Overview
Introduction
To reate reliability in your network, the 4 10/100/1000T + 4 SFP
Managed Industrial Swit h omes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network proto ol—X-Ring provides users with an easy way
to establish a redundant Ethernet network with ultra high-speed
re overy time less than 20ms. Also, the long MTBF (Mean Time
Between Failures) ensures that the industrial swit h will ontinue to
operate until a Gigabit network infrastru ture has been established,
without requiring any extra upgrade osts.
Aside from 4 x 10/100/1000Base-T fast Ethernet ports, the 4
10/100/1000T + 4 SFP Managed Industrial Swit h omes equipped with
4 SFP (mini-GBIC) ports. Traditional RJ-45 ports an be used for
uplinking wide-band paths in short distan e (< 100 m), while the SFP
slots an be used for the appli ation of wideband uploading and long
distan e transmissions to fit the field request flexibility. Also, the long
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ensures that the 4 10/100/1000T
+ 4 SFP Managed Industrial Swit h will ontinue to operate until a
Gigabit network infrastru ture has been established, without requiring
any extra upgrade osts.
T e SFP Advantage
The SFP fiber slots provide a lot of flexibility when planning and
implementing a network. The slot an a ept any SFP-type fiber module
and these modules are designed for transmitting over distan es of
either 550m (multi-mode), 10km, 30km, 50km, 70km or 110km
(single-mode)—and the slot supports SFP modules for WDM
single-fiber transmissions. This means that you an easily hange the
transmission mode and distan e of the swit h by simply pulling out the
SFP module and plugging in a different module. The SFP modules are
hot-swappable and plug-and-play.
