Moxa supplier in Romania
Ethernet switches and gateways for industrial networks
Founded in 1987
Who is Moxa and what does it make?
Moxa is a Taiwanese manufacturer of industrial networking equipment, active since 1987 in connectivity for automation. The company designs industrial Ethernet switches, serial device servers, secure routers and fanless edge computers, all designed for environments with vibration, dust or large temperature variations. From the Moxa range we can quote to order managed and unmanaged Ethernet switches, NPort family serial servers and DA series industrial computers, for integrators building or extending automation networks in factories, electrical substations or railway systems.
Moxa switches cover speeds from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, with EN 50155 certified variants for railway rolling stock and others ready for substation environments under IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613. The NPort series of serial servers converts RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 ports into Ethernet connections, with options from one port up to 32 ports, DIN rail or rack mounting, and ATEX or DNV GL certified variants for explosive atmospheres or marine applications.
For the Romanian market, Moxa makes sense where the network must withstand harsh conditions — halls with vibration, transformer substations, train carriages — and where an office switch would not survive thermally or electrically. Typical projects are SCADA upgrades, integrating PLCs into the network and connecting old serial equipment to new Ethernet infrastructure.
What do we supply from the Moxa range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| NPort serial device servers | They convert RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial ports into Ethernet connections, with variants from one port to 32 ports and RJ45, DB9, terminal block or fibre optic connectors. DIN rail, desktop or rack mounting, with optional ATEX, DNV GL or EN 50155 certifications. Typical application: bringing older industrial equipment with a serial interface onto the network. For a quotation, the customer must state the number of ports, the type of interface and whether a particular certification is needed. |
| Industrial Ethernet switches | The range includes unmanaged switches, for simple installation, and managed switches with network redundancy and security functions, at speeds from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. DIN rail, rack or wall mounting, with standard or extended operating temperatures and certifications for substations (IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613) or railways (EN 50155). For a correct quotation we need the number of ports, the speed wanted and the installation environment. |
| DA series fanless industrial computers | Fanless x86 computers; for example, DA-920E is a fanless 2U rackmount server intended for electrical substations and railway applications. They run automation edge applications or data collection right next to the process equipment. For sizing, the customer must specify the software application to be run and the number of I/O ports needed. |
| Secure routers and cellular gateways | Routers provide secure connectivity between isolated networks and IT infrastructure, with firewall and VPN; cellular gateways add 4G/5G for sites without fixed cabling. Typical application: remote connection of pumping stations or mobile equipment to a control centre. The customer must state the type of cellular network available locally. |

How do we supply Moxa in Romania?
For Moxa we work from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we confirm the exact availability in the quotation — we tell you clearly what we confirm before sending a quotation. We bring in Moxa network equipment to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks of order confirmation, without permanent availability from stock for every model. To prepare a correct quotation, send us the exact product code or, if you do not have it, the number of ports and the interface wanted, the certifications needed and the quantity.
We do not confirm the real-time availability of every Moxa code and we do not offer proprietary software configuration for managed switches.
Frequently asked questions about Moxa
What is the difference between Moxa EDS-510A and EDS-510E series switches?
Both models have the same port configuration, seven plus three Gigabit, but they are different series. The choice between the two depends on the management protocols already used in the network and the level of redundancy needed at switch level.
Do you supply Moxa equipment in Romania to order?
Moxa equipment requested for a specific need is ordered directly on the basis of the EDS code confirmed with the customer; it is not a permanently maintained stock with us, and the lead time is usually 1–4 weeks. We refer to the manufacturer's public data sheets to establish the exact number of ports and the power supply variants available for each model.
Which Moxa switch should I choose for PoE+ power to IP cameras?
For powering IP cameras, the EDS-P506E and EDS-P510A series offer Gigabit ports with PoE+ support, the difference being the total number of ports available, four plus two and eight plus two respectively. The choice depends on the number of cameras or access points that must be powered from the same switch, and on the total power demanded by each connected device.
What information do I send for a quotation for a Moxa industrial switch?
Specify the number of ports needed, whether Gigabit speed is required on all ports or only on the uplink, and whether certain ports must supply PoE power to cameras or access points. Also state the temperature conditions in the cabinet, because some industrial variants have extended operating ranges compared with standard models.
How do I request a Moxa quotation?
Send the Moxa code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
