The Black Box Corporation LIG401A is an industrial-grade gigabit Ethernet switch designed for demanding environments. Featuring five ports—including four copper RJ-45 or PoE ports and one multi-rate SFP slot—it provides reliable high-speed connectivity for industrial applications. Its dual DC power inputs ensure redundancy, maintaining network operation even if one power source fails. The switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), compliant with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30 watts per port to power compatible devices without additional cabling. This makes it ideal for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices in harsh environments.

Constructed with an IP-rated housing, the LIG401A is resistant to shock and vibration, ensuring durability in rugged industrial settings. It operates efficiently within an extended temperature range from -40°F to +167°F, making it suitable for extreme outdoor or indoor environments. The switch can be mounted on a DIN rail or wall, providing flexible installation options to fit various industrial infrastructure needs. Its management capabilities include web interface, SNMP, and command-line interface (CLI), enabling network administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the device easily. Advanced features such as Layer 2 management, LACP, spanning tree, and ring fail-over support enhance network resilience and redundancy, essential for critical industrial networks.

Additionally, the switch's environmentally friendly design adheres to RoHS compliance, and it is built in Taiwan by Black Box Corporation, a trusted name in industrial networking solutions. The package includes mounting plates, a DIN rail clip, power terminal block, and dust covers for ports, ensuring a complete setup right out of the box.
