CNGE2FE16MS
Managed ethernet Switch with (16) 10/100tX +
(2) configurable 10/100/1000tX / 100/1000fX PortS
v2.01 Jan 2012
The ComNet™ CNGE2FE16MS Managed Ethernet Switch provides robust transmission
of (16) 10/100 BASE-TX and (2) 10/100/1000TX or 100/1000FX combo ports, of gigabit
Ethernet data. Unlike most Ethernet switches, these environmentally hardened units
are designed for direct deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating
environments, and are available for use with either conventional CAT-5e copper or
optical transmission media. Diverse media selection allows for easy implementation
of point-to-point, linear add-drop, drop-and-repeat, star, or true self-healing ring and
mesh network system architectures. The 16 electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/ MDIX features are
provided for simplicity and ease of installation. 2 ports are 10/100/1000 configurable
for copper or fiber media for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber, selected
by optional SFP modules. These network managed layer 2 switches are optically
(100/1000 BASE-FX) and electrically compatible with any IEEE 802.3 compliant
Ethernet devices. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical
or optical adjustments are ever required. The CNGE2FE16MS incorporates LED
indicators for monitoring the operating status of the managed switch and network.
These units are DIN-rail or wall mountable.
