Allied Telesis AT-IA708C-80 – Industrial 8-Port Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switch

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-IA708C-80 is an industrial-grade unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch with 8x 10/100BASE-TX ports, built for deployment in harsh environments where commercial-grade equipment cannot operate reliably. Its extended operating temperature range makes it suitable for factory floors, transportation cabinets, outdoor enclosures, and other thermally challenging locations. DIN-rail mounting allows direct installation into standard industrial control panels and distribution boards. No configuration is needed — the switch begins forwarding traffic immediately upon power-up, minimizing time-to-operation in automated and time-sensitive industrial workflows.

Description

The AT-IA708C-80 provides 8 auto-negotiating 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports for connecting PLCs, HMIs, IP cameras, sensors, and other industrial Ethernet devices. The switch is unmanaged, eliminating configuration complexity in environments where IT staff may not be on-site. Its industrial design addresses the physical demands of manufacturing, transit, and utility applications where vibration, dust, and temperature extremes are present. Auto MDI/MDI-X on all ports removes cabling constraints when connecting devices in ad-hoc industrial network layouts. The DIN-rail mount provides a secure, standard attachment method compatible with IEC 60715 rail profiles common in electrical panels. LED indicators give operators an immediate visual status check without requiring access to any management interface. The compact, fanless design avoids moving parts that could fail under industrial vibration and contamination. The AT-IA708C-80 is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller.

Key Features

• 8x 10/100BASE-TX ports — full Fast Ethernet connectivity for industrial devices with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X
• Extended temperature operation — engineered to function in thermally extreme environments beyond the range of commercial switches
• DIN-rail mountable — installs directly onto IEC 60715 standard DIN rails inside industrial control enclosures and panels
• Unmanaged plug-and-play — no configuration, no software, no CLI; begins forwarding immediately on power-up
• Fanless design — no moving parts reduces failure risk in environments with vibration, dust, or particulate contamination
• Compact industrial form factor — designed to fit within space-constrained control cabinets and junction boxes
• LED status indicators — per-port link and activity LEDs provide immediate visual diagnostics without a management interface
