Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as drop-in or functional replacements for the MOXA ES-1026. Always verify port count, power input range, and temperature rating before substitution.
- MOXA EDS-2528 — Managed upgrade; adds VLAN, RSTP, SNMP for enhanced network control
- MOXA EDS-G308 — Gigabit upgrade option for bandwidth-intensive applications
- Hirschmann RS20-2400T1T1SDAEHH — 24-port unmanaged, IEC 61850 compliant, suitable for substation use
- Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH SFN 24TX — 24-port unmanaged, 24 VDC, DIN-Rail, comparable form factor
- Siemens SCALANCE X208 — 8-port managed alternative; consider for smaller node counts with management needs
- Advantech EKI-2528 — 8-port unmanaged; suitable for smaller sub-panel replacements
Note: Konmask.com recommends verifying all electrical and mechanical parameters with your system integrator before substitution.

Selection Guide
Use the criteria below to determine whether the ES-1026 or an alternative best fits your project:
- Port count needed ≤ 24, no management required → ES-1026 is the optimal choice
- Need VLAN / RSTP / SNMP management → Upgrade to MOXA EDS-2528 (managed)
- Need Gigabit uplinks → Consider MOXA EDS-G308 or EDS-G512E
- Extended temperature (-40°C) required → Specify MOXA ES-1026-T wide-temp variant
- IEC 61850 substation compliance required → Evaluate Hirschmann RS20 series
- Budget-constrained replacement → Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH SFN 24TX offers comparable unmanaged performance

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the ES-1026 replace a managed switch in my existing network?
A: Only if your application does not require VLAN segmentation, RSTP loop protection, or SNMP monitoring. For managed features, select the EDS-2528.
Q: Is the ES-1026 compatible with PROFINET?
A: The ES-1026 passes standard Ethernet frames including PROFINET RT traffic. It does not support PROFINET MRP ring redundancy — use a PROFINET-certified managed switch for that requirement.
Q: What is the difference between ES-1026 and ES-1026-T?
A: The “-T” suffix denotes the wide-temperature variant rated -40°C to 75°C, suitable for outdoor cabinets or extreme environments.
Q: Can I mix ES-1026 with other MOXA switches in the same network?
A: Yes. As an unmanaged switch, the ES-1026 is fully interoperable with any IEEE 802.3/802.3u compliant device.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of origin?
A: Yes, COO and other trade documents are available upon request for customs clearance purposes.
