Product Overview
The EtherWAN IG5-24004RCS is a hardened managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for industrial networking and critical infrastructure. It combines 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports with four dual-rate 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, delivering high-density copper connectivity and high-speed fiber aggregation. Its fanless IP40 enclosure, single AC input and 1U rack-mount design support industrial automation, utilities and transportation networks.
The EtherWAN IG5-24004RCS is a 28-port hardened managed Ethernet switch in the IG5 Rack Series, available through Coremicro in Union City, California. It provides 24 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) RJ45 ports, four 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks and 128Gbps switching capacity. Network features include static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2, VRRPv2, EtherWAN Alpha-Ring and IEEE 1588v2 PTP. The non-PoE RCS model uses a single 100-240VAC inlet and operates from -40 to 75°C. EtherWAN lists a limited lifetime warranty subject to registration and manufacturer terms.
24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) RJ45 ports provide high-density copper connectivity for industrial controllers, monitoring systems and network equipment. These interfaces support Ethernet data transmission without PoE power delivery.
Four Dual-Rate 10G SFP+ Uplinks
Four SFP+ ports support 1G or 10G fiber connections to compatible network backbones and aggregation switches. The 128Gbps switching fabric accommodates demanding industrial traffic distribution and uplink requirements.
Advanced Layer 3 Routing
Static routing, RIP v1/v2 and OSPF v2 support communication between IP network segments. VRRPv2 provides gateway redundancy, while a hardware routing table supports up to 64 route entries.
Network Redundancy and Precision Timing
EtherWAN Alpha-Ring supports fault recovery below 15ms in supported configurations. STP, RSTP and MSTP provide additional redundancy options, while IEEE 1588v2 PTP enables synchronized industrial network operation.
Secure Network Management
Web GUI, CLI and SNMP provide configuration and monitoring capabilities. VLANs, SSH, HTTPS, RADIUS, 802.1X authentication and access control lists help administrators manage traffic and network security.
Hardened Single-AC Rack-Mount Design
The fanless IP40-rated metal chassis supports 1U rack installation and continuous operation from -40 to 75°C. The RCS configuration uses one 100-240VAC inlet for installations with a single AC supply.
