Advantech provides the EKI series of industrial Ethernet switches, featuring wide-temperature resilience, X-Ring Pro redundancy, and PoE capabilities. They provide deterministic data transmission, seamless network management, and robust IT/OT convergence functions, keeping your critical infrastructure online in the harshest deployments.
Three Things Every Industrial Network Needs
EKI switches simplify field wiring with PoE, converge control and data traffic with TSN, and survive the conditions that defeat commercial networking gear. Redundant ring topologies recover in under 20ms, while metal IP30 housings and wide-temperature designs keep the network up in cabinets and outdoor enclosures.
Data and power over one cable — 802.3af up to 15.4W per port.
Time synchronization, high bandwidth and reduced latency for IT/OT.
X-Ring Pro redundancy with <20ms recovery in rugged housings.
One Cable for Power and Data
PoE switches deliver power and data to cameras, access points and sensors over a single cable — eliminating separate power runs to every edge device. That cuts installation cost, shortens commissioning time and removes the electrician from the loop when you add or relocate a device.
Redundant 24-48VDC input for resilient field installs.
Power multiple cameras, APs and sensors from one switch.
Compact DIN-rail housing for tight cabinets.
Fast-recovery ring topology for network resilience.
Separate and prioritize traffic on managed models.
Built for continuous duty in harsh environments.
Find Your Switch Class
Start with the right class for your topology: unmanaged plug-and-play for simple star networks, gigabit models for bandwidth-intensive applications, PoE for camera and AP networks needing single-cable power, and TSN-capable managed switches for converged IT/OT deterministic networks.
Certified for Rail, Power and Heavy Industry
EKI switches are engineered for the punishing demands of rail, power, factory and outdoor networks — with certified compliance, rugged metal housings and self-healing redundancy built in, so the network stays online where commercial gear would fail.
Rolling-stock compliant models for rail networks.
Substation-grade switches for energy infrastructure.
Rugged enclosures for cabinet and field mounting.
Self-healing ring redundancy under 20ms recovery.
Choose plug-and-play or full management as needed.
Determinism over Ethernet for one converged backbone.
From Surveillance Networks to Substations
From IP surveillance networks and factory automation backbones to railway on-board systems and power substation communication, EKI switches provide the deterministic, redundant industrial Ethernet connectivity that keeps critical infrastructure online around the clock.
PoE delivers power and data to IP cameras, intercoms and access-control readers over a single cable run, eliminating separate power outlets at each device. EKI PoE switches provide up to 90W total budget with per-port scheduling and VLAN separation of surveillance traffic from operational networks.
Deterministic, redundant industrial Ethernet connectivity for PLC, robot controller, SCADA and MES traffic on the factory floor. EKI managed switches support PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and traffic prioritisation, while X-Ring Pro redundancy recovers from a cable break in under 20ms without manual intervention.
EN50155-compliant switches for on-board passenger information systems, surveillance cameras and train-control networks — validated for the temperature cycling, humidity, vibration and shock conditions specific to rolling-stock applications in regional and high-speed rail.
IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 rated switches for substation automation, SCADA communication and protection relay networks. Wide-temperature operation and isolated power inputs match the harsh electrical environment of switchgear rooms and outdoor utility enclosures in transmission and distribution grids.
