5/8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switches with SFP-Slots

5/8 Port Gigabit Ethernet switches with SFP-Slots for rough environments, with up to 8 GBE ports. The basic products are designed for copper-based networks and have 5 or 8 RJ-45 ports with 10/100/1000Base-T. The 5 port version may optionally be provided with an SFP port and is therefore ideally suited for use in a fibre optic network. The pluggable SFP transceiver provides the greatest possible flexibility when selecting the optical connection. The product with the highest port number of this range has two modular SFP ports. Ports 7 and 8 may optionally be used via the RJ-45 or SFP port. An important feature is the dual speed capability of the SFP port. Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X) as well as Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX) are supported, in which case provision takes place via a suitable SFP transceiver. In this way Fast Ethernet fibre optic networks can be easily incorporated into Gigabit structures. The devices are taken into operation without any manual configuration (plug & play). Ports are set automatically by Auto Negotiation (10/100/1000Base-T) and Auto MDI/MDI-X.

5/8 Port Fast Ethernet Switches

5/8 Port Fast Ethernet switches with 5x or 8x RJ-45 copper ports. Extended switch versions are equipped with additional fibre optic ports. For example, in addition to the 4x 10/100Base-TX ports in the 5 port version, a fibre optic port is available in the multimode or single mode version. The 6 port Fast Ethernet switch also has two fibre optic ports and can therefore be used for cascading. The devices can be operated immediately and require no configuration. Ports are set automatically by Auto-Negotiation (10/100/1000Base-T) and Auto MDI/MDI-X. The power supply ports are designed redundantly. An isolated alarm contact reports a possible fault in the power supply of the device.

6 Port Fast Ethernet Ring Switch with PoE Option

This 6 port Fast Ethernet Switch has two fibre optic connectors compliant with 100Base-FX, which permit switching to a fault-tolerant fibre optic ring. In the event of a fault, a mechanism patented by MICROSENS facilitates reconfiguration in less than 100 ms (milliseconds). The devices are generally equipped with integrated network management. Extensive switch functions may be easily configured using the web interface/SNMP/Telnet or NMP-software. An optional version supports the full Power-over-Ethernet function on all four RJ-45 subscriber ports in accordance with IEEE Std. 802.3af. An intelligent power management system monitors the current power consumption of connected terminal devices. These industrial switches also offer four 10/100Base-TX connections for linking such Ethernet terminals as machine controls, network uplinks, consoles and other network participants. The power supply of this version is realised via a 48 VDC input terminal in redundant design.

8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The 8 port Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch is characterised by the full Gigabit support which is provided to all of the eight 10/100/1000Base-T ports. The Gigabit performance means that more reserve capacity can be set aside for time-critical applications or for increasing bandwidth. This also has a direct impact on the stability and availability of networks. Two of the eight RJ-45 ports are designed for alternative use via an SFP module. Due to the modular design it is possible to freely combine the appropriate SFP multimode and Single Mode transceivers as well as different choices of range. A further advantage is the dual speed support (100Base-FX/1000Base-X) of the SFP module. This allows Gigabit and Fast Ethernet fibre optic networks to be directly coupled to each other. The construction of a fault-tolerant fibre optic ring is possible via the SFP ports. A special mechanism (M-Ring) makes network reconfiguration possible in less than 20 ms (milliseconds) in the event of a fault. For critical networks the central connection of a Gigabit Ethernet switch may take place via the dual homing function.

10 Port Gigabit Ethernet Ring Switch with PoE option

This 10 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch has up to three Gigabit Ethernet fibre optic connectors in compliance with 1000Base-SX/LX, which permit building up a fault tolerant fibre optic ring. In the event of a fault, a mechanism patented by MICROSENS facilitates automatic reconfiguration in less than 20 ms (milliseconds).The SFP version offers the dual speed support of the SFP port for data rate adjustment (1000Base-X and 100Base-FX). The switch version with SMC card is particularly service-friendly because the entire configuration of the device can be stored in one removable medium. The configuration can be simply transferred.

10 Port GBE Switch for Railway & Power Substation Applications

This 10 Port Gigabit Ethernet Ring switch version has been specially certified for applications in the area of rail traffic and power substations. Certification in accordance with the standards EN50121-4:2006 (for more stringent EMC requirements on electromagnetic interference resistance) and EN50125-3:2003 (temperature, climate, vibration and shock resistance) means the device may be installed directly in 1m distance from the rail track. The accredited Gigabit switch has 1000Base-X fibre optic ports permitting the construction of a fibre optic ring (fast redundancy). The fast redundancy is made possible by a mechanism patented by MICROSENS that executes a reconfiguration of the Ethernet network in a millisecond in the event of a fault.
