Power supply squeezes onto DIN rail
Only 22.5mm wide, the new rail-mounting Mini-PS power supply from Phoenix Contact offers big savings in valuable panel space.
The FL Switch SF range has eight or sixteen RJ45 ports and supports the autonegotiation functionality for 10/100Mbit/s transfer rates in mixed mode.
With this function, the linking of network segments or end devices can be set with identical or differing data transfer rates.
The autocrossing function renders the differentiation between the 1:1 and crossover types of cable assembly superfluous.
The switches automatically detect the assignment of the Ethernet cables and adjust accordingly.
With the fibre-optic cable ports, the segment length of a network can bridge up to 2km and is ideal in harsh environments.
The switches have a redundant power supply and a zero-voltage signalling contact.
The FL Switch SF range, together with the inexpensive TX versions, offer an extremely cost-effective setup of Ethernet networks for industrial applications.
