The Advantech EKI-2528-BE is a robust unmanaged Ethernet switch designed to deliver reliable connectivity in industrial automation and control environments. With eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports, the switch provides straightforward Ethernet expansion for devices such as PLCs, HMIs, cameras, and sensors.
It features dual 12–48 VDC redundant power inputs that prevent downtime in the event of a single power source failure. An integrated relay output provides system alarms for power loss, giving operators instant feedback and enhancing operational reliability.
The EKI-2528-BE also incorporates essential industrial safeguards, including reverse polarity and overload current protection, ensuring stable long-term operation. Its compact IP30 metal housing supports both DIN-rail and wall-mount installation, allowing flexible deployment in control cabinets and panels.
Equipped with auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation on all ports, installation is quick and easy with no special cabling requirements. Broadcast storm protection prevents network slowdowns, while store-and-forward switching ensures accurate data transmission.
Operating at -10°C to +60°C, the EKI-2528-BE is ideal for use in standard indoor industrial applications where robust and economical Ethernet switching is required.
