Overview The ToughNet TN-5308 series M12 unmanaged Ethernet switches are designed for industrial applications in harsh environments. The TN series switches use M12 connectors to ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee reliable operation against environmental disturbances, such as vibration and shock. The TN-5308 series Ethernet switches provide 8 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, support IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802/3x with 10/100M, full/half-duplex, MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, and provide an economical solution for your industrial Ethernet network.

Panel/Wall Mounting Mounting the TN-5308-LV/MV on the wall requires 3 screws. Please use the 3 screws packed in the panel mounting kit. STEP 1: Prepare the 3 screw holes on the wall according to the positions of the 3 screw holes on the switch shown on the mounting dimension diagram.
Wiring Requirements WARNING Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The correct power supply voltage is listed on the product label. Check the voltage of your power source to make sure you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than what is specified on the product label.
Connecting the Power Supply The M12/M23 A-coded 5-pin male connector on the TN-5308-LV/MV front panel is used for the DC power input. You have to prepare a power cord with M12/M23 A-coded 5-pin female connector to connect the switch to the DC power input.
Connecting the Data Lines 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection All TN-5308 models have 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (4-pin shielded M12 connectors with D coding). The 10/100TX ports located on the TN-5308’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type...

Dual Speed Functionality & Switching The TN-5308’s 10/100 Mbps switched M12 ports auto negotiate with the connected device to use the fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices. All of Moxa’s ToughNet switches are plug-and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required. The half/full duplex mode for the switched M12 ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
