WoMaster Introduces IDS408GC: Compact 8-Port Gigabit Smart Ethernet Switch for Space-Constrained Industrial Control Cabinets



WoMaster, a leading provider of Industrial IoT networking solutions, proudly announces the IDS408GC, a compact 8-Port Gigabit Smart Ethernet Switch designed to deliver enterprise-class network performance and intelligent Layer 2 management in space-constrained industrial control cabinets.

As industrial automation systems become increasingly connected, control cabinets are expected to accommodate more devices within limited installation space. The IDS408GC addresses this challenge by combining a slim 91 × 95 × 41 mm DIN-rail design with advanced Gigabit networking and comprehensive smart management capabilities, making it an ideal solution for machine builders, factory automation, intelligent transportation, energy systems, and IIoT applications.

Compact Size. Smarter Network.

The IDS408GC provides 8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports in an ultra-compact housing, allowing system integrators to maximize cabinet space without compromising network performance.

With a 16 Gbps switching capacity, 11.9 Mpps forwarding rate, 16K MAC address table, and non-blocking switch fabric, the IDS408GC delivers high-speed, reliable data transmission for demanding industrial Ethernet applications.

Intelligent Layer 2 Network Management

Unlike unmanaged switches, the IDS408GC integrates comprehensive Layer 2 smart management functions that simplify network deployment, improve reliability, and reduce maintenance costs.

Key management features include:

  • VLAN for network segmentation

  • QoS for traffic prioritization

  • IGMP Snooping for multicast optimization

  • DHCP Client

  • Port Mirroring

  • STP / RSTP network redundancy

  • SNMP management

  • Web-based management interface

  • Firmware upgrade and configuration backup/restore

These features enable operators to build secure, resilient, and easily managed industrial Ethernet networks.

Built for Harsh Industrial Environments

Designed specifically for industrial automation, the IDS408GC features a rugged aluminum enclosure with IP40 protection, ensuring dependable operation in challenging environments.

Industrial-grade specifications include:

  • Wide operating temperature: -25°C to 75°C

  • Wide-range 12–58 VDC power input

  • Reverse polarity protection

  • IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection

    • ±15 kV Air Discharge

    • ±8 kV Contact Discharge

The compact metal enclosure and DIN-rail mounting make installation simple inside industrial control panels where space is at a premium.
