The Rail Switches RS2-5TX and RS2-5TX/FX
have been especially designed for use in
industrial environments. They support
ETHERNET 10 MBit/s and Fast ETHERNET
100 MBit/s.
The Rail Switch modules support switched
ETHERNET networks in accordance with
IEEE standard 802.3 or 802.3u using copper
and fiber optic technology. The switch
modules are plugged onto the standard DIN
rail. Because of their compact design the
modules can be mounted in a terminal box.
The RS2-5TX modules have five
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports
(10/100BASE-TX, RJ45 connectors).
It is possible to connect up to five DTEs
(data terminal equipment) or other TP/TX
network segments to these ports using
twisted pair cabling.
The RS2-5TX/FX modules have four
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports
(10/100BASE-TX, RJ45 connectors) and one
100 MBit/s fiber optic port (100BASE-FX,
MTRJ connector).
It is possible to connect up to four DTEs or
other TP/TX network segments to the TP/TX
ports using twisted pair cabling. One further
DTE or an optical network component can
be connected to the fiber port.
The TP ports support auto negotiation and
autopolarity.
The operating mode of the FX port is full
duplex.
