AutomationDirect SE2-SW5U-N65-T Ethernet Switch

The AutomationDirect STRIDE SE2-SW5U-N65-T is a rugged, five-port industrial unmanaged Ethernet switch with five M12 10/100Base-T ports for field-installation networks. Housed in a solid metal enclosure with IP65 protection and panel-mount capability, it is designed for harsh environments and washdown applications, rated for -40 to +75°C ambient temperatures. As an unmanaged switch, SE2-SW5U-N65-T offers plug-and-play operation with auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX (auto-crossover) and supports IEEE 802.3i/802.3u/802.3x Ethernet standards, delivering up to 100 Mbps per port with a typical max cable distance of 100 meters. The five M12 connectors are female, D-code, 4-pin interfaces optimized for industrial cabling, and the unit’s STRIDE design emphasizes robust, maintenance-free networking in automation and process-control environments. This model is listed as a discontinued item by AutomationDirect and was superseded in the STRIDE line by SE3-SW5U-N67-T, reflecting the ongoing evolution of their IP65-rated, panel-mount switches. Perfect for rugged machine-automation networks requiring sealed, reliable Ethernet connectivity, SE2-SW5U-N65-T provides straightforward, durable switching without software configuration, making it suitable for field devices, sensors, and controllers requiring dependable 10/100 Ethernet in harsh manufacturing settings.
