- 16 x 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports (RJ45 connectors)
- Does not have Gigabit Ethernet ports (GbE) based on available information.
- Managed Functionality:
- Allows for configuration and monitoring of switch operations through a web interface or command-line interface (CLI).
- Specific management capabilities might include:
- Port configuration (speed, duplex mode, VLANs)
- Security features (access control lists, port security)
- Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing network traffic
- Monitoring switch health and performance
- Modular Design (possible):
- May have modularity for adding additional functionalities or expanding the number of ports. However, confirmation depends on specific model revision and documentation.
- DIN Rail Mounting:
- Designed for mounting on a DIN rail, a standard track for mounting electrical and industrial control devices within enclosures.
Applications:
- Industrial Automation Networks:
- Connecting and managing devices in industrial automation systems like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and industrial sensors.
- Building Automation Systems:
- Potentially used in building automation systems for managing networks of controllers, sensors, and actuators in applications like HVAC, lighting, and security.
- Industrial Machine Control:
- Facilitating communication within machine control systems for industrial processes.
Specifications (based on available information):
- Port Type: 16 x 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (RJ45)
- Management: Web and/or CLI
- Mounting: DIN Rail
- Power Supply: Voltage and power consumption details might be limited due to the product potentially being an older model. Refer to manuals for specifics if available.
