Description
The TRENDnet TI-E50 V2 5-Port Industrial Fast Ethernet DIN-Rail Switch provides dependable Ethernet connectivity for industrial networks and automation environments. Built for installations where temperature variation, vibration and electrical conditions can challenge standard networking equipment, this unmanaged switch combines a rugged IP50-rated aluminum enclosure with a wide operating temperature range.
Five Fast Ethernet Ports
The TI-E50 V2 features five 10/100Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports for connecting industrial controllers, computers, monitoring equipment and other Ethernet-enabled devices. Its 1Gbps switching capacity supports network traffic across all five ports.
Redundant Industrial Power
Two DC power inputs support redundant power connections across a 12–56V DC input range. This arrangement helps reduce the risk of network downtime if one power source is interrupted. Overload current protection is also included. A compatible power supply, such as the TRENDnet TI-M6024, is sold separately.
Rugged IP50 Aluminum Enclosure
The IP50-rated aluminum housing is designed for industrial installations requiring protection against dust ingress. The enclosure is suitable for environments where equipment may be exposed to vibration and shock, subject to the manufacturer's installation and operating conditions.
Reliable Operation in Extreme Temperatures
Designed for demanding industrial conditions, the TI-E50 V2 operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F). Its fanless design provides silent operation without cooling-fan maintenance.
Flexible Industrial Installation
The switch supports DIN-rail and wall mounting, making it suitable for control cabinets, industrial panels and other space-conscious installations. A grounding point and removable terminal block are provided for installation.
