• Same mounting options and packaging as the 14-series media converters

The 4-port S14 Convenient Switch™ family covers the full range of application environments, with regular (office), Hardened (factory floor), and Premium- rated (outdoor) versions. Extra features for heavy-duty and extended temperature operation ranges are included selectively in the Hardened factory-floor and Premium-rated outdoor models. This three-level selection of models offers the best price-to-value for each user and installation.

For any user who needs a small chunk of Ethernet connectivity, a 4-port “go anywhere” S14 Switch is a versatile and handy solution. It provides edge access Ethernet ports it in a convenient and compact package.

The yellow-label S14 regular units are for office and indoor wiring closet environments. These are the economical base units in the S14 Switch family.

An external AC power supply for either North America (-d, 115vac 60Hz) or international (-i, 230vac, 50Hz) is included. The ambient temperature rating is 0° to 40°C, office grade. A robust metal case with convection cooling is featured. Metal mounting clips are included, and rack-mount tray options are available. The orange-label S14H Hardened units are for factory floor applications.

The S14H models are built with high-grade components and are constructed using special thermal techniques (patent pending) and a metal case for heavy duty industrial jobs. In addition to a Hardened AC power option and jack, terminals for internal DC power choices at 8 to15V, 24V or -48V DC are included. The ambient temperature rating is for industrial use. No internal air flow is required for cooling, so it resists dust, dirt, moisture, smoke and insects. Mounting options include standalone panel-mounting, DIN-Rail, or rack-mount tray.

The red-label S14P Premium-rated units are for temperature uncontrolled sheltered applications, typically located outdoors. The S14P models are built with premium-grade extended temperature components, and use similar thermal techniques (patent pending) as the S14H Hardened units. In addition to a Premium-rated AC power option and jack, terminals for internal DC power choices at 8 to 15V, 24V or -48V DC are included. When used outdoors, the S14P should be sheltered from elements. Mounting options include stand-alone panel-mounting, DIN-rail, or rack-mount tray.

All S14 Convenient Switch models come with two (2) sets of LED indicators. One set is on the front for viewing convenience when the unit is wall mounted, and one LED set is mounted in the end adjacent to three of the RJ-45 ports for easy viewing when units are in a rack-mount tray. The S14 family of Convenient Switches and other products are designed and manufactured in the USA and backed by a three-year warranty.
