Product Information

Full details

The Brainboxes SW-115 is an unmanaged, 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for embedded applications requiring robust performance in harsh environments. Its key benefit lies in its industrial temperature range and redundant power inputs, making it suitable for factory floors, kiosks, and vehicle systems. A minor caveat is its lack of advanced management features, focusing instead on plug-and-play simplicity.

FAQs

What is the maximum power consumption?

The maximum power consumption is 3.6W, which equates to a maximum of 720mA at +5VDC or 120mA at +30VDC.

Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No, the Brainboxes SW-115 does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Can I manage the switch's settings?

No, the SW-115 is an unmanaged switch. It requires no software and operates automatically out-of-the-box with no configurable settings.

What type of power connector does it use?

It uses a removable screw terminal block for power input, accepting a wide DC voltage range from 5V to 30V.

What are the dimensions of the switch?

The switch measures 95 mm in width, 90 mm in depth, and 20 mm in height.

Is the switch suitable for outdoor use?

While it has an extended industrial temperature range, its uncased design means it should be protected from direct environmental elements like rain or heavy dust unless integrated into a suitable enclosure.

What kind of isolation do the Ethernet ports offer?

The Ethernet ports are galvanically isolated, meaning they are magnetically isolated to protect connected devices from electrical surges and ground loops.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Verify the DC power supply voltage is within the 5V to 30V range. Ensure correct polarity is observed on the screw terminal block. Check that the power supply is functioning correctly.

No network connectivity to devices

Confirm all Ethernet cables are securely connected to both the switch and the devices. Check the link/activity LEDs on the switch ports. Ensure the connected devices are powered on and configured for network operation.

Intermittent network drops

Check for potential power supply instability. Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range. Inspect Ethernet cables for damage.

Slow network speeds

Verify that all connected devices and cables support Gigabit speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps). Ensure there are no faulty cables or devices limiting the speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional industrial operating temperature range.
  • Flexible and redundant power input options.
  • Galvanic isolation protects connected equipment.
  • Simple, no-software setup for quick deployment.
  • Compact, uncased design ideal for integration.
  • High-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Cons

  • Unmanaged, lacks advanced network features like VLANs or QoS.
  • No Power over Ethernet (PoE) support.
  • Requires external power supply (not included).
  • Assorted colors may not match specific aesthetic requirements.
  • Uncased design requires protection in some environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The SW-115 is designed for plug-and-play operation. Connect your Ethernet devices to the RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. Power is supplied via the removable screw terminal block. Connect your power source (5V to 30V DC) to the appropriate pins on the terminal block, ensuring correct polarity. The switch will power on automatically.

Compatibility: This is an unmanaged switch, compatible with any device that uses standard Ethernet protocols. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and Auto MDI/MDI-X, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment.

Care: Due to its industrial design, the SW-115 is robust. However, the uncased nature means it should be protected from excessive dust, moisture, or physical impact if the embedded application does not provide this protection. Ensure the power connections are secure. Cleaning can be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
