Features:
- It offers twelve Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports for industrial field connections.
- Four Gigabit combo interfaces accept either copper RJ45 links or SFP transceivers.
- Configuration can be retained on a C-PLUG for controlled maintenance work.
The port mix separates high-density device connections from selectable Gigabit uplinks for the network designer.
Its managed Layer 2 functions support a planned topology with VLAN, RSTP, MRP, and PROFINET IO services.
The documented wide temperature range and redundant power connection suit specified industrial installation conditions.
The Siemens 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2 SCALANCE XC216-4C Managed Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
