Weidmüller's WaveLine Managed Switches:

Thanks to a reliable and redundant Rapid Ring™ connection Weidmüller’s new generation of managed switches in the  compact WaveLine housing (protection class IP20) are ideally suitable for structuring decentralized, automated networks. Compact (108 mm x 45 mm x 129 mm L/W/H) and designed to snap onto TS35 mounting rails WaveLine Managed Switches offer a full management switch solution. As well as the standard characteristics fulfilling specifications according to IEEE 802.3x/802.3 the managed switches support a variety of redundancy mechanisms – these range from simple parallel redundancy (Port Based Trunking) through to the fast Rapid Ring™ ring network solution.

Managed Switches are available as pure 8-port RJ45 versions or the version with 6 RJ45 ports and 2 fibre-optic ports. The optional fibre-optic ports with SC, ST, LC or SCRJ connectors in the multimode version offer interference-free transmissions across distances up to two kilometres. Distances up to 120 kilometres are possible with the single-mode variants. All WaveLine Managed Switches support topology recognition through the vendor-neutral Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP, IEEE 802.1AB). Profinet RT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP and TCP/IP protocols are supported for automated network solutions.
