Available in 68 different models for broad application suitability in the factory automation, power, transportation and marine industries, Moxa’s EDS-4000/G4000 Series managed industrial Ethernet switches enhance industrial network capabilities, improve industrial network security and advance usability in powerful new ways. They help strengthen operational resilience by enabling industrial networks to better resist, absorb and recover from or adapt to adverse conditions. They help futureproof industrial networks against obsolescence, and they simplify usability with an intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that makes it easy for users to configure and manage industrial networks.

Moxa’s new EDS-4000/G4000 Series managed industrial Ethernet switches are available in 68 different models with 8 to 14 ports and multiple interface combinations, including Fast Ethernet (100 Mb/s), Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE), 2.5 GbE, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) and IEEE 802.3bt 90-Watt PoE. They also feature Rapid Spanning Tree and Spanning Tree Protocols (RSTP/STP) as well as Moxa’s proprietary Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain fast network recovery technologies, which achieve redundancy in new and existing networks and reliably exhibit sub-20 ms recovery times at 250 switches to ensure smooth operation. Additional features include a compact housing with LED indicators on two sides for quick and easy status updates and various configurations optimized for confined spaces, a rotatable power module that simplifies installation and maintenance, a wide range of power input options for flexible deployment and MXstudio support for easy installation, operation, maintenance and diagnostics.
