Phoenix Contact offers industrial Ethernet switch designed for quick assembly in the field
Phoenix Contact
FL Switch SMN 6TX/2POF-PN
Phoenix Contact has introduced the Smart Managed Narrow (SMN) switch, which, with six Fast Ethernet ports in RJ45 format and two diagnostics-capable POF interfaces, is designed to fit into narrow industrial control cabinets.
The FL Switch SMN 6TX/2POF-PN has polymer and HCS fibres that can be connected via the fibre-optic interfaces with SCRJ connections, facilitating ease and speed of assembly in the field — requiring now crimping, gluing or polishing and taking under two minutes.
According to Phoenix Contact, combining this switch with the new field assembly-capable HCS fibres, with gradient index FL FOC PN-C-HCS-GI-200/230, enables transmission distances of up to 250m to be achieved.
It uses integrated fibre-optic diagnostics to support users when they are troubleshooting faults, through continually measuring the received power and displaying the optical system reserve in the web-based management system, using an SNMP object or Profinet communication.
Key features
- Fibre-optic cable connectors are assembled in less than two minutes
- Default operation is Profinet
- Can be used as a Profinet IO device with PDEV function
- Can be used in redundant Ethernet networks with RSTP Fast Ring Detection
- Also suitable for an MRP environment
- Multitask filtering, with an IGMP snooping function, for Ethernet/IP networks
