MOXA TN-G4500 Series EN 50155 Layer 2 Multi Gigabit Switches
Overview
The toughness TN-G4500 Series of M12-managed Ethernet switches are designed for railway applications, including rolling stock and wayside installations. The switches use M12 and other circular connectors to ensure tight, robust connections and guarantee reliable operation in industrial environments where vibration and shock are commonplace. These PoE switches are classified as power source equipment (PSE); they provide up to 30 watts of power per port and can be used to power IEEE 802.3at/af compliant powered devices (PDs), such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones. The TN-G4500 Series has push-pull M12 connectors that are tailor-made for push-pull cables in order to facilitate quick installation, and also allow M12 rotary cables to be utilized. The 24 to 110 VDC wide power input range and isolated dual power inputs not only allow the same type of power source at different sites around the globe but also increase the reliability of communications systems. Furthermore, the -40 to 70°C operating temperature capability makes the switches suitable for deployment in harsh environments. The TN-G4500 Series of Ethernet switches are compliant with the essential sections of EN 50155, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, as well as conformal coating and power insulation, which makes the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.

Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
Panel/Wall Mounting
STEP 1: Mounting the TN-G4500 to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the ToughNet switch as a guide to mark the correct positions of the 4 screws.
STEP 2: Use the 4 screws in the panel mounting kit. If you would like to use your own screws, make sure the screw head is between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm in diameter and the shaft is less than 4.0 mm in diameter, as shown at the right .
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the ToughNet switch between the wall and the screws.
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and shaft size are suitable by inserting the screw through one of the keyhole- shaped apertures of the ToughNet switch.
STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed in the wall, hang the ToughNet switch on the 4 screws through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the switch downwards. Tighten the four screws for added stability .
NOTE To provide greater protection from vibration and shock, use screws with shaft diameter between 6.0 mm and 7.0 mm, and fix the ToughNet switch onto the wall directly through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures.
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. These devices must be
supplied by a SELV source as defined in the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
and 2004/108/EC.
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa switch. This device has UL 62368-1 approval. Use copper conductors only, 70°C, and tighten to 4.5 pound-inches. For use in pollution degree 2 environments.
Safety First!
Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
Please read and follow these guidelines:
-
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. -
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
-
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
-
It is strongly advised that you label wiring for all devices in the system when necessary.
Grounding the ToughNet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the grounding screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
To ground this product to earth, use a green and yellow AWG 16 or higher
grounding cable.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface
such as a metal panel.
Connecting the Power Supplies
The ToughNet TN-G4500 Series switches support dual power inputs—power input 1 and power input 2. The M12 K-coded 5-pin male connector on the TN-G4500 Series switches’ front panel is used for the dual power inputs.

STEP 1: Plug your power cord connector into the power input port of the
TN-G4500 switch.
STEP 2: Screw the nut on your power cord connector into the power input
connector on the switch to ensure a tight connection.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the TN-G4500 Series to the power input, make sure the power
source voltage is stable.
ATTENTION
Do not power on the TN-G4500 Series before connecting the M12 power connector.
Connecting the Serial Port
The TN-G4500 Series has a M12 B-coded 5-pin female connector. Users can use an adapter to connect a management PC and control the device using commands through the CLI (Command-Line Interface).

Connecting the Data Lines
Ethernet Port Connection
The TN-G4500 Series has 12 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (M12 X-coded
8-pin female connector) and 4 10G BaseT(X) Ethernet ports. 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 or HUB
/Switch-type) connected to the port. In what follows, we give pinouts for both
MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable
wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
