Digital Yacht NS8 Network Switch - 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet for Marine Networking

NS8 Network Switch - 8-Port, 1GB

Digital Yachts NS8 Network Switch is a rugged and reliable 8-port 10/100/1000 base-T network switch that is ideal for expanding a wired Ethernet network onboard a vessel.

More and more boats now have a wireless router fitted or utilize devices like our 4G Connect for internet connectivity. For optimum data transfer speed, a wired Ethernet connection still offers the fastest and most reliable network connection onboard a boat, and for Streaming TV, VOIP, Security Cameras, and other data-intensive services, we always recommend using a wired connection.

Our NS8 Network Switch provides a simple and rugged solution to increasing the number of wired Ethernet connections on the vessel. Designed to operate from a DC supply, with dual redundancy power supply design, a DIN rail mount, and eight RJ45 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, the NS8 allows you to reliably expand your boats Ethernet network.

Installation could not be easier, simply connect one of the NS8s RJ45 sockets to a LAN socket on our 4GConnect or 4GXtream routers, using a normal network cable, and wire the NS8 directly to the boats 12v, 24v, or 48v DC supply. Our 4G router will continue to provide IP addresses to any device plugged into the NS8 (via DHCP), and you can immediately see the status of all the Ethernet connections by the flashing Yellow and Green LEDs on each of the NS8s ports.

Features:

• 8 Port Network Switch
• 12/24/48v DC low power operation
