Technical Overview

Unmanaged 16-port gigabit rackmount switch with hardware mode toggle for standard, VLAN isolation, and cloning. Fanless metal design with 8K MAC table.

Key Features

16 × 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX support.
Three-mode hardware toggle switch supporting Standard Exchange, VLAN Isolation, and Network Cloning modes.
Hardware VLAN Isolation isolates ports 1–14 from each other to prevent lateral spreading of network threats and packet storms.
Dedicated Network Cloning mode optimized to eliminate latency and buffer congestion during concurrent diskless OS booting.
Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x flow control and half-duplex backpressure flow control prevent packet loss during high-traffic overload.
8K MAC address table depth with automatic MAC address learning and auto-aging.
Standard 1U 19-inch rack-mountable steel case designed for industrial cabinets and server racks.
Fanless cooling design for 100% silent operation and resistance to dust accumulation in harsh edge environments.

Industrial Applications

1. Visual Security Monitoring Segment Protection

Utilizes the switch's physical VLAN Isolation mode to isolate ports 1 to 14 from communicating with each other while directing all traffic to uplinks 15 and 16. This provides a hardwired, secure boundary for IP camera clusters to send video streams to central NVRs without risking lateral hacker migration or camera-to-camera interference.

Problem Solved

Eliminates lateral vulnerability vectors and drastically reduces multicast/broadcast camera noise storms across the local CCTV network without requiring managed switch configuration.

2. Diskless Provisioning and Bulk OS Deployment

Deploys the switch in Network Cloning mode to optimize buffer memory allocation and transmission characteristics across all 16 gigabit ports. This is highly effective in engineering labs, schools, and offices running PXE-based diskless booting from central image servers.

Problem Solved

Prevents bandwidth bottlenecks and buffer congestion during simultaneous bulk network booting/imaging, ensuring stable sub-second PXE handshakes.

3. Dust-Resistant Edge Office Integration

Installed as an edge aggregator within local 19-inch industrial rack cabinets in ambient, non-air-conditioned plant spaces. Its fanless architecture ensures silent, reliable gigabit communication for edge HMI terminals and local office clients.

Problem Solved

Mitigates cabinet dust accumulation and fan mechanical failure points, which are common causes of edge switch degradation in manufacturing environments.
