Winmate EACSW 8-Port Fast Ethernet Marine Switch with DIN-Rail and Wall Mounting

Marine control cabinets often need a handful of extra Ethernet ports for sensors, controllers and a local display, and an unmanaged switch is usually the simplest answer when no VLANs or monitoring are required. The EACSW is Winmate’s plug and play marine switch for that job, with eight Fast Ethernet ports and redundant DC power, intended for marine bridge systems, shipboard automation and offshore operations.

Each of the eight RJ45 ports runs at 10/100 Mbps with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X, so straight or crossover cables both work, and Winmate rates each link for 100 m. As an unmanaged switch the EACSW needs no set-up: devices connect and traffic flows, which keeps commissioning quick and leaves nothing to reconfigure after a part swap. Fast Ethernet suits most PLCs, I/O modules, serial servers and instrument gateways, where link speed is rarely the limit.

Power is two redundant DC inputs from 12 to 48 V, which lets the switch run from separate supplies so one failure does not take the segment down. Consumption is 4.71 W, low enough to share a small cabinet supply. Within the Winmate range the EACSW-L2 is the managed version with eight PoE Fast Ethernet ports, two Gigabit copper or SFP combo ports and ring redundancy, and the EACIL20-MR is a small fanless marine computer with dual Gigabit LAN that often shares a cabinet with a switch like this.

The fanless metal shell is rated IP30 and mounts on DIN rail or a wall, in a slim size that fits crowded cabinets. Winmate rates the EACSW from -15 to 55 °C at 5 to 95% humidity, and it carries CE and FCC marks. We supply it tested before dispatch, and can advise on port count, power and how it fits alongside the computers and controllers in your cabinet.
