CubePilot CubeLAN 8-Port Switch

The CubePilot CubeLAN 8-Port Switch (CP-06342) is an ultra-compact, lightweight Ethernet switch designed specifically for the rigorous demands of UAVs, robotics, and embedded systems. Weighing in at just 13.5g, this miniature networking hub allows you to seamlessly connect up to eight Ethernet-enabled peripherals—such as companion computers, IP cameras, datalinks, and LiDAR sensors—creating a unified, high-speed communication network onboard your vehicle.

Engineered for tight integrations, the CubeLAN features a tiny footprint of 41mm x 52mm, making it easy to tuck into crowded avionics bays. It operates on a flexible 4V to 5.5V input range, perfect for powering directly from standard flight controller BECs or 5V rails. The switch supports 10/100 Mbps speeds with Auto MDI-MDIX functionality, automatically detecting cable types and eliminating the need for crossover cables.

Built to pair perfectly with the Cube Orange and Cube Red ecosystems, it uses secure JST-GH style connectors to ensure vibration-resistant connections during flight. Whether you are building a complex inspection drone or an autonomous rover, the CubeLAN simplifies your wiring and expands your onboard network capabilities without adding unnecessary bulk.

Key Features:

• 8-Port Connectivity: Connects up to 8 Ethernet devices in a centralized hub.

• Ultra-Lightweight: Weighs only 13.5g, ideal for weight-sensitive aerial platforms.
