Industrial networks demand more than just connectivity, they require reliability, resilience and intelligent management to keep critical operations running. The Planet IGS-5225-8P4S-12V switch delivers all of this in a compact, rugged and highly efficient design, making it the switch of choice for engineers working in harsh environments.
Equipped with eight Gigabit PoE+ ports and four 1G/2.5G SFP uplink slots, the IGS-5225-8P4S-12V offers exceptional flexibility for mixed copper and fibre deployments. With IEEE 802.3at/af compliance, it delivers up to 30 W per port and a total 240 W PoE budget, eliminating the need for additional power wiring to cameras, access points or sensors.
Engineered for mission-critical uptime,
the switch supports dual redundant
12~56 V DC power inputs, and operates in extreme conditions from -40 to 75°C. Its IP30-rated metal housing is designed to withstand the vibration, shock and electromagnetic interference commonly encountered in industrial plants, transportation systems and mining operations. To meet industry requirements, the IGS-5225-8P4S-12V carries EMI, EMS, FCC Part 15 Class A, CE and EN55032 certifications, and complies with UL61010 and IEC60068 standards for safety and reliability.
Beyond hardware, the switch offers Layer 2+ managed features such as VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping and static routing. Advanced cybersecurity tools (SSH, SSL, RADIUS and MAC/IP filtering) protect networks from unauthorised access, while Intelligent PoE management allows scheduling, monitoring and remote rebooting of connected devices, saving time and operational costs.
For engineers and decision makers looking to futureproof their infrastructure, the Planet IGS-5225-8P4S-12V combines rugged industrial design with intelligent management and proven certification, ensuring stable, secure and cost-effective network performance where it matters most.
