🖹 Description
- 10/100BaseT(X) (RJ45 connector), 100BaseFX (multi/single-mode, SC or ST connector)
- Redundant dual 12/24/48 VDC power inputs
- IP30 aluminum housing
- Rugged hardware design well suited for hazardous locations (Class 1 Div. 2/ATEX Zone 2), transportation (NEMA TS2/EN 50121-4/e-Mark), and maritime environments (DNV/GL/LR/ABS/NK)
- -40 to 75°C operating temperature range (-T models)
The EDS-208A Series 8-port industrial Ethernet switches support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u/x with 10/100M full/half-duplex, MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. The EDS-208A Series has 12/24/48 VDC (9.6 to 60 VDC) redundant power inputs that can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. These switches have been designed for harsh industrial environments, such as in maritime (DNV/GL/LR/ABS/NK), rail wayside, highway, or mobile applications (EN 50121-4/NEMA TS2/e-Mark), or hazardous locations (Class I Div. 2, ATEX Zone 2) that comply with FCC, UL, and CE standards.
Industrial Ethernet Switch – Moxa EDS-208A V2.0
This is an industrial Ethernet switch, specifically the EDS-208A V2.0 from Moxa.
What it is
A rugged 8-port Ethernet switch designed for industrial networking applications.
It is used to interconnect multiple devices within a local area network (LAN) in harsh environments such as factories and control panels.
Built for reliability, stability, and continuous operation.
What it does
- Connects multiple devices such as:
o PLCs
o HMIs
o PCs / SCADA systems
o Cameras and sensors
o Drives and controllers - Enables:
o Real-time data exchange
o Network communication between devices
o Integration of automation systems
Acts as the central communication point in industrial networks.
Key features
- 8 Ethernet ports (RJ45)
• Industrial-grade metal housing
• DIN rail mounting for panel installation
• Terminal power input (industrial supply)
• High reliability and long-term operation
• Designed for harsh environments (temperature, vibration, EMI)
How it works (simple)
- Devices connect via Ethernet cables
- The switch receives incoming data
- It forwards each packet to the correct device
- All connected equipment communicates efficiently
Ensures stable and fast communication across the system.
Where it’s used
- Industrial automation systems
• SCADA and monitoring platforms
• Factory and production networks
• Energy and utility systems
• Control panels and cabinets
Difference vs previous switch
| Switch | Ports |
| Korenix JetNet 2005 | 5 ports |
| This (Moxa EDS-208A) | 8 ports |
Same functionality, but supports more connected devices.
Advantages
- More connection capacity (8 ports)
• Reliable operation in industrial environments
• Easy DIN rail installation
• Compact and durable design
• Low maintenance
Important notes
- Requires proper industrial power supply
• Unmanaged switch (no configuration needed)
• Ideal for simple and stable network setups
Example
You can connect:
• PLC
• HMI
• SCADA PC
• Drive
• Sensor gateways
All through this single switch, enabling full system communication.
Simple explanation
It’s a “network hub for industrial systems”, allowing multiple devices to connect and communicate reliably over Ethernet—this version simply supports more devices (8 ports instead of 5).
