Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What's the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?

Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play devices that require no configuration. They're perfect for simple network extensions and cost-effective solutions where advanced features aren't needed.

❓ Can I mix fiber and copper connections?

Yes! Many Hirschmann models feature both copper RJ45 ports and fiber optic ports, allowing you to connect local devices via copper while extending to remote locations via fiber.

❓ What's the maximum distance for fiber connections?

Multimode fiber typically supports up to 2km, while singlemode fiber can reach distances of 30km or more, depending on the specific model and fiber quality.

❓ Are these switches suitable for outdoor use?

The IP67-rated model (943892-001) is specifically designed for outdoor and harsh environment applications, with waterproof M12 connectors and extended temperature range.
