StarTech Industrial 6-Port Gigabit PoE Switch with DIN Rail Mount

Engineered for industrial environments, the StarTech.com Industrial 6 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch delivers reliable, scalable connectivity for IP cameras, sensors, PLCs, and wireless access points. The switch combines four PoE+ RJ45 ports with two gigabit SFP fiber uplinks in a rugged DIN-rail friendly enclosure, optimized for harsh temperatures and electrical noise common on factory floors and remote sites. With a wide operating temperature range, 48VDC power input, and robust construction, this switch reduces wiring complexity, streamlines power management, and keeps critical devices powered and connected in demanding conditions.

• 6-port design with versatile uplinks: Four PoE+ RJ45 ports deliver power and data to powered devices (up to 30W per port), while two high-speed SFP slots provide flexible fiber uplinks for backhaul or remote site connectivity. This combination supports a clean, scalable network where cameras, access points, and sensors stay energized and online without multiple power drops.
• Industrial-grade durability for harsh environments: Built to endure the rigors of factory floors and outdoor installations, the switch operates across an expansive temperature range from -40°C to 75°C. Its rugged metal enclosure and DIN-rail mounting capability ensure stable, vibration-tolerant operation in space-constrained panels and control cabinets.
• Gigabit performance for high-bandwidth applications: All ports run at 10/100/1000 Mbps, enabling fast data transfer for high-definition video, real-time monitoring, and time-sensitive automation workflows. The two SFP slots support fiber connectivity for long-distance links, providing a robust backbone that helps minimize latency and packet loss in complex industrial networks.
• Power efficiency and intuitive management: PoE+ power on demand simplifies device deployment by delivering both data and power over a single connection to compatible devices, reducing the need for extra wall outlets and power distribution cables. Clear LED indicators give quick visibility into port status, PoE activity, and link integrity, making maintenance and troubleshooting straightforward in busy environments.
• Ready for plug-and-play installation with scalable integration: Designed for quick setup in industrial environments, this switch integrates seamlessly with existing Ethernet infrastructures and 48V DC power systems. Its compact, DIN-rail friendly form factor minimizes panel space usage, while robust construction ensures dependable operation across diverse applications—from surveillance and access control to factory automation.
