Westermo has introduced a new line of user-friendly and compact unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches, offering reliable solutions for expanding data networks. The SandCat series, featuring five-port fast Ethernet switches, presents a cost-effective, plug-and-play option for industrial applications, complementing our existing range of managed switches. With support for 100 Mbit/s, these adaptable devices are crafted to address the growing demands for network complexity, reliability, and bandwidth in the utilities, marine, manufacturing, and energy sectors.


The SandCat switches offer a budget-friendly solution for connecting multiple end devices to the network, with the added advantage of a fibre port enabling communication over larger distances or across different sites. While managed switches are commonly used to enhance configuration and security, the SandCat series excels in extending the port count of managed switches, accommodating more end devices. Furthermore, they can be used to establish a physical topology for optimal redundancy, remote access, or as a simple switch in factory automation systems.


Designed for mission-critical applications, the SandCat series supports DIN rail mounting in harsh industrial environments, facilitating Ethernet connections between drives, inverters, HMIs, PLCs, and I/O units. These switches meet EMC, isolation, vibration, and shock standards, enabling installation in challenging industrial settings. With an IP30 grade metal housing, operating temperature ranging from -40°C to 75°C, wide power input range, multiple small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver options, and extensive industry approvals and certifications, they offer maximum application flexibility.


Rasmus Sjöström, Product Manager at Westermo, highlighted, "The SandCat is a high-quality, unmanaged switch series known for its unparalleled reliability, simplicity, and performance. Versatile SFP options and a comprehensive range of industry certifications ensure maximum application flexibility, addressing the expanding size and complexity of data networks.
