MOXA Store and Forward Switch 7 Port Ethernet Switch

This Ethernet switch provides ruggedised, industrial Ethernet connectivity for automation and control networks. Designed for rack mounting, it offers multiple copper ports and supports established Ethernet standards for use in demanding electrical, mechanical and electronics environments where managed packet forwarding and traffic prioritisation are required.

• Seven RJ-45 ports enable multiple device connections and network segmentation
• Store-and-forward switching reduces packet errors and ensures data integrity
• IEEE 802.1p support provides priority tagging for latency-sensitive traffic
• IEEE 802.3u compatibility enables 100BASE-TX connections with legacy devices
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents frame loss during congestion
• Rack-mountable format simplifies integration into control cabinets

• Suitable for distributed I/O aggregation in factory automation
• Ideal for machine-control cabinet network consolidation
• Used for linking PLCs and HMIs in production lines
• Can be used for Ethernet backbone extension in substation control

You can attach seven devices using the RJ-45 ports for direct copper links.

It uses store-and-forward switching, which buffers full frames and checks integrity before forwarding to reduce error propagation.

Priority tagging per IEEE 802.1p and flow control per IEEE 802.3x are implemented to manage latency and prevent packet loss under load.

The unit supports IEEE 802.3u standards, allowing interoperability with 100BASE-TX devices commonly used in existing installations.
