Overview
The ToughNet TN-4500A Series M12 managed 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 wide 24 to 110 VDC dual power inputs
increases the reliability of your communications.
The TN-4500A Series includes PoE, non-PoE, and fiber switches.
•TN-4516A non-PoE models: 12 Fast Ethernet M12 ports; 4 Gigabit
Ethernet ports.
•TN-4516A PoE models: 12 Fast Ethernet M12 ports with PoE
functionality; 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE functionality.
•TN-4516A fiber (ODC) models: 12 Fast Ethernet M12 ports with PoE
functionality; 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE functionality; 2
Gigabit Ethernet ports with a Q-ODC fiber connector.
•TN-4524A PoE models: 24 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, 16 with PoE
functionality.
•TN-4528A PoE models: 24 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, 16 with PoE
functionality; 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE functionality.
•TN-4528A fiber (ODC) models: 24 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, 16 with
PoE functionality; 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE functionality; 2
Gigabit Ethernet ports with a Q-ODC fiber connector.
The -40 to 75°C operating temperature and IP42-rated waterproof
enclosure allow deployment in harsh environments. The TN-4500A
Series Ethernet switches are compliant with mandatory sections of EN
50155, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge,
ESD, and vibration, as well as conformal coating and power insulation,
making the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.

Hardware Version Appearance
The appearance of different TN-4500A Series hardware versions may
not be similar. For example, the shape and positions of LEDs on the TN-
4516A hardware version 3.x are different from previous hardware
versions. Secondly, the trenches on the front side are removed for
hardware version 3.x. You can also refer to the device label to
differentiate different device hardware versions (Rev).
