and within the device’s operating environmental specifications. Ensure adequate ventilation and protection from dust and exposure to direct moisture when possible.
  • Connect your Ethernet devices to the four available ports on the SW-504 using standard Ethernet patch cables. Verify that the cables are securely seated and free from visible damage.
  • Power the switch using one of the available options. If using USB power, connect a USB power source with sufficient current capacity. If using a 24V DC supply, attach it to the removable power terminal as per your installation plan. The device is designed to operate with either power path in a redundant configuration when needed.
  • Power on the device and observe the status indicators. A healthy link LED for each active port indicates successful connections, while other indicators alert you to power status and potential faults. If any port does not illuminate, inspect the cable, device, and power connection.
  • Integrate the SW-504 into your network topology by connecting it to your control systems, sensors, cameras, or other Ethernet-enabled devices. Because it is unmanaged, it requires no configuration; simply plug in and begin transmitting data while monitoring for stable activity in your network monitoring tools.
