Overview

B&B Electronics Elinx family of Gigabit Industrial Din Rail mount
Ethernet switches have been designed to meet light and heavy Industrial
communication requirements.

High-Speed Transmissions

The Industrial switch includes a controller that can automatically sense
transmission speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps). The RJ45 copper ports support
auto MDI/MDIX operation. This feature allows network connections to
computers, servers, or other switches using straight-through or crossover
cables

All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward
mechanism. This assures that data is properly transmitted.

Dual Power Inputs

To reduce the risk of power failure, the Industrial switch provides 12 - 48
VDC dual power inputs. When power failure occurs, the device will
automatically switch to the secondary power input.

Flexible Mounting

The industrial switch is extremely compact and can be mounted on a din­rail or panel mounting making it suitable for any space-constrained
environment. Both mounting options are supplied with the Ethernet switch.

Wide Operating Temperature

The EIR408-T will operate in a -40 to 75C environment. The wide
temperature range will allow the EIR408-T to operate in some of the
harshest industrial environments that exist.

Easy Troubleshooting

LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each 10/100/1000
port has 2 LED indicators that display the link status, transmission speed
and collision status. The power and fault LED’s add to the ease of
understanding operating conditions.
