The eight RJ-45 copper ports support standard Ethernet, enabling straightforward interconnection of PLCs, sensors, actuators, HMIs, and other automation devices on the factory floor. Powered from 24 VDC with a measured consumption of 3.36 W, its compact form is suitable for tight machine enclosures and DIN rail or panel mounting as part of the Direct-Link lineup from Molex Brad. Designed for harsh industrial environments, the Direct-Link switches emphasize simplicity and reliability: no software configuration is required at install, and the device forwards frames efficiently to help minimize collisions and support deterministic operation in time‑critical networks. The DRL-280 inherits Brad’s emphasis on rugged, industrial Ethernet connectivity, serving as a straightforward backbone or edge switch in machine cabinets, control panels, and embedded automation architectures. With its compact footprint and robust mounting options, it’s a practical choice for expanding Ethernet connectivity in cost‑conscious, space‑constrained industrial deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brad","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":51677238559022,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_48136064-bbdd-43f9-844d-871bf1ca6f14.jpg?v=1769559899","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/industrial-drl-280-industrial-ethernet-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
