Features:
- Combines thirteen copper and three multimode fiber Fast Ethernet ports.
- Supports managed Layer 2 segmentation, redundancy and diagnostic functions.
- Accepts dual 24 V DC feeds for power redundancy in industrial cabinets.
The ordered XB213-3 execution uses ST-style multimode optical interfaces alongside RJ45 ports.
It switches cell traffic while management functions control paths, segmentation and recovery behavior.
A replacement must reproduce the saved network configuration and the exact optical media used on site.

- Automation cells can aggregate controllers, HMIs and drives while fiber uplinks cross electrically noisy areas.
- Redundant ring or line topologies use the managed recovery functions to improve plant-network availability.
- Segmented production networks apply VLAN and access controls at the industrial edge.
- Thirteen RJ45 ports provide 10/100 Mbit/s electrical Ethernet connections.
- Three 100 Mbit/s multimode optical ports use BFOC/ST connectors.
- A separate console interface supports local commissioning and recovery access.
- Managed port statistics and status information support link and traffic fault isolation.
- Network alarms can identify loss of a configured path or redundancy partner.
- Configuration records preserve VLAN, port and management settings for maintenance.
- Management access should use controlled credentials and the documented industrial security functions.
- Unused services and ports can be restricted according to the plant cybersecurity design.
- IEC 62443-4-2 capabilities support integration into a defense-in-depth network architecture.
