Industrial Interface & Management
- Equipped with RS-485 (Modbus), DI/DO for automation control.
- Provides RJ45 console and USB for local configuration.
- Managed via CLI, web GUI, SNMP v1/2/3, Telnet, RMON, and Ruijie INC/FabricInsight.
Deployment Scenarios
Outdoor Surveillance & Smart Rows
Mount rugged DIN-rail or wall systems on light poles or outdoor cabinets. PoE ports power cameras and APs directly over extended ranges.
Industrial Manufacturing
Deploy in harsh zones prone to dust, vibration, or temperature extremes—common in factories, processing plants, or rail yards.
Energy & Utility Networks
Power substations or solar/wind arrays, with DC supply redundancy and IP55 protection.
Transportation & Infrastructure
Suitable for rail, roadway, campus, or airport deployments—including platform sensors, ticket systems, and signage.
Smart Buildings & Pollution-Prone Zones
Use indoors or outdoors in garages or factories, with protection against dust, moisture, and interference.
Deployment & Management Experience
- Redundancy & Resilience: Dual-power models ensure no single point of failure.
- Stacking Simplicity: VSU automates DNS management and unified switches.
- Long-Reach PoE: Easy installation of cameras or sensors without local power—supports up to 400 m thanks to PoE-REP .
- Passive Cooling: Fanless design ensures zero maintenance in dusty environments.

FAQ – Addressing Real Concerns
Q1: Can this rugged switch really operate in rain or dust-heavy sites?
Yes—the IP55 rating, waterproof design, and robust construction make it fully dust- and splash resistant.
Q2: Do PoE ports deliver over 400 m?
Yes—with PoE-REP support, they can supply IEEE802.3bt power for up to 400 m.
Q3: Is it suitable for solar or DC-powered sites?
Absolutely—DC models with 1+1 redundancy are ideal for field deployment without AC mains.
Q4: How many switches can be grouped in VSU?
Supports up to 9 devices under one IP and one management plane with millisecond failover.
Q5: What routing protocols are supported?
Includes static, RIP, OSPF, VRRP; higher-end units support IS-IS and BGP.
Q6: How resistant is it to surges?
Features >10 kV surge protection and designed for industrial EMI conditions.
