8-Port 10/100 

Ethernet Switch 

 

 

Description 

ModeI

 EIP308 

is an 8-port 10/100 switch designed for the not-so-friendly industrial environment. The unit is housed in a 

rugged metal enclosure ready to be mounted on a DIN rail or panel. The switch is an unmanaged Layer 2 switch that 
provides auto MDI/MDIX crossover for easy plug-and-play applications. 

 

LEDs indicate power, speed and link/activity for easy visual diagnostics. External power supply is connected to three 2-
position pluggable terminal blocks. A 9-30 VDC is the main power supply input. It also has a redundant 9-30 VDC for 
secondary DC source. If that is not enough, 24 VAC yields the third option for power supply. B&B Electronics’ power supply 
model 12DC1AST (9-30 VDC @ 1000mA) is required, not included.

Connections 

Standard RJ45 female connectors are provided. Standard RJ45 plug cables are all that is necessary to connect your 

devices since the switch supports auto crossover. External power supply is connected using one of the three 2-position 

pluggable terminal blocks for convenience. Table 1 shows the RJ45 pinouts and Table 2 shows the LED indicators.
