FL SWITCH SFNB…
Data sheet
1Description
The FL SWITCH SFNB… Factoryline switches can be used
for quick and cost-effective Ethernet network expansion to
the field level. Due to the narrow housing design, the
switches are suitable for use in control cabinets and junction
boxes. The switch supports the auto negotiation function
and offers transmission speeds of 10/100 Mbps across
RJ45 ports and 100 Mbps across fiber optic ports. Mixed
operation for the connection of segments with different data
transmission speeds is also supported.
The RJ45 ports offer an autocrossing function, which means
it is not necessary to make a distinction between 1:1 and
crossover cables.
Switches are available with either SC or ST multi-mode fiber
optic ports. For longer distance, a single-mode fiber optic
switch extends the segment to 20 km typical.
2 Features and benefits
– Increased network performance
– Switched Ethernet networks reduce traffic and non-
predictable timing
– Easy network expansion
– No configuration of the switch
– Auto-negotiation and autocross simplify cabling
– Couple copper network segments with different bit
rates with automatic detection of the data
transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps.
–Easy maintenance
– Individual LEDs at each port indicate
communication activity and data rate
– Removable power connector
– Internal, resettable fuse
– NS 35 DIN rail (EN 60715) compatible
– Fiber optic ports extend distance and provide electrical
noise immunity
– SC multi-mode, SC single-mode and ST multi-
mode versions available
– Industrial rated
– Rugged metal housing for industrial applications
– -10 to 60°C operating range
– Meets IEC 61000-6-2 electrical noise immunity
– Meets IEC 60068-2-6 vibration test standards
– Meets IEC 60068-2-27 shock test standards
