Winmate is proud to introduce the EACSW , its new Plug & Play Marine Switch designed specifically for demanding maritime and industrial networking environments. Combining ease of installation, robust design, and intelligent redundancy, the EACSW aims to simplify connectivity across marine systems.
Key Features & Highlights
- Effortless Deployment: The EACSW offers true plug-and-play functionality — no manual configuration required. Once connected, it auto-detects network parameters to establish seamless connectivity.
- Reliable Redundancy: It supports Gigabit X-Ring Pro with recovery times of less than 20 ms, along with RSTP/STP support for loop prevention and network stability.
- Broad Connectivity: Equipped with 8 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps), with Auto MDI/MDI-X, it enables multiple device connections without needing crossover cables.
- Rugged Design for Marine Environments: The EACSW uses a metal housing rated to IP30, and supports DIN-rail or wall mounting — ideal for constrained control cabinets onboard vessels.
- Wide Temperature & Power Range: It operates reliably between –15 °C to +55 °C, accepts 12–48 VDC (dual redundant power inputs), and consumes only ~4.71 W in operation.
- Compact Form Factor: With dimensions of 30 × 140 × 95 mm and a weight around 1.5 kg, the EACSW is built for tight installations.
- Certifications & Compliance: The device carries CE and FCC markings, reinforcing its compliance with industrial and communication standards.
Applications & Use Cases
The EACSW is well suited for a variety of marine, offshore, and industrial networking scenarios:
- Shipboard network infrastructures
- Marine automation and control systems
- Data acquisition and sensor networks
- IoT gateways in harsh or constrained environments
- Redundant network backbones where quick recovery is critical
Market Outlook
With increasing digitalization in marine operations and the rise of smart vessel systems, the demand for rugged, self-configuring network infrastructure is growing. The EACSW positions Winmate to address these needs by offering a resilient, easy-to-integrate switching solution that lowers deployment complexity and enhances uptime.
