Meet the Black Box Hardened Mini Industrial Switch, a rugged four-port Ethernet solution designed to thrive in the most demanding industrial settings. This compact device adds four 10/100 Mbps copper ports to your network, delivering full wire-speed forwarding so time-critical control and automation traffic moves without delay. Built with an industrial-strength plastic housing, it stands up to the dust, vibration, and EMI typical of factory floors and harsh outdoor environments, while remaining small enough to fit into tight installations. The switch adheres to IEC 61000-6-2 EMC standards for industrial environments, offering dependable performance in the presence of electrical noise commonly generated by motors, drives, and other heavy machinery. With auto MDI/MDI-X copper ports, you can connect devices with standard Ethernet cables without worrying about cable type or uplink configuration, simplifying deployment and reducing downtime. Whether you’re expanding an aging infrastructure, integrating edge devices, or linking PLCs and sensors, this compact, reliable switch delivers the stable connectivity essential for modern industrial networks.

  • Four 10/100 Mbps copper RJ-45 ports deliver reliable, full wire-speed forwarding across the network, enabling seamless integration of legacy devices and modern edge sensors alike for responsive automation networks.
  • Industrial-strength plastic housing provides a rugged, compact footprint that resists impact, dust, and moisture while maintaining a slim form factor for tight installations and constrained spaces.
  • Auto MDI/MDI-X copper ports simplify cabling—no more guessing about uplink requirements; just connect devices and go, reducing setup time and cabling errors on the factory floor.
  • EMC-compliant design meets IEC 61000-6-2 standards for industrial environments, helping to maintain stable operation in the presence of EMI, electrical noise, and grid disturbances typical in manufacturing facilities.
  • Versatile deployment for factory automation, outdoor enclosures, and harsh environments where space, durability, and dependable performance matter most—perfect for edge computing, control networks, and small-scale industrial deployments.

How to Install Black Box Hardened Mini Industrial Switch

Install the switch quickly and with confidence by following these straightforward steps. This guide emphasizes simple plug-and-play operation to minimize downtime while ensuring solid, industry-grade connectivity.

  • Plan the placement of the switch in a location that minimizes exposure to dust and moisture while keeping cables organized and accessible for maintenance and future expansions.
  • Position the switch in a suitable enclosure or on a surface with adequate ventilation to avoid overheating and to prolong component life in demanding environments.
  • Connect devices to the four copper RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. Rely on auto MDI/MDI-X to automatically handle uplinks and crossovers, reducing confusion during setup.
  • Establish your network topology by connecting an uplink to your main switch or router as required. Verify that each connected device shows a healthy link and activity LED indication on its port.
  • Power on the switch and monitor the port activity indicators. Run basic connectivity tests between connected devices to confirm that data flows with minimal latency and that your automation traffic remains uninterrupted in real-world conditions.

The Dog LOVES IT!
I bought this for my ex-wife's Pitbull. He is an aggressive chewer and usually destroys any toy I buy him. But not this one! The ball is small enough and pliable that it gives when he chomps on it. He loves this ball and seems to be his favorite toy. Thank you for making a product that he likes and can't destroy!

My Golden Retriever’s favorite
We’ve owned lots of toys and balls. This specific version (in blue) has been her absolute favorite. She’s about 72lbs and chews on this thing regularly with no visible damage. We actually own about 6 of them because they have a tendency to go missing underneath furniture and in the yard. We have two of the orange colored ones but she doesn’t like those nearly as much which I assume is because the blue is easier to see in the grass. Other than that…They bounce really well and also whistle a little when you throw them hard enough. I hope they never stop making these.

doesn't whistle as loud as other chuckit balls I've seen, but a good ball.
makes some noise, but I've seen (and played with) others at the dog park that whistle much louder than the 1 I got. all Chuckit balls... so, just this one I'm betting. but it flys good and the dog loves to chase it. he chews it a fair bit as well and the ball has not taken much damage from him (lab mix) or others that have had a go at it. I'll likely buy another at some point ... just wish it was a little louder when flying.

Blue ball, my dog likes blue.
Just a ball right? Evidently not! My dog won’t chase an orange chuck it ball or the glow in the dark ball- only the blue one 🤷🏼‍♀️
