The Moxa EDS-608 Series consists of compact, modular managed Ethernet switches offering up to 8 ports, designed for industrial automation networks requiring flexible port configurations. The modular design supports hot-swappable copper and fiber modules, allowing for real-time reconfiguration without service interruption. Built-in Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain redundancy (recovery < 20 ms for up to 250 switches) ensure high network availability, while support for STP/RSTP/MSTP adds extra resilience.

Suitable for harsh environments with operating temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C, these switches include a full suite of security and management features such as HTTPS, TACACS+, IEEE 802.1X, and SSH. Comprehensive network management options are available via web GUI, CLI, Telnet, and SNMPv1/v2c/v3. Industrial protocol support includes EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET, making the EDS-608 ideal for automation and mission-critical deployments.
