Product Description

EDS switches guarantee reliable data communication and provide security, diagnostic and redundancy functions at an outstanding price, setting new standards in cutting long-term operating costs.

The EDS-518E standalone, compact 18-port managed Ethernet switches have 4 combo Gigabit ports with built-in RJ45 or SFP slots for Gigabit fibre-optic communication. The 14 fast Ethernet ports have a variety of copper and fiber port combinations that give the EDS-518E Series greater flexibility for designing your network and application. The Ethernet redundancy technologies Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, and MSTP increase the system reliability and availability of your network backbone. The EDS-518E also supports advanced management and security features.

In addition, the EDS-518E Series is designed specifically for harsh industrial environments with limited installation space and high protection level requirements, such as maritime, rail wayside, oil and gas, factory automation, and process automation.
