Overview of MOXA IKS-6728A Series

The Moxa IKS-6728A series is an advanced, rack-mountable industrial Ethernet switch designed to deliver high-performance and reliable industrial network infrastructure in mission-critical environments. Engineered for sectors such as railway, marine, Manufacturing, Automation, water and wastewater, and other demanding industrial applications, the IKS-6728A series stands out with its rugged construction and modular design. These Moxa PoE Ethernet switches support versatile network configurations and are ideal for scenarios requiring high port density, data resilience, and integrated power solutions. As part of Moxa’s industrial-grade switch lineup, the Moxa IKS-6728A models offer extensive Ethernet port options and PoE capabilities, which enable both high-speed data communication and power delivery over a single cable. This not only simplifies installation but also reduces infrastructure costs. Equipped with advanced Layer 2 managed Ethernet switch features, the Moxa IKS-6728A ensures efficient traffic management, enhanced network visibility, and robust long-term performance in harsh environments.

MOXA IKS-6728A Series Features

The Moxa IKS-6728A series is loaded with features that enhance performance, ensure network dependability, and minimize downtime. With built-in Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technologies, the switches support network recovery times of less than 20 milliseconds for up to 250 connected switches to facilitate uninterrupted operation during link failures. In addition, support for STP/RSTP/MSTP protocols further strengthens network redundancy and fault tolerance in the IKS 6728A series. Configuration and monitoring are streamlined through MXstudio, Moxa’s user-friendly industrial network management suite, which allows quick setup and troubleshooting. The Moxa IKS 6728A switches are equipped with 1 kV LAN surge protection to guard the network against electrical surges. V-ON™ technology guarantees millisecond-level recovery for multicast traffic and video streams. This particular feature makes the switches well-suited for applications requiring real-time communication, such as surveillance or process control. Designed to withstand extreme environments, there are models among the Ethernet switches that operate across a wide -40 to 75°C temperature range under full 720 W PoE loading. The switch includes eight 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports and 4 Gigabit combo ports to support high-bandwidth communication needs. Its modular design includes two slots for interface modules, which offer flexible port combinations including 10/100BaseT(X), 100BaseFX, 100Base PoE/PoE+, and 100Base SFP. This flexibility ensures easy scalability and customization for diverse deployment needs. Moreover, this series with rackmount Ethernet switch capabilities supports EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET to seamlessly integrate with most industrial automation systems. With an IP30-rated metal housing, wide 24–220 V input voltage range, and robust rackmount design, this series provides the scalability, durability, and reliability required for complex and evolving industrial network infrastructures.
