108M12 Industrial Ethernet Switch

THE INDUSTRIAL NETWORK COMPANY

The 108M12 provides eight auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports
with M12, D-coded, 4 pin, female, style connectors. All ports

The 108M12 supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses, enabling
these products to support extremely sophisticated and
complex network architectures.

For applications requiring IP67 protection, the 108M12 is an
ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to
increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating

network collisions. The 108M12 is an affordable network
solution and manintains the plug & play simplicity of the
unmanaged hub.

The 108M12 can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the
need to bring data acquisition and control network connections

back to a climate controlled environment. The 108M12 has
extended operating environmental specifi cations to meet the
harsh needs of industrial environments. For cost savings and
convenience this network switch can be bulkhead or DIN-Rail

mounted alongside other waterproof industrial equipment.

To increase reliability the 108M12 provides dual redundant
power inputs. LEDs are provided to display the link status

and activity of each port.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The 108M12 industrial IP67-rated Ethernet switch

is designed to solve the most demanding industrial
communications requirements while providing high

throughput and minimum downtime.

The 108M12 provides eight auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports
with M12, D-coded, 4 pin, female, style connectors. All ports
are full/half duplex capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet

switching technology. The 108M12 auto- negotiates the speed
and fl ow control capabilities of the eight TX port connections,
and confi gures itself automatically.

The 108M12 supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses, enabling

these products to support extremely sophisticated and
complex network architectures.

and fl ow control capabilities of the eight TX port connections,
and confi gures itself automatically.

Since the 108M12 is auto sensing, there will be no need to
make extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made to the

host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The
switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to
match specifi c network environments.
