Scalance industrial ethernet switch

The Scalance X308-2M switch expands the Simatic NET product range of industrial ethernet switches.

The device features IT in addition to its industry functions. A major feature is modularity, making its application flexible and the fan-less design can thus be adapted to a specific application.

There are two slot for media modules, allowing various types of fibre-optic ports to be connected.

The switch supports all firmware functions of the Scalance X-300 units, such as ring redundancy, standby function and VLAN (virtual local area network), as well as gigabit ethernet on all ports.

The electrical media modules (available with and without holding flanges) are connected via cables with RJ45 connectors. The optical modules are connected with cables using SC or BFOC connectors, or when using SFP media modules (small form factor pluggable), via cables with LC connectors.
