SEL-2730M
Managed 24-Port Ethernet Switch
Product Change Notice—Last-Time Buy SEL is announcing a Last-Time Buy (LTB) for the SEL-2730M. It will no longer be available for purchase after January 7, 2027. We recommend using the SEL-2731 Ethernet Switch or the SEL-2741 Ethernet Switch in its place. The SEL-2730M is designed to operate in harsh environments, like those found in electric utility substations and industrial plants. The switch provides Ethernet connectivity for SCADA, engineering access, and control, and it offers the same reliability found in SEL protective relays. The SEL-2730M meets or exceeds IEEE 1613 (Class 1), IEC 61850-3, and IEC 60255 industry standards for vibration, electrical surges, fast transients, extreme temperatures, and electrostatic discharge.

Maximized Ethernet Network Robustness
Designed, built, and tested for trouble-free operation in extreme conditions, the SEL-2730M meets or exceeds IEEE 1613 (Class 1) and IEC 61850-3 standards for communications devices in electric power substations.
Reliability in Harsh Environments
Connect to primary and backup power sources simultaneously with dual, hot-swappable power supplies. This ensures that there will not be a loss of service due to a single power source failure. The design minimizes the number of interface points on printed circuit boards (PCBs), resulting in greater reliability. With no fans or other moving parts, the SEL-2730M employs the most robust technology available for demanding applications.
Easy Network Commissioning
Easily install and configure the SEL-2730M. Setting up priority messaging via VLANs is simplified to ensure the transmission of IEC 61850 GOOSE messages and current differential traffic to IEDs while segmenting protection, control, and automation traffic. You can update settings either through a secure web interface or acSELerator QuickSet SEL-5030 Software. Using the configuration file makes backups and restoration easy.
Flexible, Modular Design
Upgrade existing sites with 4 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and 16 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet ports, built as 4-port modules. Each of the 10/100 Mbps copper port modules can be ordered with single- or multimode fiber-optic ports to meet your network's unique requirements. In addition, you can add up to 4 fiber-optic or Copper Gigabit Ethernet ports via small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers for a total of 24 ports.
Secure Network Management
Increase security with the SNMPv3 and HTTPS features on the SEL-2730M. SNMPv3 provides secure network management and is interoperable with existing network management systems (NMS). An HTTPS web interface provides secure and intuitive switch management. Map configurable system and security events to the alarm contact for alarming through an external system, such as an existing SCADA network.
Network Integrity Protection
Use a Bridge Port Data Unit (BPDU) guard in the SEL-2730M to prevent unauthorized network extensions. Provide central authentication with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or one- or two-factor authentication with Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS). Protect client saturation with rate limiting.
Network Topology Configuration
Use any of the available 4,094 VLANs for switch-to-switch connections with the SEL-2730M. Monitor VLAN configurations with easy-to-read graphics. Monitor the status through Syslog and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
