The NIETZ industrial Ethernet switches are designed for use in diffirent environments and allow you to build cost-effective, reliable, secure industrial networks as unmanaged switch and managed switch. Our extensive range of industrial Ethernet switches and widely used in train, railway, energy, utilities and road applications.
Our unmanaged switches are space-saving, configuration-free and yet customisable, DIN-rail or Rack mounted. 100 Mbps and Gigabit models available across a range of port counts.
They use auto-negotiation to adapt to variable transmission speeds and connector assignments. They support twisted pair cabling (RJ45) or fibre optics in accordance with IEEE 802.3 with SFP interfaces as well as Power-over-Ethernet variants for reduced cabling costs.
Designed for cabinet and machine-side installation, Nietz's unmanaged switches offer rugged construction and industrial-grade power input for stable operation in factories, transportation and outdoor enclosures.
Main Application Areas
• Simple Machine-Level & Standalone Control Panels
• Ideal for small, isolated machine cells or self-contained control panels where devices talk to each other locally without needing complex IT routing or traffic segmentation.
• Favored by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for straightforward machine integration. Automation World +2
• Factory & Industrial Automation
• Connecting basic automation components, PLCs, local sensors, and actuators on the shop floor where high-speed, reliable data passing is needed without administrative overhead. Perle Systems
• Building Automation & Infrastructure
• Space-saving DIN-rail mounted switches (such as those built to DIN 43880 standards) used inside building distribution boards for HVAC, lighting, and security sub-networks. Phoenix Contact
• Harsh & Outdoor Environments
• Deployed in heavy-duty or remote settings like intelligent transportation systems (ITS), marine installations, mining sites, and oil and gas fields where commercial office switches would fail due to temperature or vibration. Perle Systems
• Sub-networks & IP Surveillance
• Linking local clusters of industrial cameras (IPCam), Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, or local wireless access points (using Power over Ethernet / PoE models).
