PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 106FX2 Industrial Network Switch is designed to
solve the most demanding industrial communications
requirements while providing high throughput and
minimum downtime.
The 106FX2 provides four RJ-45 auto sensing
10/100BaseTX ports, plus two fiber based Fast Ethernet
uplink ports. All TX ports are full/half duplex capable,
using leading-edge Ethernet switching technology.
The 106FX2 auto-negotiates the speed and flow
control capabilities of the four TX port connections,
and configures itself automatically. The two fiber ports
are 100BaseFX fiber optic uplinks utilizing industry
standard ST or SC duplex connectors.
Since the TX ports of the 106FX2 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 your specific
network environment.
The 106FX2 supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses,
thus enabling these products to support extremely
sophisticated and complex network architectures.
The N-TRON 106FX2 is an ideal candidate
for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to
increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually
eliminating network collisions. The product also
keeps the network affordable, while maintaining the
plug & play simplicity of a unmanaged hub. The
106FX2 can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the
need to bring data acquisition and control network
connections back to a climate controlled environment.
The 106FX2 has extended operating environmental
specifications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial
environment. For cost savings and convenience the
106FX2 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 106FX2 contains redundant
power inputs. LEDs are provided to display the link
status and activity of each port, as well as power on/
off status.
