Description
The Brainboxes SW-535 is a compact, rugged industrial Ethernet switch engineered to streamline IP-based networks in demanding environments. This 5-port PoE+ Gigabit switch is purpose-built for CCTV, vision systems, and industrial IoT deployments where reliable, continuous power and data connectivity matter most. With automatic data speed detection across 10/100/1000 Mbps, effortless PoE power delivery, and a robust chassis that stands up to vibration, dust, and temperature extremes, the SW-535 helps you deploy complex surveillance and sensing networks with fewer components and less maintenance. Whether you’re deploying a campus security system, an autonomous manufacturing line, or a logistics hub, this switch brings dependable, plug‑and‑play performance to the edge of your network. The solution is designed to minimize installation time, reduce cable clutter, and improve overall network reliability in environments where downtime is simply not an option.
- Compact industrial design: The SW-535 combines a small footprint with a sturdy, purpose-built enclosure, allowing easy integration into control panels, cabinets, or compact racks. Its rugged construction is optimized for continuous operation in harsh environments where space is at a premium and equipment endures routine vibrations and exposure to dust.
- 5-port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet: Power up compatible IP cameras, sensors, access points, and other PoE-enabled devices directly from the switch, eliminating the need for separate power injectors or outbound power runs. This simplifies cabling, reduces installation time, and lowers total system cost in CCTV and vision-system deployments.
- Automatic speed negotiation: Each port automatically negotiates the best available speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) to ensure optimal performance for all connected devices without manual configuration, catering to both older equipment and high-bandwidth cameras or sensors.
- Industrial temperature tolerance: Designed to operate reliably from -40°C to +70°C (-40 to +158°F), the SW-535 remains functional in extreme environments such as heated machinery rooms, cold storage areas, or outdoor enclosures when sheltered, delivering dependable performance where consumer-grade switches would fail.
- Unmanaged, plug-and-play operation: No complex setup required. Simply connect power and Ethernet cables, plug in PoE devices, and the SW-535 takes care of itself, providing stable data connectivity and PoE power with minimal maintenance.

how to install Brainboxes SW-535
- 1. Mount the SW-535 in a suitable enclosure or panel where heat can dissipate and cables can be routed cleanly. Ensure the installation meets the environmental requirements for -40°C to +70°C operation.
- 2. Connect PoE-enabled devices (cameras, sensors, APs) to the 5 Ethernet ports on the switch, routing data and power through the same cables where applicable.
- 3. Run a standard Ethernet uplink from one port (or another network device) to your core network to provide data access across the broader system.
- 4. Provide the appropriate power to the SW-535 according to the product’s manual, ensuring a stable power source suitable for industrial deployments.
- 5. Power on the switch and verify each connected PoE device powers up and establishes a link. Confirm that the LED indicators reflect active connections and that data passes correctly without manual configuration.
