The EKI-2708G-PI-A is an unmanaged industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for high-reliability networks in challenging environments. Equipped with eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports, each supporting IEEE 802.3at/af PoE+, the unit delivers up to 30 W per port to power devices such as IP cameras, access points, or VoIP systems. With a maximum PoE budget of 240 W (at 48 VDC), it ensures dependable service for multiple powered devices simultaneously.
Engineered with redundant 12–48 VDC dual power inputs and a relay fault output, the EKI-2708G-PI-A provides improved system availability and real-time alarm notifications. Advanced protection features such as overload current protection, reverse polarity protection, and LAN surge protection up to ±6 kV guarantee robust performance in mission-critical installations.
The compact IP30-rated metal enclosure is suitable for both DIN-rail and wall-mount installations, with a pull-down DIN kit included for easier integration into varied control cabinets. Designed to withstand vibration, shock, and freefall, the unit operates reliably across a wide −40 to 75 °C temperature range and 5–95% relative humidity.
Switching capacity reaches 16 Gbps, with a data forwarding rate of 11.9 Mpps and jumbo frame support up to 9K bytes, making the switch well-suited for high-bandwidth applications. Comprehensive certifications, including EN 50121-4 for railway trackside and NEMA TS-2 for traffic control, further confirm its industrial-grade reliability.
With plug-and-play operation, a 5-year warranty, and ruggedised design, the EKI-2708G-PI delivers cost-effective, high-performance Gigabit networking with integrated PoE+ for critical industrial and outdoor environments.
