FAQs

What are the key features of the Tripp Lite NFIU05A Ethernet Switch?
The NFIU05A is a 5-port unmanaged Ethernet switch featuring 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating ports, EIP QoS support, and a ruggedized metal housing. It offers MAC address auto-learning, automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, and IEEE 802.3x flow control. The switch operates in extreme temperatures from -40°C to 75°C and supports both DIN rail and wall mounting options. It's designed for industrial and commercial applications with a compact form factor measuring 4.3" x 0.9" x 2.9".
What power requirements does the NFIU05A have?
The NFIU05A operates on DC power through a 3-pin terminal block connection, accepting input voltage ranges of 12-48V DC. The switch has a power consumption of 3W and must be supplied by SELV circuit. The terminal block features a 3-wire configuration for secure power connection in industrial environments.
What mounting options are available for the NFIU05A?
The NFIU05A comes with two pre-installed mounting options: a DIN rail clip for mounting to any standard 35mm DIN rail, and rear mounting holes for wall mounting. The compact design (4.3" x 0.9" x 2.9") makes it suitable for installations in space-constrained environments like factory floors and warehouse operations.
What networking standards does the NFIU05A support?
The NFIU05A supports multiple IEEE networking standards including IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.3u (Fast Ethernet), IEEE 802.3x (flow control), and IEEE 802.1p. It operates as a Layer 2 switch with 10/100Base-T connectivity and supports twisted pair media type.
How does the EIP QoS feature work on the NFIU05A?
The NFIU05A's EIP QoS (Ethernet/IP Quality of Service) feature automatically manages data stream priorities based on application requirements. While the switch supports QoS, the feature is handled automatically by the product. For custom traffic flow control or port prioritization, users need to implement a router with QoS tools in their network.
