Moxa Introduces New Lineup of Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches to Help Expand Reliable Networks With Ease

Taipei, Taiwan April 14, 2020—Moxa, a leader in industrial communications and networking, has introduced the EDS-2000-EL and EDS-2000-ML Series to create a new lineup of industrial unmanaged Ethernet switches with options for 5 to 18 ports and Gigabit combo ports to reliably connect more nodes and at higher bandwidths. The newly launched industrial unmanaged Ethernet switches, featuring Quality of Service (QoS) and Broadcast Storm Protection (BSP) by DIP switch, also allow field-site engineers to easily expand reliable networks with plug-and-play simplicity.

The more data points you can connect, the more insights you can leverage. Therefore, the need for rapid and reliable network expansion is crucial to enhancing operational efficiency for industrial applications. With their compact design and rich features that enhance reliability, the EDS-2000-EL and EDS-2000-ML Series are ideal for a variety of industrial applications. The EDS-2000-EL Series is an entry-level unmanaged switch for general automation that is almost as small as a credit card so it can fit in any industrial cabinet, but is still jam-packed with feature sets, such as QoS and BSP, to ensure reliable Ethernet connectivity. With the same features as the EDS-2000-EL Series, the EDS-2000-ML Series is a mainstream-level unmanaged switch for mission-critical automation that is designed with greater versatility, instant relay alarms, flexible mounting options, and dual power inputs to ensure greater reliability in the field. Furthermore, the EDS-2000-ML Series will also comply with various industrial certifications* for applications in key vertical markets.
