MOXA EDS-2008-EL Series: Compact Industrial Ethernet Switch for Simple Networks
The MOXA EDS-2008-EL Series is an 8-port entry-level unmanaged Ethernet switch. It comes in a rugged metal housing. This switch is built for simple industrial Ethernet connections. It supports 10/100BaseT(X) with RJ45 connectors. The compact size saves panel space. QoS helps critical data move smoothly in heavy traffic. The IP40-rated metal case suits harsh factory floors. Wide-temperature models run from -40 to 75°C. The series also meets PROFINET Conformance Class A. It is a practical choice for machine builders, system integrators, and automation users who need reliable, low-cost network access.
Why It Stands Out
- Compact and rugged. Small metal body fits tight cabinets.
- Simple setup. DIP switches control QoS and broadcast storm protection.
- Flexible power. Accepts 12/24/48 VDC single input.
- Wide temperature options. Standard models run -10 to 60°C. Wide models run -40 to 75°C.
- Industrial protection. High EMI/EMC performance and reverse polarity protection.
- Proven reliability. 100% burn-in test before shipment.
- PROFINET ready. Compliant with Conformance Class A.

Expert Review
The MOXA EDS-2008-EL Series keeps things simple. It does not need complex setup. The metal case and wide temperature options make it fit real factory work. QoS and BSP DIP switches add useful control without software. For small cells, remote cabinets, and machine networks, this switch offers strong value. It is not a managed switch. It does not offer VLAN or SNMP. Buyers who need basic, tough, and fast Ethernet will find it a solid fit.
Manager’s Insight
This series works best when you need quick deployment and low maintenance. The unmanaged design cuts training time. The 5-year warranty and 100% burn-in test reduce service calls. If your project needs PROFINET CC-A and a small footprint, this model is a smart pick. For larger networks with VLAN or ring control, choose a managed switch instead.

FAQ
Q: What is the main difference between the standard and -T models?
A: The -T models run from -40 to 75°C. Standard models run from -10 to 60°C. Choose -T for cold or hot sites.
Q: Does this switch support VLAN or SNMP?
A: No. It is an unmanaged switch. It does not support VLAN, SNMP, or web setup. It works right out of the box.
Q: How do I enable QoS or BSP?
A: Use the DIP switches on the outer panel. No software is needed. Set them before you install the unit.
Q: Can I use fiber and copper at the same time?
A: It depends on the model. The -M-ST and -M-SC models add multi-mode fiber. The base model offers copper only.
Q: What power input should I use?
A: Use 12/24/48 VDC. The operating range is 9.6 to 60 VDC. The switch supports overload and reverse polarity protection.
Q: How fast will my order ship?
A: We ship in 12-24 hours. We use FedEx, UPS, or DHL. You can track your parcel online.
Q: Is this switch good for PROFINET?
A: Yes. It meets PROFINET Conformance Class A. It suits simple PROFINET networks.
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: The standard warranty is 5 years. A 12-month term is also available per order terms. See the warranty card for details.
Q: Do I need special tools for DIN-rail mounting?
A: No special tools are needed. The metal clip snaps onto standard DIN rail. A wall kit is optional.
Q: How do I choose the right model?
A: Pick copper only for short runs. Pick fiber models for long distance or noise immunity. Pick -T models for extreme temperatures. Check port count, connector type, and power budget before you buy.
Buying Guide
- Count your copper ports first. The base model gives up to 8 ports.
- Check distance. Use fiber models for runs over 100 meters.
- Check site temperature. Pick -T models for -40 to 75°C.
- Confirm power. The switch takes 12/24/48 VDC.
- Match connector type. SC and ST fiber options are available.
- Choose unmanaged if you need simple, fast setup.
- Choose managed if you need VLAN, SNMP, or ring control.
- Order early. We ship in 12-24 hours by FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
