SWITCH 4x10/100Mbps, 2xFiber SM SC EKI-2526S-AE

Industrial Ethernet Switch – Reliable Communication in Harsh Environments

This 4-port Ethernet switch, equipped with two single-mode SC fiber ports, is a robust solution for building reliable networks in industrial environments. It provides stable data transmission in demanding applications where resistance to interference and the ability to transmit signals over long distances are crucial.

Construction and Application

The EKI-2526S-AE switch is designed to operate in a wide temperature range – from -10°C to 60°C – and with air humidity reaching 95%. This makes it suitable for production halls, warehouses, and even outdoors (with appropriate protection against the elements). The ability to mount on a DIN rail or wall simplifies integration with existing infrastructure. The use of fiber optic ports allows data transmission over distances of up to 30 km, eliminating problems related to signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference. This is an ideal solution for monitoring systems, industrial automation, or transport networks.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fast data transfer: 4 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and 2 single-mode SC fiber ports provide sufficient bandwidth for most industrial applications.
• Interference resistance: Fiber optic ports eliminate the influence of electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing stable communication.
• Surge protection: Built-in ESD protection up to 4000VDC protects Ethernet ports, and power supply protection up to 3000VDC ensures safe operation of the device.
• Redundant power supply: 12-48VDC power supply range and the ability to connect a redundant power source increase system reliability. In the event of a failure of one source, it automatically switches to the other.
• Easy installation: IP30 compliant housing and the ability to mount on a DIN rail or wall simplify installation and integration with existing infrastructure.
• Automatic configuration: Auto-negotiation speed and automatic MDI/MDI-X selection simplify the startup and configuration process.
• Store and Forward mechanism: Ensures reliable data transmission by checking packet correctness before forwarding them.
