CNFE3FX1TX2C/M Series

CONTACT OVER ETHERNET MODULES

The ComNet CNFE3FX1TX2C/M series is an industrially hardened three-port intelligent
switch with light management functionality and an integrated contact closure
server. The 100BASE-FX port supports conventional CAT-5e/CAT-6 copper or optical
transmission media by selection of the appropriate ComNet SFP* module. A summary
fault alarm provides indication via a form c relay in the event of loss of optical link
or operating power. The 10/100BASE-TX ports support both auto-negotiation and
automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover for full and half-duplex operation; manual MDI/
MDI-X switching is not required. The integrated contact closure server is available
with 4 or 8 channels and supports individual user selectable wet or dry inputs. Form
A relay outputs feature individual user selection of normally open or normally closed
operation via the built-in web GUI. The contact server supports 4 modes of operation
including one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and stand-alone.

The internal/self-contained 9 to 36 VDC or 24 VAC power supply features
redundant power inputs, for the highest possible reliability. The simple to install,
CNFE3FX1TX2C/M Series is DIN-rail or panel-mountable, and is ideal for mission­critical applications where very high levels of reliability and network availability are of
the utmost importance.

The contact server supports 4 modes of operation including one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to­one and stand-alone.

Distances depend on which SFP (Small Form Pluggable) module is used. The two RJ45 Ethernet
connectors auto-negotiate or the configuration may be forced. The optical interface is fixed at
100Mbs.
