B&B Electronics Manufacturing has released the ELinX ESW100 series industrial unmanaged Ethernet switches, featuring LC small-form-factor fibre connectors.
Unmanaged Ethernet switches allow network managers to connect additional Ethernet devices and route data to each specific device, controlling network traffic.
Housed in an IP30-rated metal case, the ESW100 DIN Rail switches are also panel mountable. They measure 25mm wide. The five-port ESW105 and eight-port ESW108 models offer either all copper ports, or the option to replace one copper port with an LC multi- or single-mode fibre port.
Industrial-hardened with 61000-6-2 Level 3 Heavy Industrial Certifications, the switches are designed for rugged, noisy, dirty applications such as industrial automation, SCADA, traffic control, water management, building control, and wind power.
The switches are highly immune to the electrical fields generated by motors, pumps and relays, are shock, vibration and free-fall tested, and offer broadcast storm protection.
With dual power ports (12 to 36 VDC and 10 to 24 VAC), the switches run on either AC or DC power and consume 4 watts maximum power. They support IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x standards, offer 2K MAC addresses and operate over a wide temperature range (-10 to 60 degrees C).
