FAQ

The combo ports offer great flexibility. Each port can be used either as a standard 100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 copper port or as a fiber optic port by inserting an appropriate SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver. This allows for easy adaptation to different media types and network distances without needing a separate media converter.

As a managed switch, it supports key industrial protocols and features like PROFINET (conformance class B), MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) for ring redundancy, VLANs for network segmentation, and diagnostics via web interface, SNMP, or PROFINET. This enables comprehensive network monitoring and configuration.

Yes, the label indicates certifications for hazardous locations, including ATEX (Ex ec IIC T4 Gc) and IECEx. It also has an impressive operating temperature range from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for deployment in harsh and uncontrolled industrial environments.
