Scalance ethernet switches

The Scalance XB-000 range of unmanaged industrial ethernet switches have IP20 protection, and are suitable for use in industrial environments that are not particularly harsh. Due to the compact box design, the low-cost switches can be fitted on a standard DIN rail in a control cabinet. The XB005, XB008, XB004-1 and XB004-1LD versions have up to eight standard RJ45 ports or four RJ45 ports and a fibre-optic port.

The Scalance XF204IRT is the first switch from the Scalance XF-200 range. It saves space as a result of its flat design with the cable outlet sloping downward. This switch allows users to design isochronous real-time ethernet segments, and can be operated directly in a ring topology as a managed switch and used for standby coupling with other network segments in order to guarantee high network availability. It also offers a built-in redundancy manager function.

The X108PoE unmanaged switch with Power-over-Ethernet function has been added to the Scalance X-100 range. The X108PoE switch is suitable for designing electrical star and line topologies in machine and plant components. The integral securing collars permit the connection of up to eight RJ45 FastConnect plugs. It has a rugged metal housing with IP30 protection for space-saving installation in a control cabinet, either on a standard DIN rail, on an S7-300 rail, or with direct wall mounting.
