This is a small ethernet switch that I designed to fit in an existing T-Joint for a modular system. It replaces longer, daisy chained cables and results in a star topology instead. This switch is also useful as a small footprint ethernet splitter. Because of the chosen switch chip, the compact design could easily be modified to include up to 5 ports if necessary.

Features:

• Wide input power supply accepts up to 60V
• 3 100BASE-TX Ethernet Ports
• Small form-factor
