Ethernet-APL Switch Description
Intrinsically safe Ethernet-APL field switch without auxiliary power supply-structure
This Ethernet-APL Field Switch is specifically designed for field-level Ethernet-APL deployment, enabling long-distance industrial Ethernet communication and PoDL power delivery without requiring an additional auxiliary power supply.
The 8-port Ethernet-APL Field Switch integrates 2 Trunk interfaces and 6 Spur interfaces into a compact industrial-grade platform, allowing seamless expansion of Ethernet-APL process networks in demanding industrial environments. The switch receives both power and data from upstream Ethernet-APL power switches through the Trunk interfaces and directly distributes PoDL power and Ethernet communication to field instruments through the Spur interfaces.
Built around IEEE802.3cg-2019 10BASE-T1L technology, the switch supports transparent Ethernet transmission for industrial protocols such as PROFINET, MODBUS TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link IE, and POWERLINK. This allows users to modernize legacy field networks into intelligent Ethernet-APL architectures suitable for Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT applications.
With IP66 protection, aluminum waterproof housing, long-distance communication capability, and industrial PoDL support, this Ethernet-APL Field Switch is ideal for harsh process industries including oil & gas, chemical plants, pharmaceuticals, power generation, and water treatment systems.
Ethernet-APL field switch key advantages include:
No auxiliary power supply required
IEEE802.3cg-2019 compliant 10BASE-T1L communication
Long-distance Ethernet transmission up to 1000m on Trunk lines
Spur communication distance up to 200m
Simultaneous data and power transmission over SPE cable
Supports Ethernet-APL Power Classes A, C, 3, and 4
Transparent industrial Ethernet protocol transmission
Compact field-level Ethernet-APL expansion architecture
Reduced wiring and installation costs
Optimized for process automation and smart instrumentation
The switch supports cascading expansion through dual Trunk interfaces, making it highly suitable for large-scale Ethernet-APL network deployment across industrial production facilities.

How to ensure the reliability of the purchased products?
Our customer-centric philosophy prioritizes their procurement needs.
1. Initially confirm the manufacturer based on product pricing and the strength and qualifications of the production factory.
2. Verify the manufacturer’s production environment through video and on-site inspections to check the compliance of the entire product manufacturing process.
3. Ensure post-production product testing and retain data and video evidence from the verification process(testing and verification methods vary depending on the product).
How does Instrava ensure product protection and physical safety during cross-border shipping?
Firstly, we confirm the packaged products with the factory (different products require different packaging and shipping methods. Heavy equipment and bulk shipments are securely secured within sea freight containers using custom-designed engineering steel frames, heavy-duty multi-layer wooden crates, and industrial-grade vacuum rust-proof bags. Precision instruments are protected against impacts and maintained in a stable position; the factory has extensive experience in this area. Custom labels are affixed to the outer packaging).
Secondly, we maintain communication with the freight company to confirm the condition of the goods and advise them to handle the loading and unloading processes with care.
What warranty policies and after-sales technical support does Instrava offer to international customers?
1. Instrava offers a comprehensive 12 to 24-month warranty (specific warranty period depends on the product line), covering all manufacturing and component defects.
2. When online technical support is needed, customers can connect with factory engineers online. Real-time guidance is provided for installation, on-site calibration (for instruments), and commissioning. When on-site engineer support is needed, we will arrange for an engineer to visit the site.
3. In the event of component issues, we will ship replacement parts via international express delivery (DHL/FedEx) to minimize your project downtime.
4. Whether a product requires replacement or repair will be clearly stated in the purchase contract.
