Six-Port Industrial Switch

The NETGEAR ProSafe SWI5-1G is an unmanaged six-port industrial Ethernet switch built for harsh environments. It delivers up to 12 Gbps switching capacity with four Gigabit RJ45 ports, one RJ45 uplink at 10/100 Mbps and one SFP uplink. The fanless, IP40-rated metal enclosure operates from -40 °C to 85 °C and includes 6 kV lightning resistance for outdoor or factory use.

Verify Cabling And Power Before Installing

Confirm that your devices use RJ45 or SFP interfaces compatible with 10/100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps speeds. The switch supports Passive PoE on its ports, so check whether your powered devices require that standard or active PoE. Ensure you have either the included UL-certified AC adapter or a suitable DC source for the dual-input terminal block with reverse-polarity protection.

Mounts On DIN Rail Or Wall For Compact Builds

Included hardware lets you snap the unit onto a DIN rail or screw it to a wall, saving space inside control cabinets. Dual DC inputs with auto-failover keep the link alive if one supply fails, freeing you from a single-point-of-failure design. Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes pass through without configuration, simplifying integration with existing industrial networks.

Questions about this item

Does the NETGEAR ProSafe SWI5-1G ship with mounting hardware and a power supply, or must I source them separately?

The package contains the switch and a UL-certified power adapter. DIN-rail and wall-mount hardware is included, so no extra brackets or power units are required.

The specs list 16 SFP plus 8 RJ45 primary ports, yet the model is a 6-port unit — which port count applies to this switch?

The SWI5-1G provides six ports in total: four gigabit RJ45 ports, one RJ45 uplink running at 10/100 Mbps, and one SFP uplink for fibre.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 12 Gbps switching capacity when the switch is installed in a cabinet?

The 12 Gbps packet forwarding rate is the aggregate, non-blocking fabric limit. In a hardened cabinet at up to 85 °C the fanless, unmanaged switch sustains that rate across all six ports with 9216-byte jumbo frames.
