The 7160-7GP1GT is a premium unmanaged industrial switch with 7-port 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ and 1-port Gigabit RJ45 uplink port. It supports IEEE 802.3at/af PoE standards, delivering up to 30 W per port for powered devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. The SFP uplink enables long-distance, noise-free fibre connectivity, and the switch offers port-based QoS and industrial QoS to prioritise traffic for critical applications like EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and GOOSE.
Housed in a rugged IP40 metal case, the 7160-7GP1GT operates in extreme temperatures from -10 to 60°C. It features a redundant power supply and alarm relay system for added reliability, while its mini-DIN connector ensures secure attachment even in high-vibration environments. This switch is ideal for industrial networks requiring a cost-effective, high-performance PoE solution.
PoE power supports for high-power devices
The 7160-7GP1GT delivers up to 30 W per port (IEEE 802.3af/at) for PoE+ devices, providing a simple plug-and-play solution for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points. This eliminates the need for additional power outlets or cabling, reducing installation costs and complexity, especially in remote locations.
Intelligent Vlan Passthru
With its VLAN Passthru capability, the 7160-7GP1GT ensures VLAN-tagged frames are transmitted without being altered or dropped. This feature guarantees reliable and consistent data delivery across industrial networks, even in unmanaged setups.
Optimised traffic management
To prevent network congestion, the switch is equipped with Flow and Storm Control mechanisms that regulate excessive traffic. These features ensure smooth data transmission, minimising delays and packet loss while stabilising network performance during high traffic loads.
Industrial protocol priority
The 7160-7GP1GT prioritises critical industrial protocols, including Ethernet/IP, PROFINET and GOOSE, using iQoS (Intelligent Quality of Service). This ensures uninterrupted data flow for mission-critical applications in industrial automation and monitoring systems.
Enhanced network discovery
The LLDP Filter feature prevents device flapping in large networks, ensuring accurate data exchange and minimising false alerts. This capability allows seamless integration with managed switches, while supporting efficient network monitoring and device discovery.
Green Ethernet technology
Designed with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliance, the switch dynamically adjusts power consumption based on data activity levels. This not only reduces energy costs, but also aligns with sustainability goals. Its intuitive design includes visual indicators for real-time monitoring of power usage and switch status.
