The Moxa EDS-405A-T is a compact Layer 2 managed industrial Ethernet switch with 5 Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseT(X)) ports, designed for harsh environments where you still need managed control. Rated for -40 to 75°C operation, it’s ideal for outdoor cabinets and edge deployments that need VLANs/segmentation and stable switching without a larger chassis.
Why We Love This Product
- Managed Layer 2 features give you control and segmentation at the harsh edge
- 5 ports is a great fit for small cabinets, skids, and edge nodes
- -40 to 75°C rating makes it suitable for extreme temperature deployments
- Ideal when unmanaged switching is risky and you need governance for OT traffic
How Our Customers Use It
- Small managed switch for remote panels, roadside cabinets, and outdoor enclosures
- Segmenting OT devices with VLANs to improve stability and security
- Edge deployments that need managed visibility but have limited space
- Creating a controlled “edge node” network that uplinks to a central backbone
Choosing Tips
- Choose EDS-405A-T when you need a compact managed switch and -40 to 75°C harsh temperature tolerance
- If your environment is indoor and moderate, the non-T EDS-405A can be sufficient
- If you need higher bandwidth, consider a Gigabit managed switch rather than Fast Ethernet
