Industrial Switches

Industrial switches are Ethernet network switches built for harsh, edge or outdoor environments. This page holds Ruijie industrial PoE switches with SFP uplinks and IP40 enclosures, two IP65 Ruijie outdoor switches, and AMG Systems models: an unmanaged 5-port PoE switch and a fully managed rack or desktop switch with 24 SFP and 4 SFP+ ports. Their uses include CCTV and industrial networks.

Choosing Industrial Switches

Count the devices first, then check mounting and management.

Compact PoE switches for cameras and edge devices

The Ruijie RG-NIS2100-4GT2SFP-HP and RG-NIS3100-4GT2SFP-HP have four Gigabit PoE ports and two SFP uplinks, and the RG-NIS2100-8GT2SFP-HP has eight Gigabit PoE ports and two SFP uplinks. On the RG-NIS2100-8GT2SFP-HP, port 1 is PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) for devices needing up to 90 W, ports 2–8 give up to 30 W, and the default PoE budget is about 228 W, adjustable up to 300 W. The AMG350-4GAT-1G-P120 is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch with four 802.3af/at PoE ports, one Gigabit RJ45 uplink and a PoE budget of about 120 W.

Built for harsh sites

The Ruijie RG-NIS2100 models and the RG-NIS3100-4GT2SFP-HP have IP40 aluminium housings and mount on a DIN rail or a wall, and the RG-NIS2100 models have 6 kV surge protection. The AMG350-4GAT-1G-P120 and RG-NIS2100-4GT2SFP-HP are rated for −40°C to +75°C operation, while the AMG510-4G-24S-4XS is light-industrial, rated −10°C to +60°C for edge or non-data-centre installations.

Managed fibre switching

The AMG510-4G-24S-4XS is a fully managed Layer-2+ switch with 4 Gigabit RJ45 ports, 24 SFP ports and 4 SFP+ ports that run at up to 10G. It adds RSTP/MSTP, ERPS, LACP, VLANs, IGMP snooping, 802.1x and static Layer-3 routing, managed by web GUI, CLI or SNMP v1–v3. The AMG510-4G-24S-4XS takes 100–240 VAC mains with a 12–48 VDC backup input, and its SFP and SFP+ transceivers are ordered separately.

Management and power

The RG-NIS2100 models have ERPS ring protection. The RG-NIS3100-4GT2SFP-HP takes dual redundant 12–56 V DC inputs and has an alarm relay output for power failure monitoring, the AMG350-4GAT-1G-P120 has dual redundant DC inputs on a removable terminal block, and the RG-NIS2100-4GT2SFP-HP comes without a power adapter.

Frequently asked questions

Where are industrial network switches used?

Industrial network switches are used where an ordinary office switch would struggle, such as factories, roadside cabinets, rail sites, utilities and outdoor CCTV. They are built to cope with heat, cold, dust and vibration, and many mount on a DIN rail inside a control cabinet. The range here includes DIN-rail, wall-mount and rack-mount industrial switches.

Can an industrial switch supply PoE?

Yes, many industrial switches supply PoE, powering cameras, wireless access points and other devices over the network cable. Check the total PoE budget against the combined draw of the connected devices, and whether any port needs PoE+ or a higher class. Some outdoor models carry an IP65 rating for exposed locations. The range here includes industrial PoE switches with SFP fibre uplinks.

What is an industrial switch?

An industrial switch is a network switch built for harsh environments, linking cameras, controllers and sensors on an Ethernet network. Compared with an office switch, it typically has a tougher housing, a wide operating temperature range and redundant power inputs. Many are managed and have fibre ports for long cable runs. The range here includes managed switches from AMG Systems and Ruijie.
