Industrial Switch Product Highlights
SLX-18MG Industrial Ethernet Switch
SlimLine Plus Gigabit Industrial Connectivity
The SLX-18MG is an 18 port managed industrial Ethernet switch with 16 fast and 2 Gigabit combination ports that support both copper and fiber optic connections. This switch is designed to be rugged, reliable and secure. It combines compact DIN-rail packaging, protected circuitry and powerful software to keep your system going even under the toughest conditions.
Two 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!
- Real-Time Ring™ or Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) for fast redundant ring or mesh networks
- SNMPv1 and v2 network management
- SNMPv3 authentication and encryption for security
- SNMP notifications (traps) for report on event
- Priority Queuing (QoS/CoS) for real-time operation
- IGMP for Multicast filtering (snooping and querying)
- VLAN for convenient traffic segregation
- Broadcast and multicast storm protection
- RMON and port mirroring for advanced diagnostics
- Security with HTTPS, SSL, SSH, SNMPv3 and more
- Easy configuration via Web, Telnet or CLI
- Free field-installable firmware upgrades forever

Ethernet Performance
- 18 Ethernet ports including 2 Gigabit
- Managed, store and forward, wire-speed
- All IEEE 802.3 Ethernet protocols supported
- RJ45 ports 1 - 16 (shielded) 10/100BaseTX
- RJ45 ports 17 - 18 (shielded) 10/100/1000BaseTX
- RJ45 port speed auto-negotiation
- RJ45 MDI/MDIX auto-crossover

- Singlemode, 10 km, 1310 nm, 9-10/125 µm
- Long haul, up to 120 km, 1550 nm, 9-10/125 µm
- Typical latency (varies on load and settings)
- @ 10 Mbps: 16 us + frame time
- @ 100 Mbps: 5 us + frame time
- Full or half duplex operation configurable per port
- MAC addresses supported 8192
- Memory bandwidth 32 Gbps
- Ethernet isolation 1500 VRMS 1 minute
- Console ports – USB and RS232 (RJ45)
Ethernet Compliance
- IEEE 802.3u (Fast Ethernet 100Mbps for newer devices)
- IEEE 802.3 (10Mbps Ethernet supports legacy devices)
