As industrial automation applications continue to evolve, OT architectures require enhanced networking capabilities and network security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRecently, we have observed that our customers find it more challenging to connect their devices while fulfilling a variety of requirements for critical infrastructure,\u201d said Gary Chang, Product Manager at Moxa Networking Co. Ltd. \u201cCritical infrastructure requires advanced networking solutions that strengthen operational resilience and futureproof networks. Our EDS-4000\/G4000 Series portfolio of switches transforms the networking-evolved concept into tangible networking capabilities in order to empower our customers to build secure, reliable, and high-bandwidth industrial networks with ease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strengthen operational resilience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While OT\/IT convergence is accelerating, enhanced network security, high performance, strong reliability, and advanced usability become paramount to building next-generation industrial networks that strengthen operational resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Industry-leading Network Security: The EDS-4000\/G4000 Series was the first IEC 62443-4-2 certified Ethernet switches to be certified by IECEE due to the built-in hardened security that was developed by following the stringent software development lifecycle described in the standard. Along with Moxa\u2019s extensive network security portfolio, Moxa helps create a secure network foundation to safeguard and futureproof industrial operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Unprecedented Performance for Mass Deployments: As the number of connected devices in industrial operations grows exponentially, the EDS-4000\/G4000 Series provides multiple interface combinations with up to 14 ports and a range of options including fast Ethernet, Gigabit, 2.5GbE uplinks, SFP, and IEEE 802.3bt PoE connectivity. This enables customers to connect more devices, especially in applications such as intelligent transportation systems that require high-power and high-bandwidth networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Multiple Industrial Certifications: The EDS-4000\/G4000 Series is certified for NEMA TS2, EN 50121-4, IEC 61850-3\/IEEE 16132, DNV2, ATEX Zone 23, Class I Division 23, to fulfill the needs of a wide variety of industrial applications. The EDS-4000\/G4000 Series also features Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain fast network recovery to ensure smooth operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Advanced Usability: The improved web GUI provides a more intuitive way for users to perform<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>configurations and network management. The rotatable power module offers flexibility to field engineers when they are installing devices and maintaining the network. In addition, the LED indicators on two sides of the device help engineers easily identify the status of networking devices, making their job easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Comprehensive portfolio with 68 models, ranging from 8 ports to 14 ports<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Multiple interface combinations including fast Ethernet, Gigabit, 2.5GbE, SFP, and IEEE 802.3bt PoE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Developed according to the IEC 62443-4-1 and compliant with the IEC 62443-4-2 industrial cybersecurity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>standards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time &lt;20 ms@250 switches4), and RSTP\/STP for network redundancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Rotatable power module to simplify installation and maintenance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Wide range of power input options for flexible deployment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Compact and flexible housing that fits into confined spaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supports MXstudio for easy installation, operation, maintenance, and diagnostics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo-1024x342.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21252\" width=\"1024\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo-1024x342.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo-1536x512.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Moxa_PR_20221603_EDS-4000-G4000-Family-Photo.jpg 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The EDS-4000\/G4000 Series includes 68 models<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moxa Inc announces the launch of its next-generation industrial Ethernet switches, the EDS-4000\/G4000 Series.\u00a0 The EDS-4000\/G4000 Series includes 68 models that will help Moxa\u2019s customers build future-proof industrial networks to strengthen operational resilience in industrial spaces such as power, transportation, maritime, and factory automation.
