100 Series Industrial Ethernet Switches

The 100 Series Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switches support high speed layer 2 switching between ports. This series of switches are housed in a ruggedized aluminum enclosure, and provide Category-5 compliant 10/100-BaseT connections for high performance network design, and hub/repeater upgrades.

All fiber products utilize the IEEE compliant SC or ST duplex connectors for fiber optic communications. All 10/100Base-TX ports utilize the RJ45 shielded connectors.

The 102MC/MCE is a two-port unmanaged media converter that converts 10/100BaseTX copper to 100BaseFX full duplex fiber.

The 104TX, 105TX and 108TX are affordable and share a small footprint. Each switch is capable of auto negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications. The five-port 105TX-SL offers the same functionality and is distinguished by its ultra-slim enclosure.

The 105FX/FXE has 4 ports similar to the 104TX, plus additional multimode fiber optic up-link port(s), capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

The 106FX2/FXE2 has 4 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 2 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

The 110FX2/FXE2 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 2 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

The 111FX3/FXE3 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 3 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

The 112FX4/FXE4 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 4 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

The 114FX6/FXE6 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 6 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

The 116TX has 16 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing. Each port is capable of auto negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications.

Key Features

 Full IEEE 802.3 & 100Base-FX Compliance  Extended Environmental Specifications  Support for Full/Half Duplex Operation  LED Link/Activity Status Indication  Autonegotiation, Autosensing Speed, Duplex, and Flow Control  Up to 3.2 Gb/s Maximum Throughput  Industry Standard 35mm DIN Rail Mounted Enclosure

DIN-Rail Mounting

To install the plastic clip units to 35mm industrial DIN rail, place the top edge of the included mounting bracket on the back of the unit against the DIN rail at a 15° angle as shown. Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away from you) until it snaps into place.

To remove the plastic clip units from the 35mm industrial DIN rail, place a flat head screwdriver into the release clip found at the bottom of the unit, and apply downward force on the clip until it disengages from the bottom of the unit from the DIN rail. Rotate the bottom of the unit towards you and up at an approximate 15° upward angle to completely remove the unit.

To install the metal clip units to 35mm industrial DIN rail, place the top edge of the included mounting bracket on the back of the unit against the DIN rail at a 15° angle as shown. Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away from you) until it snaps into place.

To remove the metal clip units from the 35mm industrial DIN rail, pull forward on the unit until it disengages from the bottom of the DIN rail. Rotate the bottom of the unit towards you and up at an approximate 15° upward angle to completely remove the unit.

Install the unit in a standard DIN rail. Recess the unit to allow at least 2” of horizontal clearance for CAT5e cable bend radius.

URMK 1000-PM

Most N-Tron™ products are designed to be mounted on industry standard 35mm DIN rail. However, DIN rail

mounting may not be suitable for all applications. Our Universal Rack Mount Kit (P/N: URMK) may be used to mount the 100 Series enclosures to standard 19" racks, and our Panel Mount Assembly (P/N: 1000-PM) may be used to mount the metal clip versions of the 100 Series enclosures to a panel or any other flat surface. NOTE: the 1000-PM will only work with the factory installed –MDR metal clip options and it is not acceptable for the 116TX units.

Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the top header. Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity on unit). Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the top header. Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.22 Nm/0.162 Pound Foot.

All LED’s will flash ON Momentarily. Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).

Note: Either V1 or V2 can be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power operation, V1 and V2 plugs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. Use wire sizes of 16-28 gauge. The power cord should be limited to less than 10 meters in order to ensure optimum performance.
