8 Port Gigabit Managed Switch

SLX-8MG-1

The SLX-8MG-1 is an 8 port “all-Gigabit” industrial Ethernet managed switch that is designed to be rugged, reliable, real-time and secure. It combines compact DIN-rail packaging, protected circuitry and powerful software to keep your system going even in the toughest conditions.


 

Product Highlights

  • 8 Gigabit ports for 10/100/1000 Ethernet links
  • 4 advanced combination ports accept copper RJ45 or noise-immune fiber optic links up to 100+ km
  • Fully managed with advanced features and security
  • Flexible DIN-rail or direct-panel mounting
  • Truly rugged design for -40 to +75°C operation

Four Flexible Combination Gigabit Ports

Your choice – just connect to the RJ45 for a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-detecting copper link or plug in a fiber transceiver for a 100 or 1000Mbps noise-immune fiber link. These advanced ports give you the flexibility you need and make your job easier!

Ethernet Ports

  • RJ45 ports: Eight RJ45 ports that are fully IEEE 802.3 compliant
