Overview

INS-8408E is an unmanaged 8-port, 10/100/1000 RJ45 downlink industrial switch for communication between controllers and devices in automation settings with Premium features. The device can be used with multi-axis robots and their peripherals such as PLCs, HMIs, and legacy devices. Additionally, it offers auto-negotiation on all its ports to aggregate devices easily in industrial Ethernet applications. The switch offers various in-built traffic optimization and network performance features to prioritize important industrial data packets. The switch offers in-built traffic optimization to have stable performance and prevents packet loss by transporting VLAN packets without modifying them. Additionally, it prioritizes data with industrial QoS priority for Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and GOOSE packets.

This switch is built with industrial-grade components, enclosed in IP40 metal to protect the device from tools and hazards. Designed to withstand vibration, shock, free fall, interference, and temperatures ranging from -40℃~75℃ (-40°F~167°F) it suits extreme industrial environments.

Features

Ruggedized Components Designed for Harsh Industrial Environments
Built with industrial-grade components, good thermal conductivity, and enclosed in an IP40 metal case, this Ethernet switch is resistant to extreme environments, vibration, EMI (electromagnetic interference), ESD (electrostatic discharge), power surge, over-voltage, over-current, and reverse polarity. It withstands operation at extreme temperatures between -40°C~75°C (-40°F~167°F). It follows international safety standards like CE, FCC, and ROHS for safe operation.
 


Quick and Convenient Installation with Auto-negotiation
INS-8408E works as soon as it is connected and makes installation convenient. One 12~48VDC power supply connects to the 3-pin terminal block for power. The 10/100/1000 Mbps ports use MDI/MDI-X connection for auto-negotiation to work as soon as connected to other network devices at the required speed without extra software installation needed. The LED light displays when the device is in operation. The slim and small design allows it to fit at different locations for many devices to operate in the same network and can be mounted to a standard TH35 DIN rail.
 


Traffic Control Mechanisms to Optimize Bandwidth Usage
Traffic control mechanisms regulate excessive traffic to avoid delay, data loss and connection issues between devices. INS-8408E offers mechanisms such as Flow and Storm Control that prevent devices from overwhelming each other during the exchange of data and to keep the flux at a tolerable rate, hence keeping devices working within their capacity and avoiding the network from collapsing.
 


Intelligent VLAN Data Forwarding
INS-8408E is aware enough to read the source and destination of VLAN tagged data packets. This unmanaged switch delivers VLAN packets without changing or dropping them assuring operational data in industrial fields is delivered safely across devices.
 


Critical Data Transmission Priority
INS-8408E streamlines the execution of time-sensitive applications with the 802.1p Tag QoS by classifying data into high and low priority. Mission-critical applications in industrial automation like manufacturing and monitoring can be done without delay through port priority on ports #1 and #2 even during high traffic.
 


Prioritizes Industrial Standard Protocols
Industrial automation applications employ packet protocols that focus on delivering data under tight time constrains. This unmanaged switch is configured with iQoS to prioritize industrial application protocols and deliver time-sensitive data used in industrial applications first, including Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events).
 



Connects Large Network Groups and Facilitates Data for Monitoring Systems
During network discovery unmanaged switches can cause device flapping and make it difficult for monitoring systems to access device data. INS-8408E avoids device flapping when connected to a managed switch. Using the LLDP Filter feature the device can be used in large networks. It allows other devices in the network to exchange identifiable data for accurate monitoring without concerns from detecting erroneous messages and false alerts in the presence of an unmanaged switch.


Reliable IP40-Rated Industrial Switch for Critical Environments
The IP40-rated industrial switch is designed to deliver dependable performance in critical environments where protection against solid particles is essential. Its durable enclosure shields the device from dust, debris, and electromagnetic interference, ensuring smooth operation in high-demand settings such as factories, control rooms, and mission-critical facilities. The switch provides robust protection against objects larger than 1 millimeter. With features like wide temperature tolerance, this industrial switch is ideal for maintaining uninterrupted data transmission in challenging, high-stakes environments
