Product Overview
The CTC Union ITP-802GSM-8PHE24 is a managed industrial-grade Fast Ethernet PoE+ switch engineered for the harshest environments. Featuring 8x 10/100Base-TX PoE+ ports with rugged M12 connectors and 2x Gigabit/Fast Ethernet SFP ports, it delivers stable and reliable network traffic for demanding applications such as rolling stock, railway traffic, vehicles, and maritime vessels. Rated IP67 for superior protection against dust and water submersion, the switch leverages robust M12 and M23 connectivity to guarantee vibration- and shock-proof links against severe environmental disturbances.
This managed Layer 2 switch is equipped with advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, including device auto-checking, auto-reset, and weekly power scheduling to facilitate intelligent power management. Compliant with EN 50155 and EN 50121-4 standards, it ensures resilient continuous operation utilizing dual redundant 24/48VDC power inputs alongside a built-in power booster (stepping up to 55 VDC) to stabilize PoE+ output for edge devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of connectors are required for the Ethernet and power interfaces on this switch?
The switch strictly requires M12 threaded connectors for the 8x 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet UTP ports and an M23 threaded connector for the redundant power input. These specialized connectors are critical for maintaining the IP67 waterproof rating and protecting against severe vibration.
Is the ITP-802GSM-8PHE24 suitable for railway and rolling stock applications?
Yes. The switch is fully compliant with EN 50155 and EN 50121-4 standards, certifying it for railway traffic, rolling stock, and other harsh industrial deployments requiring strict EFT, ESD, surge, vibration, and shock tolerances.
Does this switch require a native 48VDC power supply to output standard PoE+?
No, it features a built-in power booster that accepts lower 24/48VDC dual redundant input power and steps it up to a regulated 55VDC. This stabilizes PoE delivery and ensures sufficient voltage reaches powered devices (PDs) up to 100 meters away.
