Industrial Ethernet · Rugged
'Rugged' is a claim, not a specification. This page sets out the ratings that decide whether an industrial switch survives your site — and the datasheet discipline ONV applies to every model.
Send Your Site Conditions for a Shortlist Browse the PoE range

Every industrial switch is marketed as rugged; few pages tell you what to verify. The honest checklist is short: the operating temperature range in the datasheet (not the brochure), the surge and lightning protection level, the IP rating of the enclosure approach, vibration and shock tolerance where the site moves, and the ring recovery behaviour when — not if — a cable is cut. ONV publishes these per model in each datasheet, and our position is simple: no rating enters a quotation unless it is printed in the chosen model's datasheet.
The models below are the industrial line's managed flagships — the class from which harsh-site backbones are built. Send us the site conditions (temperature extremes, cabinet or pole mounting, surge exposure, ring size) and we will return a shortlist with the datasheet pages that prove each rating, rather than a label.

The ONV-IPS36448FM's verified datasheet values — 176 Gbps capacity, 119.04 Mpps forwarding, 32K MAC, console management — are the kind of numbers we quote. Its environmental ratings are confirmed from the same datasheet when a project specifies the model.
| Parameter | Datasheet value |
|---|---|
| Switching capacity | 176 Gbps (non-blocking) |
| Forwarding rate | 119.04 Mpps @64byte |
| MAC address table | 32K |
| Buffer memory | 32M |
| Power input | Built-in PSU, AC100–240V, 60W |
| Console | 1 × console port |
| Standards | IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u / 802.3ab / 802.3z / 802.3ae / 802.3x |
Specify the site before the switch: temperature at the cabinet in the worst week of the year, whether the enclosure is sealed or vented, lightning exposure of the runs, and the mechanical environment (a pole vibrates; a tunnel wall sweats; a factory floor does both). Match each condition to a printed datasheet rating. Where a rating is absent, treat the model as unrated for that condition — that discipline, applied consistently, is what 'rugged' procurement means.
Outdoor corridors and poles, tunnels and underpasses, energy and utility sites, ports and heavy industry — the sites where commercial hardware fails in its first season.
Demand the range your site actually reaches, from the datasheet of the exact model — industrial models in the catalogue carry their ratings individually. A cabinet in direct sun can exceed ambient by 20°C; measure or over-specify.
The switch rating and the enclosure rating are separate questions. Outdoor builds put the switch inside a rated enclosure; the switch's own job is temperature, surge and vibration tolerance, all per its datasheet.
Send your port count, per-port power and uplink requirements — we reply with the exact models, datasheets and a quotation. MOQ and lead time are confirmed per model and order scope in the quotation.
