The Moxa EDS-408A Series includes rugged 8-port managed Ethernet switches designed for industrial environments that require reliability, redundancy, and integration with industrial protocols. With Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, VLAN support, IGMP Snooping, and QoS, these switches are ideal for demanding automation and control applications.

Depending on the model, switches include up to three fiber ports using SC or ST connectors, available in multi-mode or single-mode. PROFINET and EtherNet/IP models are factory-configured for seamless integration into Siemens or Rockwell systems. Management is simple via web browser, CLI, Telnet, or ABC-01 module, and MXstudio provides visual network control.
