B&B Electronics Manufacturing Co Inc has expanded its family of industrial Ethernet switches with the ELinx ESW100 series, featuring LC small-form-factor fibre connectors. The ESW100 joins the ESW200 series which offers the same industrial-hardened certifications, but uses standard ST and SC fiber connectors.
Housed in an IP30-rated metal case, the ultra-compact new ESW100 DIN Rail switches, which are also panel mountable, measure less than one inch wide. The five-port ESW105 and eight-port ESW108 models offer either all copper ports, or the option to replace one copper port with an LC multi- or single-mode fibre port. The ESW105 and ESW108 are the basic all-copper switches with five and eight copper ports respectively. The ESW105-ML and ESW108-ML models replace one copper port with a multi-mode fiber port, and the ESW105-SL and ESW108-SL models replace one copper port with a single-mode fiber port. Communication range is 2 km for multi-mode fiber and 20 km for single-mode.
Industrial-hardened with 61000-6-2 Level 3 Heavy Industrial Certifications, the switches are designed for rugged, noisy, dirty applications such as industrial automation, SCADA, traffic control, water management, building control, and wind power. They are highly immune to the electrical fields generated by motors, pumps and relays, are shock and vibration tested, and offer broadcast storm protection.
With dual power ports (12 to 36 VDC and 10 to 24 VAC), the switches run on either AC or DC power and consume 4 watts maximum power. They support IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x standards, offer 2K MAC addresses and operate over a wide temperature range (-10 to 60˚C, 14 to 140˚F).
