Product Information

Full details

The Brainboxes SW-595 is a robust 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for demanding industrial environments, offering a future-proof solution with an SFP uplink port for extended-distance connectivity. Its key benefit lies in its versatility, supporting PoE+ for simplified device power and data transmission, combined with a plug-and-play design requiring no software. A potential caveat is that SFP modules for the uplink port are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for fiber or specific copper connections.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of SFP modules are compatible with the SW-595?

The SW-595 supports standard SFP modules, allowing for various fiber optic (multimode, single-mode) and copper (RJ45) connections. You will need to select an SFP module that matches your specific cable type and distance requirements.

Does the SW-595 require any software configuration?

No, the Brainboxes SW-595 is an unmanaged switch and features a plug-and-play design. It requires no software installation or configuration for basic operation.

What is the operating temperature range for this switch?

The SW-595 is designed for industrial use and operates reliably within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).

Can I power devices like IP cameras using this switch?

Yes, the switch features PoE+ (802.3at) capability, allowing it to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled equipment.

What is the power input requirement for the SW-595?

The switch requires a DC power input within the range of +44V to +57V DC. It features redundant dual power inputs for enhanced reliability.

How does the SFP uplink port benefit my network?

The SFP uplink port provides flexibility for high-speed data transfer over extended distances, typically used to connect to fiber optic networks or other switches using different cable types than the standard copper ports.

Is this switch suitable for a marine environment?

Yes, the SW-595 is designed for industrial, factory floor, vehicle, and marine applications, indicating its suitability for the challenging conditions often found in marine settings.

Troubleshooting

Switch not powering on

Verify that the DC power supply is connected correctly and is within the specified voltage range (44V-57V DC). Ensure the power source is functional.

No network connectivity to devices

Check that all Ethernet cables are securely plugged into both the switch and the connected devices. Ensure the SFP module is correctly seated and compatible with the uplink.

PoE+ devices not receiving power

Confirm that the connected devices are PoE+ compliant and that the switch's total PoE power budget is not exceeded. Verify the device is connected to a PoE-enabled port.

Intermittent network drops

Inspect all cables for damage. Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature range. Check for potential interference from other electronic devices.

SFP uplink not recognized

Ensure the SFP module is compatible with the SW-595 and is fully inserted into the SFP port. Try reseating the SFP module or testing it in another compatible device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Future-proofs network infrastructure with SFP uplink capability.
  • Simplifies installations with PoE+ power delivery.
  • Easy to deploy with plug-and-play functionality.
  • Reliable performance in extreme temperature environments.
  • Enhanced system uptime due to redundant power inputs.
  • Versatile connectivity options with SFP support.

Cons

  • SFP uplink modules are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires DC power input within a specific voltage range (44V-57V).
  • No advanced managed switch features for complex network configurations.
  • Limited number of standard Ethernet ports (4) compared to some alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect standard Ethernet devices to the 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports.
  2. Install an appropriate SFP module (sold separately) into the SFP uplink port.
  3. Connect the SFP module to the uplink network or device using compatible cabling.
  4. Connect a DC power supply within the 44V to 57V range to one of the dual power input terminals.
  5. The switch is now ready for operation; no software installation is required.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with any standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE-enabled devices.
  • Supports all standard Ethernet network protocols.
  • Requires specific SFP modules for different cable types (e.g., multimode/single-mode fiber, RJ45 copper). Ensure the chosen SFP module matches your network requirements.

Care:

  • Keep the switch in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid exposing the switch to excessive moisture, dust, or corrosive substances beyond its rated industrial specifications.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check power connections and network cables for secure attachment.
