Introduction
The EDS-2018-ML series of industrial Ethernet switches have sixteen 10/100M copper ports and two 10/100/1000BaseT(X) or 100/1000BaseSFP combo ports, which are ideal for applications that require high-bandwidth data convergence. Moreover, to provide greater versatility for use with applications from different industries, the EDS-2018-ML Series also allows users to enable or disable the Quality of Service (QoS) function, broadcast storm protection, and port break alarm function with DIP switches on the outer panel. The EDS-2018-ML Series has 12/24/48 VDC redundant power inputs, DIN-rail mounting, and high-level EMI/EMC capability. In addition to its compact size, the EDS-2018-ML Series has passed a 100% burn-in test to ensure it will function reliably in the field. The EDS-2018-ML Series has a standard operating temperature range of -10 to 60°C with wide-temperature (-40 to 75°C) models also available.
