Embedded Ethernet Switches

Board-Level Ethernet Switches for OEM Systems

An embedded Ethernet switch puts a managed network inside the product itself, so a vehicle, robot or rugged enclosure carries its own switching without a separate box. Choose a standalone switch board with latching connectors, or a compact switch module that mounts on a carrier board you design, from eight gigabit ports up to 28 with 10G uplinks.

Options include Layer 2+ and Layer 3 software, IEEE-1588 PTP and TSN builds, PC/104 boards for stacked systems, heat sinks or heat spreaders and -40 to 85 °C operation, suited to military vehicles, unmanned systems and rail equipment where shock, vibration and wide supply ranges rule out commercial switches.

Speak to an embedded networking specialist to match the port count, software and form factor to your design.

Not sure which range fits? Tell us the application and we will recommend the right model.

What to Specify in a Board-Level Switch

Our embedded networking specialists work through these choices with you before recommending a board or module.

Board or Module

A board runs as a complete switch; a module needs your carrier but saves space and design time.

Ports and 10G Uplinks

From eight gigabit ports to 24 plus four 10G links for camera and sensor traffic.

Layer 2+ or Layer 3

Layer 2+ covers VLANs, QoS and redundancy; Layer 3 adds routing between subnets.

PTP and TSN Timing

IEEE-1588 and TSN builds keep sensors and computers on one clock for time-critical data.

Shock, Vibration and Cooling

Latching connectors, thicker boards and heat sinks or spreaders for vehicles and sealed enclosures.

Temperature and Power

-40 to 85 °C operation and wide DC inputs on the boards; 5 V supplied by your carrier on the modules.
