GE IS420ESWBH3A Industrial Ethernet Switch Module

The GE IS420ESWBH3A serves as a rugged networking solution for industrial automation systems requiring stable connectivity. Designed for harsh environments, this unmanaged Ethernet switch maintains seamless data flow between control components in critical infrastructure projects. Its straightforward architecture makes it particularly suitable for decentralized installations where fiber optics aren’t necessary.

Technical Specifications

Commonly deployed in power generation facilities and manufacturing plants, this switch excels in environments where copper-based networks outperform fiber solutions. Engineers working with GE’s VMIVME-7807 modules or IS220PPDAH1B components often integrate this switch into their system backbones. Field technicians particularly appreciate its compatibility with legacy Mark VIe control cabinets during system expansions.

While lacking advanced management features, its simplicity becomes an advantage in applications prioritizing reliability over complex configuration. The industrial-grade enclosure withstands vibration levels exceeding typical plant floor requirements. Unlike consumer-grade switches, this unit maintains operation during temperature swings common in outdoor substations. Field reports confirm minimal failure rates even after prolonged exposure to electromagnetic interference from nearby motor drives.
