Sixnet Five Port Industrial Ethernet Switches

Red Lion Sixnet 5-port Ethernet switches deliver industrial connectivity in a compact footprint, supporting both unmanaged and managed network requirements for automation and remote communications. This category includes unmanaged options like Red Lion Controls SLX‑5ES‑2ST and Red Lion Sixnet SL‑5ES‑3STL that combine multiple 10/100Base-TX copper ports with fiber uplinks to extend network reach while maintaining IEEE 802.3 compliance, auto-MDIX, duplex/auto-negotiation, redundant power inputs and wide −40 °C to +60 °C operating ranges for harsh environments. For networks requiring traffic control and visibility, managed switches such as Red Lion Controls SLX‑5MS‑5SC provide advanced features including SNMP (v1/2/3), VLAN support, and QoS. This enables segmentation, diagnostics and resilient ring or mesh topologies in industrial Ethernet systems. Built with high MTBF reliability and surge protected power inputs, these 5-port switches are engineered to sustain continuous Ethernet performance. They work well under the vibration and electrical noise typical of factory floors and process control infrastructure
