GE IS420ESWBH2A Industrial Ethernet Switch

When you’re dealing with high-stakes industrial networks, reliability isn’t just a feature—it’s a requirement. The GE IS420ESWBH2A fits right into that category. I’ve seen this unmanaged switch become a go-to solution for clients needing rock-solid connectivity in environments where failure isn’t an option. Whether you’re upgrading legacy systems or building new installations from scratch, this switch forms the backbone of critical communication between automation components.

Real-World Applications

This switch really shines when you’re dealing with mission-critical systems. A recent customer in the energy sector used it to connect their turbine control systems—those fiber ports maintained stable communication even with EMI from massive generators. You’ll find it equally at home in:

• Manufacturing plants connecting PLCs and HMIs
• Power generation facilities monitoring equipment status
• Process control systems requiring deterministic data transfer

Need compatibility with existing infrastructure? We regularly pair this with other GE components like VMIVME modules or IC698CPE010 controllers. Our inventory covers most Mark VIe system components, making upgrades smoother than trying to source parts individually.
