B&B Electronics EIR508-T Eight Port Managed Ethernet Switch

The EIR508-T Eight Port Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch from B&B Electronics is a rugged eight-port, 10/100 Mbps managed switch designed for DIN-rail or panel mounting in harsh industrial environments. It provides eight RJ-45 ports with auto MDI/MDI‑X and supports standard enterprise features such as IGMP Snooping, 802.1Q VLAN tagging and port-based VLAN, STP/RSTP, and store-and-forward switching for reliable network operation. Built for reliability, the unit offers dual 12–48 VDC power inputs and an IP30-rated enclosure, with redundancy designed into the EIR500 family’s architecture. Redundant-ring capability (X-Ring) delivers automatic network recovery, typically under 300 ms for EIR500-series devices, enhancing uptime in ring-topology networks. Management is available via SNMP or a Web GUI, and the switch can emit automatic e-mail notifications for system events, with an alarm relay output to signal faults at the device or port level. In addition to its robust hardware, the EIR508-T is tailored for industrial deployments with a wide operating temperature range and DIN-rail or panel-mount installation, making it suitable for factory automation, remote monitoring, and process-control networks where dependable, remotely manageable Ethernet switching is required.
