Product Features
Technical Overview
This Layer 2 switch delivers full wire-speed switching across all five Gigabit Ethernet ports, with each port supporting auto-negotiation for speed and duplex settings along with auto-MDIX detection to eliminate crossover cable requirements. The switch supports jumbo frames up to 9K for improved efficiency in data-intensive applications and implements IEEE 802.3x flow control to prevent packet loss during network congestion.
Power is supplied through a wide-range redundant DC power system with two 12-58V terminal block inputs, providing flexibility for various industrial power sources. The switch includes overcurrent and reverse polarity protection to safeguard against power irregularities, along with an alarm relay for remote monitoring of power status. With a power consumption of 62W and compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet, it balances performance with power efficiency.
