LNX-C501G-SFP-T a 5-port industrial unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch built for tight enclosures and extreme temperature environments. The switch pairs four copper Gigabit ports with a dual-rate SFP slot, giving integrators a small-footprint way to bridge copper network segments to fiber backbones in outdoor cabinets, roadside enclosures, and other space-constrained industrial installations.
A Small Switch Built for Harsh Locations
The LNX-C501G-SFP-T is designed around Antaira's compact chassis, aimed at applications where panel or cabinet space is limited but full Gigabit performance and fiber connectivity are still required. Because it's unmanaged, the switch works as a plug-and-play device with no configuration needed, while its DIN-rail or wall-mount installation and dual DC power inputs make it straightforward to deploy in control panels, transportation cabinets, and remote monitoring stations.

LNX-C501G-SFP-T Overview
At its core, the LNX-C501G-SFP-T is a 5-port industrial compact Gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switch built with four 10/100/1000Tx Ethernet ports alongside a single 100/1000 dual-rate SFP slot for fiber connectivity. The SFP port's speed can be set with a DIP switch, giving installers a quick way to match the fiber link to either Fast Ethernet or Gigabit optics without needing a management interface, while the switch itself uses a store-and-forward switching architecture for traffic handling.
Power resilience is built into the design through a dual DC power input arrangement rated for 12 to 48VDC, wired through a 6-pin terminal block, with reverse-polarity protection on both inputs to prevent damage from miswired power connections. The IP40-rated enclosure can be DIN-rail or wall mounted, and the switch is backed by high EFT and ESD protection to withstand electrical noise common in industrial settings.
The extended-temperature "-T" designation means this model is rated to operate across -40°C to 75°C, making it suited to unconditioned outdoor cabinets and vehicles as well as climate-controlled equipment rooms. Antaira lists target applications spanning power and utility networks, water and wastewater treatment, oil, gas, and mining sites, factory automation, security surveillance, intelligent transportation systems, and other outdoor or harsh-environment deployments. The unit is backed by a 5-year warranty.
Where the LNX-C501G-SFP-T Fits
Outdoor & Roadside Cabinets
The -40°C to 75°C rating and IP40 enclosure suit traffic cabinets, remote junction boxes, and other unconditioned outdoor installations where space is at a premium.
LNX-C501G-SFP-TFiber Uplinks from Copper Segments
The dual-rate SFP slot lets a small cluster of copper-connected devices uplink to a fiber backbone, useful for extending networks across long distances or noisy environments.
LNX-C501G-SFP-TIndustrial Control Panels
Compact dimensions and DIN-rail mounting let the switch fit inside crowded control panels alongside PLCs and other automation hardware without requiring extra enclosure space.
LNX-C501G-SFP-TUtility & Water/Wastewater Sites
Dual DC power inputs with reverse-polarity protection add resilience for remote power and water infrastructure sites where a single point of power failure isn't acceptable.
