SWITCH 4x10/100Mbps, 1xFiber SM SC EKI-2525S-AE

Industrial Ethernet Switch with Fiber Optic Port

This 4-port switch offers a combination of four 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and one single-mode SC fiber optic port, making it an ideal solution for building reliable networks in demanding industrial environments. It enables fast data transfer over distances up to 30 km, minimizing the risk of electromagnetic interference.

Construction and application

The EKI-2525S switch is designed for easy installation and integration with existing infrastructure. The compact, metal housing (compliant with IP30) allows for mounting on both the wall and on a standard DIN rail. The store and forward mechanism ensures reliable data transmission by verifying the correctness of packets using checksums. This makes it a solid choice for installers building networks in manufacturing plants, monitoring systems, or transport infrastructure.

Key features and benefits

• Connection flexibility: The combination of Ethernet and fiber optic ports allows for optimal adaptation to the specifics of the network.
• Range: The single-mode SC fiber optic port enables data transmission over a distance of up to 30 km.
• Interference resistance: The use of fiber optics minimizes the impact of electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable communication.
• Reliability: The store and forward mechanism and redundant power supply (12-48VDC) increase resistance to failures and ensure network continuity. Automatic switching to a redundant power source in the event of a failure further enhances system security.
• Protection: Built-in ESD protection up to 4000VDC for Ethernet ports and 3000VDC for power supply protects the device against overvoltage.
• Easy installation: IP30 compliant housing allows for wall or DIN rail mounting.
• Auto-negotiation and MDI/MDI-X: Automatic port configuration simplifies installation and eliminates cable compatibility issues.
• Wide operating temperature range: The device operates in a temperature range from -10°C to 60°C, allowing it to be used in harsh environmental conditions.
