Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN EX77964-8VB is a hardened managed Ethernet switch designed for industrial networks requiring Gigabit copper access, fiber connectivity and high-speed 10G uplinks. It combines 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports, eight RJ45/SFP combo interfaces and four dual-rate 1G/10G SFP+ ports in a compact 19-inch rack-mount enclosure. Lite Layer 3 routing, network redundancy and advanced management features support transportation infrastructure, security networks, power substations and industrial facilities. Fanless operation and a -40 to 75°C operating range make the platform suitable for demanding environments where conventional office networking equipment may not meet installation requirements.
The EtherWAN EX77964-8VB is a 28-port hardened managed Gigabit Ethernet switch available through Coremicro, an authorized EtherWAN dealer based in Union City, California. The switch provides 16 10/100/1000BASE-TX ports, eight shared RJ45/SFP combo ports and four 1G/10G SFP+ interfaces. Supported networking features include static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2, VRRP, VLANs, link aggregation and EtherWAN Alpha-Ring redundancy. The unit operates from redundant 12-24 VDC power inputs and supports temperatures from -40 to 75°C. EtherWAN specifies a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty subject to its warranty policy. The EX77964 series was discontinued on September 19, 2026, and EtherWAN identifies the IG5 24004FTE as its successor. Remaining availability and warranty eligibility should be confirmed before purchase.
16 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet Ports
Sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-TX copper ports provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for industrial controllers, network appliances, security devices and other compatible endpoints. Auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX simplify connections across different Ethernet equipment. The port configuration supports installations requiring multiple local copper connections within a single managed switching platform, including industrial facilities, transportation cabinets and distributed infrastructure networks.
8 RJ45/SFP Combo Network Ports
Eight combo interfaces provide flexible copper or fiber connectivity within the same switch. Each interface can use its RJ45 connection or a compatible 100/1000BASE SFP transceiver, allowing engineers to select the appropriate network medium for each link. The connectors share eight logical ports rather than providing sixteen independent connections. This flexibility is useful for projects combining existing copper cabling with optical fiber infrastructure.
Four Dual-Rate 1G/10G SFP+ Uplinks
Four SFP+ interfaces support 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections using compatible transceivers. These high-speed ports provide uplink options for aggregation switches, fiber backbones and network distribution infrastructure. They allow Gigabit access connections to feed higher-bandwidth network segments without requiring a separate aggregation device at every location. Optical reach and supported link configurations depend on the selected SFP+ modules and network infrastructure.
Lite Layer 3 Managed Ethernet Routing
Lite Layer 3 networking provides routing functions beyond conventional Layer 2 switching. EtherWAN specifies static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2 and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol, with a hardware routing table supporting up to 64 entries. These features help engineers build segmented network architectures and manage traffic between routed networks. VLAN support, link aggregation and multicast management provide additional control for industrial and infrastructure deployments.
Alpha-Ring Redundancy and Network Security
EtherWAN Alpha-Ring and Alpha-Chain support resilient Ethernet network configurations. Alpha-Ring is specified for network fault recovery in less than 15 milliseconds under supported configurations, while STP, RSTP and MSTP provide additional redundancy options. Management interfaces include CLI, web browser, Telnet and SNMP v1/v2c/v3. Security functions include IEEE 802.1X authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSH, SSL, MAC filtering, access control lists and storm control.
Hardened Fanless Industrial Design
The fanless metal enclosure is rated IP30 and designed for operation across a -40 to 75°C temperature range. Redundant 12-24 VDC terminal-block power inputs support industrial power configurations, while the 254 mm chassis depth allows installation in compact 19-inch rack environments. EtherWAN lists NEMA TS2 compliance and industrial environmental testing for the series. The enclosure is suited to controlled industrial cabinets and infrastructure facilities, with installation requirements validated against site conditions.
