Ethernet Switches

From ultra-compact 5 and 8-port models that take up less than an inch in your crowded cabinet, to 26-port rack mount models for complex applications, we’ve got you covered. Most of our switches have options like single and multi-mode fiber optic ports, and wide operating temperatures for use in hot enclosures and sun-baked installations. We even add redundant power inputs so you can add a back-up power supply to keep your connections up and running. We also have Gigabit, Power-over Ethernet (PoE) and sophisticated management options.

Diamond Systems

Diamond Systems offers a variety of rugged, small form factor, managed Layer 2+ Ethernet switches with features that support a breadth of applications.  Diamond Ethernet switches support transportation, medical, aerospace and defence and other applications found in the harshest environments. All I/O connectors on the switches are latching, providing enhanced reliability over the RJ-45 connectors used in commercial Ethernet switches. A 50% thicker PCB provides better protection against vibration in vehicle environments. The -40ºC to +85ºC operating range makes DSC Ethernet switches suitable for use in outdoor and vehicle applications.

Diamond’s Ethernet switches are standalone and do not require any host computer interface. All switch functions are managed by a microprocessor embedded directly into the switch. The processor is accessed via an in-band web interface over one of the Ethernet ports or via an out-of-band command-line interface over an RS-232 serial port. The integrated web interface provides an intuitive GUI for use in configuring and managing all switch functionality. On-board memory holds dual application images, boot code, MAC addresses, and other parameters, and can also be used for program execution.

Diamond Systems’ innovative Ethernet switch boards include automatic power savings via two unique features. The switches can detect unused Ethernet ports on network devices and power them down or place them in stand-by mode. Additionally, the switch actively adjusts the power level needed based on cable length, saving energy on links shorter than the 100m maximum specified length. Input power is provided through the built-in, wide-range power supply, enabling operation using industrial power sources.
