The N-TRON 105FX-ST Industrial Network Switch is designed to solve the most demanding industrial communications requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime. The 105FX-ST provides four RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports, plus a fiber based Fast Ethernet uplink port. All TX ports are full/half duplex capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The 105FX-ST auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the four TX port connections, and configures itself automatically. The 5th port is a 100BaseFX fiber optic uplink utilizing industry standard ST duplex connectors. Since the TX ports of the 105FX-ST are 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 105FX-ST supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses, thus enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures. The N-TRON 105FX-ST is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The 105FX-ST also keeps the network affordable, while maintaining the plug & play simplicity of the unmanaged hub. The 105FX-ST can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring data acquisition and control network connections back to a climate controlled environment. The 105FX-ST has extended operating environmental specifications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost savings and convenience the 105FX-ST can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other industrial equipment. The unique compact size provides a smaller footprint, conserving space in the most critical dimension. To increase reliability, the 105FX-ST contains redundant power inputs. LEDs are provided to display the link status and activity of each port, as well as power on/off status.
