Provides simple, robust networking with Gigabit speed and low power consumption.

Anybus Unmanaged L2 Switch

Item number AWB5001-B

The Anybus Unmanaged L2 Switch creates simple and robust data networks in harsh industrial settings. With Gigabit throughput and ultra-low power consumption, it’s ideal for small networks where reliable and basic connectivity meets application requirements.

Features and benefits

  • High-Speed 8-port Gigabit switch 

    Optimal network performance with 8 Gigabit ports featuring auto-negotiation for rapid data transfers.

  • Efficient MAC address management  

    A 4k MAC address table enables you to efficiently manage devices within your network.

  • Jumbo Frame support 

    Supports 9 kB Jumbo Frames, allowing for the efficient transfer of large amounts of data. 

  • Quality of Service (QoS) and VLAN support

    IEEE 802.1p QoS and 802.1Q VLAN support enables you to prioritize and segregate network traffic effectively, ensuring optimized performance for critical applications. 

  • Broadcast storm protection 

    Built-in broadcast storm protection prevents disruptions caused by excessive broadcast traffic. 

  • Non-blocking switch fabric 

    Efficiently handles simultaneous data transfers between all ports without bottlenecks or slowdown. 

  • Energy-efficient power management 

    Complies with IEEE 802.3az EEE, providing ultra-low power consumption (max 2.6W). The idle power-saving mode and support for dual power supply further reduce power usage. 

  • Dual power supply support 

    Support for dual power supplies ensures uninterrupted network operation.

  • DIN-Rail mounting  

    DIN-rail mounting enables you to install the switch close to connected devices, thereby reducing wiring requirements.

  • Industrial design  

    Withstands harsh environments thanks to its IP40-rated enclosure and wide operating temperature range.
