Introducing Winmate’s New Marine Switch for Reliable Onboard Connectivity

Winmate, Taipei, 04.09.2025 - Ever tried to power bridge cameras, radar displays, ECDIS terminals, and Wi-Fi access points from one reliable network? Modern vessels rely on integrated digital systems, yet constant vibration, 24/7 operation, and the demands of multiple connected devices make stable connectivity a challenge. A marine computer system needs straightforward power delivery, rapid failover, secure access, and easy rollout, without adding complexity for the crew.

Introducing Winmate’s New Marine Switch

The Winmate Marine Switch (EACSW & EACSW-L2) delivers dependable network connectivity for a wide range of onboard systems. It integrates effortlessly with marine computer networks, providing the speed, flexibility, and management capabilities required to keep navigation, communication, and essential services operating without interruption.

Key Features of the Winmate Marine Switch

Power and Data Through a Single Cable

With 8 PoE Fast Ethernet ports, you can connect and power bridge cameras, intercom systems, Wi-Fi access points, and other onboard devices without separate power lines, while 2 Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports handle uplinks to your core network.

Flexible Fiber Connectivity for Long Runs

The built-in SFP socket lets you add fiber modules for reliable, long-distance links between decks or to critical equipment rooms, ensuring smooth data flow even across large vessels.

Stable and Reliable Network Connectivity

Gigabit X-Ring Pro and RSTP/STP protocols provide sub-20 ms failover, keeping navigation displays, security feeds, and control systems online even if a primary link is disrupted.

Quick and Simple Setup Across Multiple Units

The IXM fast deployment function allows crews to clone and push switch settings to multiple units, reducing setup time during dockside maintenance or new vessel commissioning.

Secure, Centralized Network Management

Built-in 802.1x authentication with encryption and RADIUS support protects against unauthorized access, while SNMP, web, and Telnet management tools make it easy for IT teams to monitor and adjust network performance from a central console.
