Sixnet Series Eight Port Industrial Ethernet Switches

Red Lion Sixnet 8-port Ethernet Switches offer industrial networking hardware engineered for reliable performance across demanding automation and control environments. This category includes unmanaged and fully managed 8-port Ethernet switches that support combinations of 10/100BaseTX copper and fiber connectivity for flexible topology design and extended reach. Unmanaged options like Red Lion Controls SL‑8ES‑1 provide plug-and-play operation with auto-sensing speed/duplex, MDIX crossover detection, DIN-rail mounting, industrial-grade enclosures, redundant 10-30 VDC power inputs, and LED indicators for link/activity status to minimize configuration and install time. For enhanced network control, managed switches such as Red Lion Controls SLX‑8MS‑1 offer SNMP management, VLAN/QoS support, advanced traffic monitoring, and redundancy features for scalable, segmented networks. Fully managed industrial models also support wide temperature ranges and high MTBF reliability to ensure continuous operation under harsh conditions. These switches conform to IEEE 802.3 standards and are designed for industrial environments where traffic handling, secure segmentation, and versatility are required for modern automation and process control.
