The N-TRON ® 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 autonegotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the eight TX port connections, and configures 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 your specific network environment. The 108M12 supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses, thus enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures. For applications requiring IP67 protection, the N-TRON 108M12 is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The product also keeps the network affordable, while maintaining 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 specifications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. 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 10-30 VDC dual redundant power inputs. LEDs are provided to display the link status and activity of each port.
