Ethernet switches offer four fibre optic
ports
Both the SL-8MS and SL-8ES switches feature advanced intelligence and nonblocking wire speed switching that allow all ports to communicate at full-duplex speed at the same time.
Sixnet's Slim Line series of industrial Ethernet switches is now available with up to four fast Ethernet (100Mbps) fibre optic ports These fibre ports are available with multimode, single-mode, long-haul (for noise-immune links up to 120km), or other special applications transceivers

Ethernet switch takes on severe duties
New from Sixnet, Etherbus is a fieldbus-style real-time Ethernet switch which can be mounted directly onto a machine or exposed wall in harsh environments.
SC and ST connector styles are available.
The SL-8MS (managed) and SL-8ES (unmanaged) switches feature a slim package design, making them ideal for DIN rail or direct panel mounting in any application.
The SL-8MS managed switches support all standard IEEE802.3 protocols and offer real-time secure performance through RSTP for fast redundancy, SNMP for network management, VLAN for network segregation and IGMP for multicast filtering.
Secure access is ensured with HTTPS (SSL and TLS), SSH and SNMPv3.
Both the SL-8MS and SL-8ES switches feature advanced intelligence and nonblocking wire speed switching that allow all ports to communicate at full-duplex speed (200Mbit/s) at the same time, eliminating collisions and ensuring no undesirable delays.
Slim Line industrial Ethernet switches have rugged circuitry and redundant power inputs with industrial surge and spike protection to keep your system up and running for many years.
These switches are backed by a five-year support policy and can operate from -40 to 75C, with 1,000,000 service-free hours.
These switches are rated for hazardous locations (Class I, Div 2 and Zone 2), UL/CSA, CE, FCC and RoHS to assure long-term success in harsh industrial environments. Request a free brochure from Sixnet ...
