Tailored to Your Specific Needs

Availability, reliability, and security are critical to industrial and mission-critical network applications. Moxa provides a vast range of industrial Ethernet switches with a unique mixture of industrial-grade reliability, resiliency and network redundancy, seamless integrated security, and best price-to-performance ratio. The options of rack, panel, and DIN-Rail mounting versions allow users to choose the best possible installation to fit into any application environment. With the continued demands for application-specific Ethernet switches, Moxa's products are designed to meet or exceed the strict requirements of various environmental standards, such as DNV, Class 1 Div. 2/ATEX Zone 2, EN50155, and much more.
Core Competence

Maximum Network Availability and Redundancy

When designing a high availability network, redundancy mechanisms must be implemented to achieve continuous uptime.
Ring/Media Redundancy
Featuring the fastest fault recovery of under 20 ms at a full load of 250 Ethernet switches, Moxa's unique Turbo Ring ensures that your network connection runs non-stop. Various topologies can be configured using Turbo Ring, including ring coupling without a coupling control line, dual rings in a single switch, and dual-homing to provide users with greater flexibility and cost optimization when setting up large-sized redundant networks.

Redundant Power Inputs
A common cause of system failures in industrial networks is power loss. Moxa's switches come with dual redundant power inputs to provide a second power source in case the primary power input fails, assuring maximum network uptime.

SNMP and Web Browser Monitoring

Real time supervision of the network topology is essential for network availability. Moxa offers SNMP and web browser based network management software for remote monitoring and analyzing Ethernet network devices, and overall network traffic and status.

Industry-leading Industrial Reliability
Moxa's industrial Ethernet switches are specially designed for use in industrial environments where a rugged design, long-lasting reliability, and superior RFI/EMI immunity are required to tolerate extreme conditions such as temperature, water, dust, shock, and vibrations. Industrial rugged features include:

High standards for EMI immunity
Fanless design and extended temperatures
Rugged fiber optic connection (multi/single-mode with SC/ST connectors)
Rugged metal enclosures
Conformal coating
Dual redundant power inputs
DIN-Rail/rack mounting options
Vibration, shock, water, and dust-proof design

24-hour dynamic burn-in

Seamlessly Integrated Network Security
Today, security is a vital factor for mission-critical network infrastructure protection. Moxa's Ethernet switches support IEEE 802.1X (port-based network access control) to restrict port access to authorized users only. Authentication is done using the local user database or an external RADIUS server. To further protect data from being intercepted, HTTPS and SSH protocols are supported for transferring encrypted data over the Internet.

Compliant with Various Certification Standards
Moxa's switches are designed in strict accordance with several industry certifications to ensure the operational suitability and safety for application specific situations. Examples include EN50155/50121-4 for rail traffic, NEMA TS2 for road traffic, IEC 61850-3/IEEE 1613 for power substations, DNV/GL for marine and offshore use, ATEX Zone2 Class I Div. 2 for hazardous locations, and much more.
