The number of devices requiring connections inside control cabinets is constantly growing—LED lighting, sensors, controllers, field instruments, and more. Each additional device brings extra wiring and commissioning work. For many small-to-medium-sized networks, the primary concern isn't a lack of features, but rather ease of installation and operational stability. Enter the WAGO Industrial Eco Switch—an industrial Ethernet switch that combines cost-efficiency, a compact footprint, and plug-and-play simplicity.
New Product Spotlight: WAGO’s Cost-Effective, Compact Industrial Ethernet Switch (Model 852-116)
The new WAGO Industrial Eco Switch is designed to meet the increasing demands of distributed control cabinets. Equipped with 16 Ethernet ports and supporting transmission speeds of 10/100 Mbps, it offers an ideal solution for building small-to-medium-sized networks.
Its slim profile and practical DIN-rail adapter allow for easy installation within control cabinets, while its high resistance to vibration and shock makes it perfectly suited for industrial applications in mechanical engineering and general automation.
Features such as automatic transmission speed detection (Autonegotiation) and automatic transmit/receive line identification (Auto MDI-X) ensure simple plug-and-play operation, saving both time and costs during commissioning.
