PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 105FX Industrial Network Switch is designed to
meet the most demanding industrial communications
requirements while providing high throughput and
minimum downtime.
The 105FX 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 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 or SC duplex connectors.
Since the TX ports of the 105FX 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 specific
network environments.
The 105FX supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses, enabling
these products to support extremely sophisticated and
complex network architectures.
The N-TRON 105FX is an ideal candidate for upgrading
existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and
determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions.
The 105FX combines affordability and the plug &
play simplicity of the unmanaged hub. The 105FX can
simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring
data acquisition and control network connections back
to a climate controlled environment.
The 105FX has extended operating environmental
specifications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial
environment. For cost savings and convenience the
105FX can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside Ethernet
I/O or other industrial equipment. The unique compact
size provides a small footprint, conserving space in the
most critical dimension.
To increase reliability, the 105FX contains redundant
power inputs. LEDs are provided to display the link status
and activity of each port, as well as power on/off status.
