The MAXBES series switch family from MPL is equipped with eight 1 Gb ports and two 10 Gb speed ports. The product is compact and can be used as an open-frame solution or in an MIL housing with connectors of the user’s choice.

The 1 Gb ports are either available as eight RJ45 copper ports or four RJ45 copper ports and four 1 Gb SFPs. For the fibre ports, most Ethernet-compatible transceivers can be used, allowing the user to select the appropriate transceiver for each link. The open-frame version offers lockable headers instead of RJ45. All ports have status LEDs, indicating the activity and speed of each port.

As a managed switch, the product gives access to various switch settings to configure features like quality of service, VLAN, rapid spanning tree, etc. To adjust these switch settings, the company provides an easy-to-use web interface. The power supply input is 8–36 VDC and uses less than 15 W. The device can be operated at -20 to +60°C.

The switch is suitable for any rugged or industrial network applications. Due to the low power consumption and robust and flexible design, it can be used for any embedded system in a rugged, hot or other harsh environment. The device makes it easy to set up a challenging network.
