ES 7028FX-8G

The BEC ES 7028FX-8G is an 8+28 port industrial managed Ethernet switch with 10G uplink support, designed for fiber-dense aggregation, industrial backbones, and high-availability edge networks. It combines 8 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports, 24 Gigabit SFP fiber slots, and 4 1/10GbE SFP+ uplink slots to support scalable copper and fiber connectivity across demanding network environments.

Built for harsh deployments, the ES 7028FX-8G features an IP30-rated rack-mount metal enclosure, redundant AC/DC power input options, and an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C. Its high-capacity 160Gbps switch fabric, 32K MAC table, jumbo frame support, and advanced Layer 2 management features help support reliable traffic handling in industrial, utility, transportation, and critical infrastructure networks.

The ES 7028FX-8G supports RSTP, MSTP, G.8032 ERPSv2, and LACP for network redundancy, along with QoS, VLAN, IGMP Snooping, DHCP Relay Option 82, SNMP, RMON, Syslog, LLDP, RSPAN, and storm protection. USB-based configuration backup and restore simplifies field replacement, while support for EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Profinet helps enable integration into industrial automation environments.
