Industrial PoE+ Switch

The Brainboxes SW-525 is a DIN rail mounted network switch with five RJ45 ports operating at 10/100 Mbps. Ports one through four deliver PoE+ power compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at, providing a total budget of 90W at 70°C. It accepts redundant 44V to 57V DC inputs with reverse polarity protection and operates from -40°C to +70°C.

Suitable Applications

This switch suits industrial networks that need to power cameras, wireless access points, or sensors over Ethernet cable in harsh environments. The wide temperature range and redundant DC inputs support continuous operation in cabinets or outdoor enclosures. Installations requiring gigabit throughput, fibre uplinks, or AC mains power should look at other models.

Deciding Specification

The 90W PoE+ budget at the maximum operating temperature of 70°C determines how many powered devices can connect simultaneously. Each port can supply up to 30W, so the total draw of all attached equipment must stay within the 90W limit to avoid overload.

Questions about this item

What speeds does the 10/100Mbps RJ45 interface actually cap at?

Each of the five RJ45 ports negotiates to 10Mbps or 100Mbps full duplex; there is no gigabit capability.

What physical mounting does the DIN rail format require?

The unit measures 4.70" x 3.90" x 0.40" and clips onto a standard DIN rail inside a cabinet or enclosure.

How is the redundant 44V-57V DC power wired, and what step is often missed?

Connect two independent supplies to the dual terminals observing polarity; the reverse-polarity protection only works if the positive and negative leads are not swapped.
