The Moxa EDS-608 Series offers compact, modular managed Ethernet switches with up to 8 ports, tailored for demanding industrial automation applications. Its versatile modular design allows users to flexibly configure copper and fiber combinations to match specific network requirements. Thanks to hot-swappable media modules, ongoing operations are not disrupted during replacements.

The switches are equipped with robust redundancy mechanisms, including Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time < 20 ms for up to 250 switches) as well as traditional protocols like STP, RSTP, and MSTP. For secure communication, the EDS-608 Series supports TACACS+, IEEE 802.1X, SSH, and HTTPS.

Network administrators benefit from various management interfaces such as a web browser, CLI, Telnet, serial console, Windows utilities, and Moxa’s ABC-01 backup tool. With support for industrial protocols like EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET, the EDS-608 is ideal for rugged field deployment across sectors like transportation, utilities, and manufacturing.
