Reliable Industrial Networking for System Integrators

System integrators often require networking hardware that delivers high reliability, easy deployment, and flexible connectivity options. The VERSITRON SF71060 10‑Port Unmanaged Industrial Switch is designed specifically to meet these needs in industrial environments where performance and durability are essential.

This rugged industrial Ethernet switch provides 8 Gigabit RJ45 copper ports and 2 SFP fiber uplink ports, allowing integrators to connect edge devices while extending networks over long distances using fiber infrastructure. The switch supports both single-mode and multimode fiber through interchangeable SFP modules, enabling deployments in a wide range of industrial environments.

Because it is an unmanaged switch, the device requires no configuration, making it ideal for fast installations in automation networks, surveillance systems, transportation infrastructure, and industrial IoT deployments.

Key Features of the SF71060 Industrial Switch

The switch provides a strong balance of performance, durability, and flexibility for system ...
... integrators building reliable networks.

Core Features

8 × 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports
2 × 100/1000Base-SX/LX SFP fiber uplink ports
Store-and-forward switching architecture for stable data transmission
Auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX support on all RJ45 ports
IEEE 802.3x flow control to reduce packet loss
Support for single-mode or multimode fiber through SFP modules
Fiber distances up to 100 km depending on SFP module

The combination of copper and fiber connectivity allows system integrators to connect field devices locally while extending backbone connections across longer distances.
