Is Ethernet Switch Required to Be Certified by DJID SDPPI Postel? - Cerapproval - Indonesia SDPPI Certification & Type Approval Agency

In today’s digital age, computer networks are the backbone of communication and data transfer in various sectors. One important device in network infrastructure is the Ethernet Switch. This device serves to connect various computers, servers, and other network devices in an efficient and organized system.

What Is an Ethernet Switch?

An Ethernet switch is a network device that connects multiple devices within a local area network (LAN) and directs data traffic only to the intended device, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing network congestion. Operating at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, switches use MAC (Media Access Control) addresses to send data packets accurately, unlike hubs, which send them to all devices. Unlike hubs, switches are capable of sending data only to the intended device, resulting in more efficient, faster, and secure network performance.

Ethernet switches come in various types and capacities, ranging from unmanaged switches for home or small office needs to managed switches for large companies and industries that require complex network configurations.

Is Ethernet Switch Certification Required in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, every telecommunications device that has data communication and network connection functions must be certified by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and Digital (Komdigi) through the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure (DJID).

Although Ethernet Switches primarily transmit signals via cable rather than wireless, they are still considered network communication devices and must undergo technical testing and compliance evaluation to ensure safety, interoperability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The certification process typically involves:

Product testing by accredited laboratories,
Documentation review (including datasheets and test reports),
And official DJID certificate issuance by Kominfo.
