UK Ethernet Switch Boards
Standalone Switch Boards for Vehicles and Enclosures
An Ethernet switch board is a complete managed switch on a single rugged board: it runs from power-up, needs no host computer and mounts inside a vehicle, rack or sealed enclosure. Sizes run from small Femto-ITX boards to PC/104 stacks and 3.5 inch-class boards, with eight to 28 ports and 10G SFP+ uplinks on the larger designs.
Options include Layer 2+ and Layer 3 software, IEEE-1588 PTP and TSN builds, SFP fibre sockets, latching I/O connectors, heat sinks or heat spreaders and wide-range DC input, suited to military vehicles, rail equipment and unmanned systems where commercial switches cannot take the shock, vibration or temperature.
Speak to an embedded networking specialist to match the ports, software and board size to your enclosure.

Ethernet Switch Board Ranges Supplied by Things Embedded
We work with a leading manufacturer of rugged Ethernet switch boards, so the ranges below are the ones we specify for vehicle, defence and embedded systems. Compare them by size, ports and software, then browse the models above or ask an embedded networking specialist which board suits your enclosure.

Not sure which range fits? Tell us the application and we will recommend the right model.
What to Specify in a Board-Level Ethernet Switch
An Ethernet switch board mounts inside your enclosure as a complete managed switch, which suits vehicles and rugged systems with no room for a separate box. These are the points to check before you choose one.
Port Count and SFP
Eight, 12, 16 or 24 gigabit ports, with SFP or 10G SFP+ sockets for fibre runs and backbone links.
Management Software
Layer 2+ for VLANs, QoS and redundancy, or Layer 3 where traffic must route between subnets.
IEEE-1588 and TSN
IEEE-1588 PTP and TSN builds suit sensor fusion and control networks that need one shared, precise clock.
Rugged Construction
Latching connectors and heat sink or heat spreader options cope with shock, vibration and conduction cooling.
Wide DC Input
Wide-range DC supplies on the boards cope with vehicle and battery power, including dips during engine start.
Temperature Range
-40 to 85 °C operation on many boards suits sealed vehicle enclosures and unheated equipment bays.
