Winsonic NE11002-30834A 8GE + 4x10G SFP+ L3 Managed Industrial Switch

A Layer 3 managed industrial switch with four 10G uplinks

The NE11002-30834A is a Layer 3 managed industrial Ethernet switch from Winsonic with eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports, four 10 Gbps SFP+ slots and a console port. The ordering line in the datasheet describes it as an 8GE+4*10G SFP+ L3 managed industrial switch. It is built without a fan, accepts 12 to 55 V DC and is rated for -40 to 75 degrees C, so it suits cabinets and roadside enclosures where an office switch would not last.

The four SFP+ cages are the distinguishing feature of this model. They allow a 10 Gbps fibre trunk toward a core switch or server room while the eight copper ports serve cameras, controllers and access points locally. Because the unit routes as well as switches, it can terminate several VLANs at the edge of a plant network and reduce traffic that would otherwise cross the backbone.

In practice the switch sits at the aggregation layer of a small plant or roadside network. Eight copper ports collect traffic from edge devices, and the four SFP+ cages carry it upstream at 10 Gbps. The 96 Gbps switching capacity and 12 Mbit packet buffer are the largest figures among the Winsonic compact switches in this housing, which matters when many cameras or controllers burst traffic at once. The 12 KByte jumbo frame setting is useful for storage and video traffic that benefits from larger frames.

Layer 3 routing and management functions

The datasheet lists the software functions below. They are quoted as printed; confirm the firmware release with Winsonic when a specific feature matters for your design.

Where the NE11002 fits and how to select it

Choose this model when the network needs routing at the field edge and a 10G uplink budget, for example a tunnel control room aggregating CCTV and SCADA traffic, a pumping station linking to a water-treatment backbone, or a transport depot. If you only need Layer 2 ring redundancy with Gigabit uplinks, the sibling NE11004-20834A in the same housing is the simpler choice. If PoE is required, look at the PoE variants of the Winsonic switch family, such as the NE11001-30844A.

Plan the fibre side before ordering: SFP+ transceivers are not part of the switch ordering line, and the datasheet states 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X over multimode or single-mode fibre. Winsonic also lists SFP and SFP+ modules in its own range. Supply the DC source within 12 to 55 V and size the protective earth connection, as the surge rating is 2 kV differential and 4 kV common mode.

For power-quality-sensitive sites keep the console cable available for first commissioning; the unit accepts web, Telnet and SSH management afterwards. All values on this page are taken from the manufacturer datasheet for NE11002-30834A.

Commissioning is done through the console port, Telnet, SSH or the web interface, and firmware can be backed up and restored by TFTP or FTP. A sensible first-day checklist is to set the management VLAN and address, enable SNMP v3 if a monitoring system is used, define the routed interfaces and static routes, then configure ERPS or STP on the ring uplinks before connecting the second path. Keep LLDP enabled so neighbouring switches can be identified in the field. The datasheet also lists watchdog protection and CPU protection, which help the unit recover from a stalled process without a site visit.

Mechanically the housing is 145 x 109 x 62 mm, so measure the cabinet depth before ordering SFP+ modules, because fibre bend radius adds to the depth in front of the panel. The temperature rating of -40 to 75 degrees C covers outdoor cabinets in hot climates, but the operating humidity figure is non-condensing, so use a cabinet heater or breather where condensation is possible.
