Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5-Port Unmanaged Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch - 10/100/1000 Mbps, PoE+ 30W, -10° to 60°C, DIN Mount, TAA

Enhance reliability and simplify deployment in harsh industrial environments with the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5-Port Unmanaged Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch. This compact, purpose-built switch delivers fast, unmanaged gigabit connectivity across five fixed ports, making it an ideal backbone for machine control, automation panels, security systems, and industrial IoT networks. Designed for DIN-rail installations, it combines rugged durability with plug-and-play simplicity, so technicians can install and power devices quickly without complex configuration. With PoE+ support, a total allocation of 30W enables you to power IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices directly through the switch, reducing cabling clutter and the need for extra power drops. Operating from -10°C to 60°C, the device is engineered to withstand the temperature swings and vibration common in factory floors, warehouses, and outdoor enclosures. The combination of industrial build, five-port gigabit performance, PoE+ capabilities, and government procurement-ready (TAA) status makes this switch a dependable, scalable solution for demanding networks that require dependable uptime and straightforward management.

• Rugged, industrial-grade design optimized for harsh environments, delivering reliable connectivity on factory floors, in control panels, and inside machinery cabinets. Its wide operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C) supports deployment in spaces that experience heat from equipment or outdoor enclosures, while its compact form fits crowded panels without sacrificing performance.
• Five fixed Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto-negotiation provide fast data transfer (10/100/1000 Mbps) and uncomplicated plug-and-play operation. Unmanaged by design, the switch forwards traffic efficiently without the need for software configuration, helping you minimize downtime and simplify network expansions as your system grows.
• PoE+ power capability offers a practical way to power compatible devices over the Ethernet cabling. With an aggregate PoE budget of up to 30W, you can deploy key devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and industrial sensors without running separate power lines, streamlining installation and reducing cable clutter in compact cabinets or harsh environments.
• DIN rail mounting enables rapid, secure installation in standard control panels and equipment enclosures. The modular, slide-on mounting supports flexible orientations and cable routing, ensuring a neat, professional installation that maintains easy access for maintenance and future upgrades.
• TAA-compliant design supports government and enterprise procurement programs, ensuring compatibility with organizations that require Trade Agreements Act compliance. This makes the switch suitable for a wide range of customers, from private sector plants to public sector facilities, without compromising on industrial performance.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5-Port Unmanaged Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch

• Plan the installation location within your control panel or equipment cabinet, ensuring adequate airflow and clear access to ports for future maintenance.
• Attach the switch to the DIN rail in a secure position, using standard mounting clips or accessories compatible with your panel. Verify that the unit sits level and that cables can reach ports without excessive bending.
• Connect devices to the five Gigabit ports with Category 5e/6 patch cables, making sure each connector is fully seated to prevent intermittent links or dropouts.
• If you are powering PoE-enabled devices, connect them to the PoE-capable ports and ensure that the total PoE load does not exceed the 30W budget. Plan device placement to balance heat and power distribution within the cabinet.
• Power on the switch and verify operation by confirming link/activity indicators on each port. Test basic connectivity by pinging connected devices and confirming data transfer across the network.
