Industrial ECO Switch - 16-Port Switch

The WAGO Industrial-ECO-Switch 852-1116 is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch with 16 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, designed to build reliable communication networks in machines, control cabinets, and automation systems. Its ports support 10/100/1000BASE-T with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX, enabling easy commissioning without any prior configuration.

The device features redundant power supply from 12 to 48 VDC, a configurable alarm contact via DIP switch, LED status indicators, and an aluminum metal housing designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail. Its extended operating range of -40 to +70 °C and resistance to vibration and shock make it a particularly suitable solution for Ethernet networks in industrial environments.

16-port unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch

The WAGO 852-1116 reference includes 16 RJ45 Ethernet interfaces, offering a high connection density in a single device.

As an unmanaged switch, it does not require programming or network configuration to start operating. Simply power it and connect compatible Ethernet devices, making it easy to set up small and medium-sized industrial networks.

16 Gigabit Ethernet ports

The 16 copper ports are compatible with the main Ethernet speeds used in automation:

• 10BASE-T.
• 100BASE-TX.
• 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet.

All ports feature auto-negotiation, so the switch automatically detects the transmission speed supported by the connected device.

Auto-MDI/MDIX on all ports

The Auto-MDI/MDIX function automatically identifies the transmit and receive lines of the Ethernet cable.

This feature simplifies wiring by eliminating the need to distinguish between straight-through and crossover connections on compatible devices, enabling a virtually plug-and-play operation.

Non-blocking Store-and-Forward switching

The WAGO 852-1116 uses Store-and-Forward switching technology and a non-blocking architecture.

The switch receives and checks frames before forwarding them to the destination port, while its architecture allows communications between ports to be handled without the limitations of a blocking switching matrix.

Table for up to 8,000 MAC addresses

The device includes an internal table capable of managing up to 8,000 MAC addresses.

This capacity allows it to learn which devices are connected to each port and direct Ethernet frames to the appropriate destination within the network.

Compatible with Jumbo Frames up to 10,000 bytes

The switch supports Jumbo Frames up to 10,000 bytes, facilitating the transport of larger Ethernet frames when the connected devices and the application also support this feature.

Energy Efficient Ethernet

The WAGO 852-1116 complies with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard.

This technology helps reduce the energy consumption associated with Ethernet links when transmission activity is low, adapting interface operation to the actual network load.

Ethernet traffic prioritization

The device is compatible with IEEE 802.1p for Ethernet packet prioritization.

WAGO also specifies prioritization of packets corresponding to the PROFINET protocol, EtherType 0x8892, a particularly useful feature in automation networks where certain data must receive priority handling.

IEEE 802.3x flow control

Compatibility with IEEE 802.3x Flow Control allows congestion situations in full-duplex Ethernet communications to be managed through flow control mechanisms between compatible devices.

12 to 48 VDC power supply

The Industrial-ECO-Switch features a wide power supply range of 12 to 48 VDC, with a ±15% tolerance.

This flexibility makes it easy to integrate into automation cabinets operating with different industrial DC voltages.

The maximum consumption specified by WAGO is:

• Maximum power: 14 W.
• Maximum current: 1,500 mA.

Redundant power supply

The WAGO 852-1116 includes a redundant power input, increasing network availability when the installation uses two properly configured power supplies.

In systems where communication continuity is important, this feature makes it possible to design a power supply with greater fault tolerance.

Overvoltage and reverse polarity protection

The electronics integrate overvoltage and reverse voltage protection, helping protect the switch against certain incorrect electrical conditions at the power input.

Configurable alarm contact

The device includes a configurable alarm contact via DIP switch, providing an additional signal for monitoring certain incidents.

Along with redundant power supply and LED indicators, this contact increases the diagnostic capabilities of the switch inside the automation cabinet.

LED status indicators

The front panel includes LED indicators for quick checking of the device status and its connections.

• Green PWR: indicates power present.
• Green 1000 per port: indicates operation at 1,000 Mbps.
• Green LNK/ACT per port: indicates link and data transmission activity.

These indicators make commissioning easier and help visually locate possible connection issues.

Cat. 5e or higher Ethernet cable

For copper Ethernet communications, WAGO specifies Cat. 5e category cable or higher.

The maximum supported link length is 100 meters, in line with standard conditions for copper Ethernet networks.

35 mm DIN rail mounting

The switch is designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail, making it easy to integrate directly into electrical panels and automation cabinets.

Its industrial format concentrates the 16 Gigabit ports in a device only 50 mm wide, optimizing the available space on the rail.

Industrial aluminum housing

The housing is made of aluminum with a black metallic finish.

The device has the following dimensions:

• Width: 50 mm.
• Height: 160 mm.
• Depth: 120 mm.
• Weight: approximately 934 g.

Extended temperature range from -40 to +70 °C

One of the main features of the 852-1116 is its extended operating temperature range.

• Operating temperature: -40 to +70 °C.
• Storage temperature: -40 to +80 °C.
• Maximum relative humidity: 95%, non-condensing.

This wide range allows it to be used in cabinets and industrial applications exposed to more demanding environmental conditions than conventional network equipment.

IP30 protection

The switch has an IP30 protection rating.

For this reason, it is intended mainly for indoor installation and inside suitable enclosures or cabinets when the environment requires greater protection against dust, moisture, or water.

Resistant to vibration and shock

WAGO specifies mechanical resistance according to the following standards:

• Vibration: IEC 60068-2-6.
• Shock: IEC 60068-2-27.

These features make the device suitable for industrial environments where equipment installed in electrical cabinets may be exposed to vibration or mechanical impact.

Industrial electromagnetic compatibility

The device meets electromagnetic compatibility requirements specific to industrial environments:

• EMC immunity: EN 61000-6-2.
• EMC emissions: EN 61000-6-4.

Compatible Ethernet standards

The technical documentation for the WAGO 852-1116 specifies compatibility with:

• IEEE 802.3i: 10BASE-T.
