Introduction

The Beckhoff Ethernet switches offer five, eight or sixteen RJ45 Ethernet ports. Switches relay incoming Ethernet frames to the destination ports. In full duplex mode, they prevent collisions. They can be used universally in automation and office networks. User-friendly installation via integrated mounting rail adapter.

Their particular suitability for use in the industrial environment is underlined by the following benefits:

▪

Compact design in metal housing

▪

10/100 Mbaud (CU2208: 1000 Mbaud) with automatic baud rate detection

▪

Half or full duplex operation

▪

Cross-over detection: automatic detection and correction of crossover and straight-through Ethernet cables

▪

Fast diagnosis with 2 LEDs per Ethernet port directly on the RJ45 socket

▪

simple mounting on DIN rails
