Product Summary
The GE IS420ESWBH5A is a 16-port unmanaged industrial Ethernet/IONet switch for Mark VIe systems, featuring two single-mode fiber uplinks, 10/100 Mbps speed, redundant DC power, and fanless DIN-rail design for reliable turbine control networking.
Product Description
Product Overview

The GE IS420ESWBH5A is a 16-port Industrial Ethernet and IONet Switch manufactured by General Electric (GE) for the Mark VIe and Mark VIeS control systems. It is designed to provide reliable Ethernet connectivity between controllers, I/O modules, engineering workstations, and other industrial automation devices.

The IS420ESWBH5A belongs to GE's ESWB series of unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches. It features 16 copper Ethernet ports and two single-mode fiber-optic uplink ports, making it suitable for industrial networks requiring both local Ethernet connectivity and longer-distance fiber communication.

The switch supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet communication, redundant DC power inputs, and DIN-rail mounting. It is commonly used in turbine control systems and power generation automation networks.

Ethernet Communication Interfaces

The IS420ESWBH5A provides two types of communication interfaces.

Interface Quantity Function
RJ45 Copper Ethernet 16 Connects controllers and industrial Ethernet devices
