FL SWITCH SFN 5TX Phoenix Contact Industrial Ethernet Switch

The Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH SFN Industrial Ethernet Switches with standard functions in numerous versions can be used for quick and cost-effective Ethernet network expansion to the field level. Due to their narrow housing design, the components are suitable for universal remote use in control cabinets and junction boxes. The switches have five or eight ports, up to two of which are glass fiber ports provided in SC or ST format. The switches support the auto negotiation function at the twisted pair ports and offer transmission speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps depending on the switch version. Mixed operation for the connection of segments with different data transmission speeds is also supported. The glass fiber ports only support 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps (Gigabit version).

The RJ45 ports offer an auto crossing function, which means it is not necessary to make a distinction between 1:1 and crossover cables. The fiber optic ports can be used to extend the segment length up to 20 km. Unused RJ45 ports can be fitted with security caps to provide mechanical protection against unauthorized use. The FL SWITCH SFN GT switches offer additional gigabit performance, alarm contact and redundant power input capability.
