Perle IDS-108F-S1SC20U-XT 8x RJ-45 Ports 1x Port 100Base-BX Un Switch

Product Description

The Perle IDS-108F-S1SC20U-XT is an industrial-grade unmanaged switch engineered for dependable network performance in challenging conditions. It is equipped with eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports, providing standard connectivity for a wide array of industrial devices such as PLCs, sensors, and control systems. The inclusion of a single 100Base-BX SFP fiber port allows for extended network reach, typically up to 20 kilometers (as suggested by 'SC20U'), making it suitable for connecting devices across larger facilities or between buildings where standard copper Ethernet would not suffice. This switch operates as an unmanaged device, offering a straightforward plug-and-play experience that requires no complex configuration. This simplicity is highly valued in industrial settings where ease of deployment and immediate operational readiness are crucial. The 100Base-BX fiber standard utilizes Bi-Directional technology, transmitting and receiving over a single fiber strand, which can be advantageous for conserving fiber resources. Designed for extreme environments, the IDS-108F-S1SC20U-XT features a rugged metal housing with an IP30 rating, providing protection against dust and minor physical impacts. The '-XT' designation indicates an extended temperature range, allowing the switch to operate reliably from -40°C to 75°C, making it suitable for deployment in locations with significant temperature fluctuations. Support for Jumbo Frames up to 9KB further optimizes network efficiency for large data transfers.
