Rugged 7-Port Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The SF70760 combines six Gigabit copper Ethernet ports with one 1000Mbps SFP fiber interface in a compact industrial switch designed for reliable network connectivity in demanding environments.
Its unmanaged design provides straightforward network connectivity without requiring switch configuration, while the industrial construction provides additional protection for installations exposed to temperature extremes, electrical disturbances, and challenging operating conditions.
Six Gigabit Ethernet Ports and One SFP Fiber Port
The six RJ-45 Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000Mbps operation, allowing the SF70760 to connect a variety of Ethernet devices ranging from legacy 10Mbps and 100Mbps equipment to Gigabit network devices.
The additional 1000Mbps SFP slot provides a flexible fiber optic uplink for extending network connectivity beyond the practical limitations of copper Ethernet.
This combination makes the SF70760 well suited for industrial networks that need to connect multiple copper-based devices while maintaining a fiber optic connection to another network segment.
Flexible Gigabit SFP Connectivity
The SF70760 uses interchangeable 1000Mbps SFP modules, allowing the fiber interface to be selected according to the network's fiber type and distance requirements.

17Gbps Switching Capacity
The SF70760 provides 17Gbps switching capacity, an 8K MAC address table, and support for maximum Ethernet frame sizes up to 9.6K bytes.
The non-blocking store-and-forward architecture provides efficient packet forwarding across the switch, while flow-control functions help manage traffic between connected devices.
Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation
The SF70760 is designed as an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, providing simple installation without requiring network configuration or ongoing switch administration.
The copper Ethernet ports support auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDI-X, helping automatically establish the appropriate Ethernet speed and connection configuration.
This makes the SF70760 a practical choice for applications where dependable industrial Ethernet connectivity is more important than advanced network management functions.
Reliable Ethernet Flow Control
The SF70760 supports flow-control functions for reliable Ethernet transmission, including:
- IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation
- Back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation
These functions help regulate traffic and reduce the potential effects of network congestion.
Redundant DC Power
The SF70760 supports dual 9–52VDC power inputs, providing redundant power capability for industrial network installations where maintaining network operation is important.
The redundant power design provides an additional level of reliability for equipment installed in industrial control systems and remote network locations.
4KV Ethernet Surge Protection
The SF70760 incorporates 4KV Ethernet surge protection as part of its industrial protection design.
The switch is also designed with industrial-rated emission and immunity performance for demanding operating environments.
IP44 Metal Industrial Enclosure
The SF70760 is housed in an IP44 metal enclosure designed for industrial installations. The enclosure is corrosion resistant and supports DIN-rail mounting.
This rugged construction makes the switch suitable for installation inside industrial control cabinets, equipment enclosures, and other field-deployed network environments.
Extended Temperature Operation
The SF70760 is designed to operate from -40°C to +80°C, with the same temperature range specified for storage.
The datasheet also specifies 0%–95% relative humidity, non-condensing, allowing the switch to operate in a broad range of industrial environments.
High-Reliability Industrial Design
The SF70760 has an MTBF greater than 100,000 hours and consumes approximately 5 watts of power.
The combination of redundant DC power, surge protection, corrosion-resistant construction, extended-temperature operation, and industrial-rated emission and immunity performance makes the SF70760 well suited for long-term industrial Ethernet deployments.
DIN-Rail Installation
The SF70760 is designed for DIN-rail mounting, providing a convenient installation option for industrial control cabinets and equipment enclosures.
The switch measures approximately 6.14 × 4.53 × 2.36 inches, or 156 × 115 × 60 mm.
