ZDIGNS8 - Digital Yacht NS8 Network Switch 8 Port

Digital Yacht NS8 Network Switch 8 Port

• 8 Port Network Switch
• 12/24/48v DC low power operation
• Dual redundancy power supply design
• Connects to router via RJ45 Cat 5/6 network cable connection
• Supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet Gigabit base-T
• DIN Rail (IEC/EN 60715 — 35 7.5mm) mounting bracket and 100mm rail included
• Status indicators for power and network link status

Digital Yacht’s NS8 Network Switch is a rugged and reliable 8 port 10/100/1000 base-T network switch that is ideal for expanding a wired Ethernet network onboard a vessel.

More and more boats now have a wireless router fitted or utilise devices like our 4G Connect for internet connectivity. For optimum data transfer speed, a wired Ethernet connection still offers the fastest and most reliable network connection onboard a boat and for Streaming TV, VOIP, Security Cameras and other data intensive services we always recommend using a wired connection.

Our NS8 Network Switch provides a simple and rugged solution to increasing the number of wired Ethernet connections on the vessel. Designed to operate from DC supply, with dual redundancy power supply design, a DIN rail mount and eight RJ45 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, the NS8 allows you to reliably expand your boat’s Ethernet network.

Installation could not be easier, simply connect one of the NS8’s RJ45 sockets to a LAN socket on our 4GConnect or 4GXtream routers, using a normal network cable and wire the NS8 directly to the boat’s 12v, 24v or 48v DC supply. Our 4G router will continue to provide IP addresses to any device plugged in to the NS8 (via DHCP) and you can immediately see the status of all the Ethernet connections by the flashing Yellow and Green LEDs on each of the NS8’s ports.

The Digital Yacht NS8 Network Switch is an 8-port 10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet switch designed for expanding wired networks in environments requiring robust DC power operation. This unit, identified by part number ZDIGNS8, addresses the need for reliable, high-speed wired connections where wireless might be insufficient, such as for streaming TV, VOIP, or security cameras. It is particularly suited for marine applications, operating on 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power with a dual redundancy power supply for enhanced reliability. The NS8 connects to an existing router via an RJ45 Cat 5/6 network cable and provides eight additional RJ45 ports for devices. Installation is simplified with a DIN Rail mounting bracket and included 100mm rail, and status indicators provide visual feedback on power and network link status. This switch offers a practical solution for IT professionals and integrators needing to expand wired Ethernet connectivity in specialized DC-powered setups.
