Request a price
The ATOP EHG2408 is a lite-managed industrial Gigabit switch with 6 × 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports plus 2 × MACsec-capable secure ports, either RJ45 or SFP. Its hardware IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encrypts traffic on those links with GCM-AES and no added latency, and keys are negotiated automatically by pre-shared key. It runs on 9-48 V redundant inputs in an IP30 metal DIN-rail housing.

Description
As more and more devices come online and networks open to the internet to make operational and communication gains with IIoT based services, security has become paramount for ensuring that your network’s traffic stays between your devices, with network vulnerabilities including unauthorized data access and unauthorized network commands, risking loss of data and operational downtimes.
Featuring 6 x Gigabit RJ45 ports and the choice between 2 x Secure Gigabit RJ45 ports or 2 x Secure Gigabit SFP uplink slots, ATOP’s EHG2408 switch series provides a plug-and-play solution for fast, reliable network switching that offers increased network security through MACsec encryption.
Providing point-to-point security on Ethernet links between nodes, MACsec uses GCM-AES to ensure the integrity of all network traffic. This means it can secure a network from a whole host of security threats, including intrusion, man-in-the-middle, masquerading, passive wiretapping, and playback attacks. And because MACsec encryption is hardware-based, there is no added latency.
With its modern, slim, and flat design to minimize surface area usage, the EHG2408 series is ideal for demanding industrial applications that require compact solutions while delivering high network performance. Supporting a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C and being compliant with essential sections of EN 60950, UL/IEC 60950, EN/IEC(CB)/UL62368-1, and MIL-STD-810G, the EHG2408 switch series is a powerful compact device that can perform under a variety of environmental conditions, such as power input voltage, shock, drop and vibration.

Specifications taken from the manufacturer datasheet.
Which version do I need?
This page covers the EHG2408 series. ATOP lists two codes: EHG2408, with 6 general Gigabit RJ45 ports plus 2 MACsec-capable Gigabit RJ45 ports, and EHG2408-2SFP, with 6 general Gigabit RJ45 ports plus 2 MACsec-capable Gigabit SFP slots. Everything else is shared. Choose by the medium of the link you want to encrypt: copper for short in-building runs, SFP for fibre between buildings or cabinets.
Typical applications for the EHG2408
- Encrypting links from business-critical departments or control rooms back to a core switch
- Protecting SCADA and PLC traffic that leaves a locked cabinet
- Securing connections to storage or NAS on a shared industrial network
- Fibre links between buildings where the cable route is not physically secure (EHG2408-2SFP)
- Smart city networks where edge links are exposed to tampering
- Profinet cells that need prioritised traffic plus encrypted uplinks

EHG2408 — frequently asked questions
What does MACsec protect against?
MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) provides point-to-point security on Ethernet links using GCM-AES to protect the integrity of all traffic. ATOP lists protection against intrusion, man-in-the-middle, masquerading, passive wiretapping and playback attacks.
Does the encryption slow the network down?
No. MACsec encryption on the EHG2408 is hardware-based, so it adds no latency.
Do I have to configure encryption keys?
No. The switch CPU negotiates keys with LAN hosts automatically using a pre-shared key (PSK), so manual configuration is not required.
What is the difference between the EHG2408 and the EHG2408-2SFP?
Both have 6 general Gigabit RJ45 ports. The EHG2408 adds 2 MACsec-capable Gigabit RJ45 ports, while the EHG2408-2SFP adds 2 MACsec-capable Gigabit SFP slots for fibre.
What power and temperature range does it support?
9-48 V on redundant power inputs with a relay output. ATOP's selection guide rates it 0 to +60°C in operation and -40 to +60°C in storage.
Which management and redundancy features are included?
RSTP for link redundancy, SNMPv1/v2c/v3 and Modbus TCP, and it prioritises Profinet packets.
