10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports with RJ45 connectors | 8 | – | 8 | – | 8 | – |
PoE Ports: 10/100/1000BaseT(X), RJ45 Connectors | – | 8 | – | 8 | – | 8 |
IEEE 802.3af/at compliant, supports PoE / PoE+ output | – | V | – | V | – | V |
100/1000Base SFP Slots | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
2.5G SFP Slots | – | – | 2 | 2 | – | – |
Based on the technical parameter comparison, the moxa industrial ethernet switch (including the moxa switch 8 port model) and Rayin Technology share the similar hardware specifications. The 3onedata model is equipped with dual 2.5G interfaces, and is better suitable for the application of large data flow & wide bandwidth.
2.By Moxa Industrial Ethernet Switch do the POE Power Comparision
Comparison | MOXA | 3onedata | Rayin |
EDS-G512E-8PoE-4GSFP-T | IES6300-8GP2GS2HS-2P48-240W | IS201-8GP4GS-2P48 | |
Total PoE Power | 240W | 240W | 240W |
Per-port PoE Power | 36W | 30W | 30W |
All three products deliver a PoE budget of 240W, supporting up to 30W per port. In Addition, the moxa industrial ethernet switch (as a high-performance Moxa industrial switch) provides a 36W high-power mode to do the preparion for power loss over long cable runs.
3. Interfaces Comparison
Comparison | MOXA | 3onedata | Rayin |
EDS-G512E-8PoE-4GSFP-T | IES6300-8GP2GS2HS-2P48-240W | IS201-8GP4GS-2P48 | |
Relay Alarm | support | support | support |
Console port，RJ45（RS-232） | - | support | support |
USB（RS-232） | support | - | - |
Out-of-Band Management RJ45 Port | - | - | support |
DIP Switch Function | Turbo Ring、Master、Coupler、Reserved Port | RST、Reserved Port | RST/Factory、long distance mode、VLAN、 QoS |
The three industrial switches support the relay alarm function, but there is a big difference in the management interface and DIP switch setup: For the Moxa industrial switch (such as the moxa switch 8 port model) Management RJ45 Port, its DIP switch function focuses on turbo ring、aaster and coupler. The 3onedata model is equipped with RS-232 console port, no USB port and Management RJ45 Port, but its DIP switch function is very basic, only support reserved Port; The Rayin model is equipped with both RJ45 Console port and independent management RJ45 port, no USB port. It offers the richest set of DIP switch features, supporting RST/Factory、long distance mode、VLAN and QoS.
4. Mechanical Size Comparison
Comparison | MOXA | 3onedata | Rayin |
EDS-G512E-8PoE-4GSFP-T | IES6300-8GP2GS2HS-2P48-240W | IS201-8GP4GS-2P48 | |
Dimension | 79.2 mm× 135 mm× 137 mm | 53mm×110mm×138mm | 54mm×123.5mm×160mm |
All three models feature very compact industrial designs, and their size are different. The moxa industrial switch poe model is 79.2 mm wide, it is the largest volume. 3onedata is the most compact model with 53 mm wide. Rayin’s depth is close to 3onedata, offering a compact size, rich port density and flexible mounting options.
5.Price comparison
Comparison | MOXA | 3onedata | Rayin |
EDS-G512E-8PoE-4GSFP-T | IES6300-8GP2GS2HS-2P48-240W | IS201-8GP4GS-2P48 | |
Price | High | relatively high | highly cost-effective |
6. F&Q
A: The moxa industrial switch poe (as a top-tier Moxa industrial switch) is the premium choice with reliability for high-end, and critical projects. 3onedata focus on high-bandwidth appliction with dual 2.5G ports. Rayin is most versatile and cost-effective, featuring Console + OOB ports and rich DIP switch functions.
A: It provides an independent management channel (ideal for models like the moxa switch 8 port ), allowing network admins to log in and troubleshoot even if the main data network crashes.
A: It boosts output current to offset power loss over long cable runs , which is up to 100m, ensuring stable power delivery to high-end devices(a key feature justifying the moxa industrial switch price).
A: As built by leading industrial ethernet switch manufacturers, The 3onedata model is equipped with dual 2.5G interfaces, and is suitable for the application of large data flow & wide bandwidth.
A: Yes. They allow technicians to instantly VLAN, QoS, Factory Reset, or Long Distance Mode on the hardware directly.
7.Conclusion
Through above analysis, you can find all three 12-port PoE industrial switches from top industrial ethernet switch manufacturers represent top choices in the market and each has its own positioning focus. Moxa (well-known for models like the moxa switch 8 port) leverages its brand leadership and reliability to target premium, high-end markets. The 3onedata model is equipped with 2.5G optical port, with high-grade hardware specifications, and it is very suitable for the scene of the large bandwidth requirement. Meanwhile, Rayin Technology stands out for its versatility and value—combining an independent management port, rich DIP switch features, and comprehensive functionality at a competitive price strength.
