The Advantech EKI-2528I-BE is an industrial-grade unmanaged Ethernet switch offering eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports in a compact and rugged design. Tailored for harsh environments, it supports an extended wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, making it ideal for outdoor enclosures, roadside cabinets, and unconditioned industrial sites.
Like other models in the series, the EKI-2528I-BE supports redundant 12–48 VDC power inputs, providing enhanced reliability and reducing the risk of network downtime. A relay output is built-in to issue alarms for power failures, enabling proactive maintenance.
Its IP30-rated metal enclosure and DIN-rail or wall-mounting capability ensure easy integration into industrial control systems. Reverse polarity and overload current protection safeguard against wiring mistakes or electrical faults, while broadcast storm protection helps maintain stable communication across the network.
With auto MDI/MDI-X support and plug-and-play functionality, installation is fast and straightforward. The switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure reliable packet forwarding and accurate data delivery, even in noisy environments.
Built to deliver reliable Ethernet connectivity in the toughest conditions, the EKI-2528I-BE is a cost-effective solution for applications in utilities, energy, transportation, and process automation.
