It provides eight 10\/100 Mbps ports that forward traffic without configuration or management, making it ideal for adding workstations, PLCs, sensors, or cameras to a local network without routing or VLAN setup. As a member of Advantech’s EKI-2000 family, the EKI-2528 is designed for consistent, plug-and-play operation in environments that require basic Ethernet connectivity across multiple devices. The device supports standard Fast Ethernet switching, delivering straightforward port-to-port forwarding and collision handling typical of unmanaged switches. Common applications include factory floor networks, machine automation panels, and data collection nodes where a simple, reliable, non-managed switch is sufficient to extend network reach. With eight ports and no management overhead, it scales easily from small control cabinets to larger layouts by simply connecting devices to the available ports, enabling direct Ethernet access for sensors, controllers, and cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ADVANTECH","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51657039708462,"sku":null,"price":123.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_8fc1d486-4117-4506-8b5c-894e028fd1f1.jpg?v=1769465453","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/advantech-eki-2528-8-port-unmanaged-ethernet-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
