Complete List of Industrial Switch Models Chart

Industrial switches include unmanaged, managed, PoE, rackmount, and specialized models from leading vendors like Moxa, Cisco, and FS, designed for harsh industrial environments.

Key Industrial Switch Categories

1. Unmanaged Switches

• Plug-and-play devices requiring no configuration
• Suitable for small networks or low-management scenarios
• Examples: Moxa EDS series, Cisco IE2000 compact switches 2. Managed Switches
• Offer configuration, monitoring, and advanced network management
• Support VLANs, QoS, redundancy protocols, and security features
• Examples: Moxa IKS series, Cisco IE4000/5000 series, FS IE series 3. PoE (Power over Ethernet) Switches
• Provide power to connected devices like IP cameras, sensors, and access points
• Examples: Moxa EDS-P series, Cisco IE3300 PoE, FS PoE-enabled industrial switches 4. Rackmount Switches
• Designed for centralized network racks in industrial control rooms
• Examples: Moxa IKS-6728 series, Cisco IE5000 modular rackmount switches 5. EN 50155 / Railway Switches
• Built for rail industry applications with vibration, shock, and temperature tolerance
• Examples: Moxa EDS-5000 series, Cisco IE5000-EN series 6. Layer-Specific Switches
• Layer 2: Forward frames based on MAC addresses; low latency; suitable for local device interconnection
• Layer 3: Include routing functions; support multiple subnets and VLANs
• Layer 4: Manage traffic based on transport layer ports; ideal for SCADA or energy systems requiring bandwidth prioritization
