Description
The Ethernet Switch built for Compact Tech
SwitchBlox is a small ethernet switch, from BotBlox, with five 10/100MB ports, specifically designed for space-constrained and noisy environments.
With an overall size of 44.5mm (1.75 inches) by 44.5mm (1.75 inches), SwitchBlox is the smallest network switch in the world, making it perfect for robots, drones, or any space-limited networking application.
Plug and play network switch
As an unmanaged network switch, it works straight out the box, all you need to do is...
- Apply a 5 to 60V DC supply.
- Connect your devices using the included cable set.
- It will automatically begin forwarding packets, no coding or setup needed.
Dimensions
BotBlox have squeezed all necessary Ethernet circuitry into SwitchBlox without making performance compromises. They use magnetics for improved signal integrity and electrical isolation between each ethernet bus.

Cabling
BotBlox use Molex Picoblade connectors on all our boards to keep them tiny. All boards ship with a cable set included, which consists of:
5 x PicoBlade to RJ-45 300mm (SKU: BB-PBRJ1-4-0.3)
1 x PicoBlade to bare wires 300mm (SKU: BB-PBTL1-4-0.3)
Ethernet Pinout
Below is a handy graphic that shows how we transition from a Molex Picoblade pinout to the standard RJ-45 ethernet cables. For 10/100 Mbps ethernet we use two differential channels, transmit and receive, for a total of four conductors.
