Industrial 8-Port 10/100/1000Base-T + 1-Port 1000Base-X Ethernet Switch

Product Overview:

The LNK-IMC108G is an industrial-grade 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered for robust network performance in demanding environments. Featuring eight 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports and one 1000BASE-X fiber optic port, it enables seamless media conversion between copper and fiber networks. The RJ45 ports support auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds, full/half duplex operation, and automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The fiber port accommodates both single-mode and multi-mode transceivers with single or dual fiber core connectivity for long-distance network extension.

Engineered for industrial applications, this hardened switch operates reliably in extreme conditions with a rugged metal housing that provides superior protection against vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference. Its high-port-density design supports multiple network devices while maintaining industrial-grade durability and performance standards.

Ideal for network integration between remote locations, this switch provides reliable connectivity for IP cameras, wireless access points, and other network devices in applications including industrial automation, transportation systems, and large-scale surveillance networks. The combination of multiple copper ports and fiber connectivity makes it perfect for expanding network capacity while maintaining data integrity in electrically noisy environments.
