The Moxa EDS-316 is a 16-port unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch built for simple, reliable Fast Ethernet fan-out in control cabinets and plant networks. With a -10 to 60°C operating range and a relay output warning function, it’s a solid option when you want lots of ports and basic fault notification without managed-switch complexity.
Why We Love This Product
- 16 ports gives you serious density for cabinet builds and device-heavy panels
- Unmanaged = fast deployment and low configuration risk
- Relay warning output supports basic fault/alarm wiring into monitoring systems
How Our Customers Use It
- Connecting many PLCs, HMIs, IO modules, and gateways in one cabinet
- Fast Ethernet distribution in industrial cells and small plant zones
- Relay alarm into SCADA/BMS for quick “something’s wrong” visibility
Choosing Tips
- Choose EDS-316 when you need high port count (16) and simple unmanaged switching
- If you need VLANs/segmentation and traffic control, choose a managed switch instead
- If you need Gigabit for cameras or higher throughput, choose a Gigabit switch model
