SwitchBlox Industrial

The SwitchBlox Industrial by BotBlox (SKU BB‑SWI‑C‑1) is a rugged yet compact 5‑port Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbps) tailored for industrial, mobile, and space‑ and weight‑sensitive (SWaP) applications. Here's what makes it stand out: * Tiny, robust design: Measures just 38 mm × 38 mm × 9.2 mm and includes four M2 mounting holes, allowing easy integration into tight spaces. * Wide environmental tolerance: Operates over –40 °C to +85 °C and can tolerate up to 9000 psi pressure, suitable for both harsh outdoor and underwater settings. * Flexible power handling: Accepts 6.5–60 V input (reverse/transient protected) and provides a built-in 5 V power bus (2 A capable), with optional passive PoE injection (15 W per port via DIP switch). * Effective network performance: Non‑blocking layer‑2 switch delivers full 100 Mbps bandwidth to all five ports, complete with auto MDI‑X crossover. * Managed switch interface: Certain revisions include an STM32 MCU offering UART-based CLI support (BloxOSLite) for switch management—port speed, VLANs, QoS, and more. * Visual and integration features: It includes an RGB LED, breakout header for port activity LEDs, and ships with cables for instant plug-and-play setup. In summary, the SwitchBlox Industrial is a miniaturized yet powerful managed/unmanaged Ethernet switch built for challenging environments—ideal for robotics, drones, industrial equipment, and maritime or subsea systems.
