MOXA EDS-205A Industrial 5-Port Ethernet Switch

MOXA EDS-205A 5-Port Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch for Stable Network Edge

Port Specifications and Switching Performance

• Five RJ45 ports deliver 10/100BaseT(X) connectivity with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X.
• Every port works without manual crossover cables, which speeds up field installation.
• Fiber ports are not available, so this model fits all-copper network segments.
• The 2 K MAC table size handles typical small-scale industrial network address requirements.
• A 0.768 Mbits packet buffer absorbs short traffic bursts and keeps frame loss low.
• Store-and-forward processing validates each frame before forwarding it to the destination port.
• Standard Ethernet protocols cover IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x flow control.
• The switch remains fully unmanaged, so it needs no configuration, management, or redundancy setup.

Electrical Design and Power Protection

• Nominal supply voltage covers 12/24/48 VDC with an operating range of 9.6 to 60 VDC.
• Redundant dual inputs keep the switch running when one power source fails.
• Maximum input current reaches 0.29 A at 24 VDC for predictable power budgeting.
• Overload current protection guards the internal circuitry against excessive current draw.
• Reverse polarity protection prevents damage from incorrect wiring during commissioning.
• Low power draw reduces heat buildup inside sealed control enclosures.

Environmental Limits and Mechanical Construction

• The aluminum housing carries an IP30 protection rating for indoor industrial use.
• Operating temperature ranges from -10 to 60°C for standard industrial environments.
• Storage temperature spans -40 to 85°C with the original package included.
• Relative humidity of 5 to 95% non-condensing covers most factory floor conditions.
• Dimensions measure 30 × 115 × 70 mm, and the unit weighs only 0.175 kg.
• DIN-rail mounting comes standard, and an optional kit enables wall mounting.

Installation Guide

• Mount the switch on a standard DIN rail inside a ventilated control cabinet.
• Connect both power inputs to separate 12/24/48 VDC sources for redundancy.
• Tighten the terminal block screws and confirm the polarity before powering up.
• Plug RJ45 cables into the five ports and check the port LEDs.
• Verify link and activity indicators before joining the switch to the live network.
• Label each cable run to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.

Lifecycle Status and Reliability Notes

• The EDS-205A Series remains a current product with status verified in September 2026.
• MOXA builds this series for long-term industrial deployment and stable spare-part supply.
• The unmanaged design removes firmware complexity and reduces configuration risk.
• The aluminum enclosure improves durability compared with entry-level plastic housings.
