Description
Red Lion 508FX2-ST
Technical Specifications:
- Brand: Red Lion Controls
- Model: 508FX2-ST
- Product Type: 8-Port Industrial Ethernet Switch
- Port Configuration: 8 x 10/100Base-T(X) RJ45 ports
Functional Features:
- Plug-and-Play Operation: Unmanaged design requires no configuration, ensuring instant network deployment.
- Ruggedized Design: Built to withstand extreme temperatures, high shock, and continuous vibration.
- Redundant Power Input: Supports dual power inputs for increased network uptime and fault tolerance.
Application Scenarios:
Deployed in factory automation, process control, transportation systems, and outdoor enclosures where commercial-grade switches would fail.
Performance Parameters:
- Switching Capacity: Non-blocking wire-speed switching for all 8 ports.
- Operating Temperature: Wide-range industrial temperature tolerance.
- Network Latency: Ultra-low latency for deterministic industrial communication.
Material Composition:
Housed in a durable, compact metal enclosure with DIN-rail mounting capabilities. Internal components are strictly derated for thermal stability.
Structural Characteristics:
Compact, fanless design for silent, maintenance-free operation. Features front-panel LED indicators for power, link status, and activity monitoring.
Working Principle:
Operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, utilizing store-and-forward switching technology to intelligently route Ethernet frames between connected industrial devices without dropping packets.
Installation Requirements:
Mount securely on a standard 35mm DIN rail. Connect redundant power supplies to separate circuit breakers to maximize reliability.
Usage Precautions:
Ensure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed the manufacturer’s specified limits. Use shielded Ethernet cables and properly ground the shield to prevent EMI.
