The Advantech EKI-2528-C is the updated C-series version of the well-established EKI-2528 unmanaged switch. Like its predecessor, it provides eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports, but with revised components and design improvements for longer product lifecycle and enhanced reliability.
The switch supports redundant 12–48 VDC power inputs to guarantee network continuity, and features a relay output to notify operators immediately in the event of a power failure. Compact and rugged, its IP30-rated metal housing is designed for industrial environments such as factory automation, machine control, or building systems.
With broadcast storm protection, store-and-forward switching, and plug-and-play operation, the EKI-2528-C ensures efficient traffic handling without configuration. Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X support simplify installation by eliminating cable type concerns, making deployment quick and straightforward.
Designed with robust EMC immunity and reverse polarity protection, the switch provides stable operation in electrically noisy environments. LED indicators on the front panel provide instant system status feedback for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
Offering a standard operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, the EKI-2528-C is an excellent choice for modernising Ethernet infrastructure while retaining compatibility with existing deployments.
