IES6000-4GT2HS – 6-port Gigabit managed switch with 2×2.5G SFP and redundant power input

The IES6000-4GT2HS is a compact, fully managed Layer 2 industrial Ethernet switch designed for stable and high-performance communication in demanding automation, energy and transport applications. It integrates 4 Gigabit copper ports and 2× 2.5G SFP uplink slots, making it suitable for building high-speed fiber backbones and edge aggregation layers in modern industrial networks. Its slim design and DIN-rail mounting ensure convenient installation in control cabinets and distributed systems.

This switch is engineered for environments where communication continuity and redundancy are critical. It supports STP/RSTP/MSTP, ERPS (G.8032), VLAN 802.1Q, QoS, IGMP Snooping, LLDP and aggregation mechanisms such as LACP, enabling smooth traffic prioritization and efficient network organization. With advanced security features like ACL, SSH, HTTPS, Radius and TACACS+, it ensures high-level protection against unauthorized access.

The device features patented Ring technology with a network recovery time of less than 20 ms, providing support for single ring, coupling ring, chain and dual-homing topologies. This guarantees high network availability and minimizes downtime in the event of link or node failures. Additional functions such as Loop Protection and storm suppression prevent broadcast storms and ensure stable operation even in complex installations.

The IES6000-4GT2HS offers a comprehensive management suite: SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, DHCP Server/Relay/Snooping, SSH, HTTPS, Port Mirroring, File Management and extensive diagnostics. Configuration is accessible via WEB GUI, CLI, Telnet and SSH, enabling easy integration with SCADA systems and network management platforms.

Built for harsh industrial environments, the unit uses a robust IP40 metal enclosure and fanless design, ensuring silent operation and long-term durability. It withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to +75°C and offers high EMC immunity in accordance with IEC 61000 standards. This makes it suitable for environments with strong electromagnetic interference such as substations, transport facilities, industrial plants or outdoor communication cabinets.

The switch offers 12–48VDC dual redundant power inputs, reverse-polarity protection and a 5 A over-current safeguard. In case of a power or link failure, the relay alarm output is activated to support quick on-site reaction and minimize downtime.
