EH2008

EH2008 is an industrial unmanaged Fast-Ethernet switch with 8 RJ-45 ports. It is designed to work in the industrial environment, such

as in hazardous locations that comply with CE, FCC, UL, RoHS and REACH standards.

EH2008 protects itself from receiving too many broadcast packets. During normal use, broadcast packets will be forwarded to

all ports except the source port. However, it will discard broadcast or multicast packets if the of those packets exceeds

a threshold in a preset period of time. The device also embeds an Packet Prioritization feature that is advanced for unmanaged

switches. The switch is able to read the QoS field inside the VLAN tag of the packet, prioritizing those that have to reach the end

device first, even during network congestion. This is vital in Industrial Automation applications that are, for example, Profinet Based.
