Ethernet switch | PRA-ES8P2S

14.1

Introduction

The PRA-ES8P2S is a compact DIN‑rail mounted Ethernet switch with eight Gigabit copper
ports, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) and two Gigabit SFP combo ports. This Ethernet
switch is an OEM switch, made for Bosch by Advantech for use in Bosch Public Address and
Voice Alarm systems. It is a preconfigured version of the EKI‑7710G‑2CPI‑AE switch, optimized
for PRAESENSA. The PRA-ES8P2S is certified for EN 54‑16 in combination with PRAESENSA
systems. It can be used in addition to the switch ports of the PRAESENSA system controller
and multifunction power supply. This is especially convenient in large systems where more
SFP ports are needed for long distance interconnections on glass fiber or more PoE-enabled
ports are needed to power PRAESENSA call stations.
