Description
Description
The Schneider 499NOS17100 is a high-performance industrial Ethernet switch engineered for the ConneXium cabling system. This managed hardware solution is designed to facilitate robust local area network connectivity in challenging industrial environments. Featuring a hybrid port configuration, it bridges standard copper-based instrumentation with high-speed fiber-optic plant backbones. By providing reliable 10/100 Mbps data transmission, this switch ensures consistent communication across automated control nodes, effectively minimizing network jitter and reducing the risk of data transmission failures in critical production cycles.
Features
- Hybrid Architecture: Equipped with 5 twisted-pair copper (TX) ports and 2 fiber-optic (FX) ports for versatile network integration.
- Auto-Negotiation: RJ45 ports support auto-MDI/MDIX crossover detection, simplifying the installation process.
- Long-Distance Connectivity: Dual fiber-optic channels allow for extended transmission distances without the need for signal repeaters.
- Passive Cooling: The fanless, industrial-grade enclosure design prevents dust ingress and mechanical failure, promoting long-term reliability.
- Diagnostic Monitoring: Integrated front-panel LED indicators provide real-time status updates on link activity, data speed, and power supply health.
Applications
This switch is suitable for high-interference industrial settings, including water treatment facilities, power distribution substations, oil and gas refineries, and mining infrastructure. It is specifically designed to support deterministic control communication where network stability is essential for process safety and uptime.
