The EL-100-4 series “Essential Line“ comprises five industrial basic switches for Fast Ethernet. Since they are only 3 cm in width they do not need much space. In case of extremely flat installation space the DIN rail clip can be fixed at the side. Apart from that, they can be used in 19’’ racks by using an additional cover at the front.

The following switches are available: 8 TX, 8TX/2FX, 4TX/2FX, 4TX/1FX and 4TX/3FX. They can be used with singlemode, multimode, HCS and POF fibers. All switches are suitable for distances of up to 30 km. Other features are auto negotiation, MDX/MDIX and an extended temperature range. The redundant power supply is 12 to 70 VDC and its status – as well as the network status – can be seen from the LEDs on the front panel.

In connection with other systems out of the e-light and e-com series respectively, individual applications can be realized.
