The Moxa EDS-408A is a Layer 2 managed industrial Ethernet switch with 8 Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseT(X)) ports, designed for OT networks that need control, segmentation, and predictable behaviour. With a -10 to 60°C operating range, it’s a strong choice for industrial indoor environments where managed features are required to keep networks stable and secure.
Why We Love This Product
- Layer 2 managed capabilities help segment and control OT traffic (vs unmanaged “flat” networks)
- 8 x 10/100 ports are ideal for many industrial control and monitoring devices
- -10 to 60°C rating suits typical cabinet and indoor plant deployments
- Great fit when reliability and network governance matter more than raw bandwidth
How Our Customers Use It
- Building segmented OT networks for PLCs, HMIs, RTUs, and monitoring systems
- Adding VLANs and traffic control to improve stability and reduce broadcast noise
- Creating cleaner architectures for SCADA and industrial control cabinets
- Improving troubleshooting and manageability compared to unmanaged switches
Choosing Tips
- Choose EDS-408A when you need managed Layer 2 features and 8 x 10/100 ports
- If your environment is harsh/outdoor, choose a wider temperature-rated variant where applicable
- If you need Gigabit bandwidth for cameras or high-throughput edge devices, consider a Gigabit managed switch instead of 10/100
