Features:
- Twelve gigabit RJ45 ports and four gigabit combo ports connect copper and fiber network segments.
- Managed Layer 2 functions include redundancy, RSTP, VLAN, PROFINET, and precision time synchronization.
- Redundant 24 V DC inputs and C-PLUG support improve industrial configuration continuity.
Siemens 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 combines full-gigabit copper connections and media-selectable combo ports in the SCALANCE XC216-4C G platform.
Its managed network functions support segmented, redundant, and time-synchronized Industrial Ethernet architectures.
The IP20 housing supports DIN rail, S7-300 rail, or wall mounting within the documented -40 to +70 °C environment.
The Siemens 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 SCALANCE XC216-4C G Managed IE Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Full-Gigabit Port Map
- Copper ports: Twelve RJ45 interfaces support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet.
- Combo positions: Four 1000 Mbps ports accept either an SFP or their paired RJ45 connection.
- Media rule: Only one interface in each combo pair is used at a time.
- Service access: A separate console port supports local commissioning.
Power and Signaling Paths
- Rated input: The switch uses redundant 24 V DC supply connections.
- Voltage range: The documented input window is 19.2 to 31.2 V DC.
- Feed mapping: Label and test both supply circuits separately before commissioning.
- Status reporting: Diagnostic LEDs and the signaling contact expose device and network conditions.
Redundancy and Integration
- Loop control: RSTP and ring redundancy functions support resilient topologies.
- Segmentation: VLAN functions separate configured traffic domains.
- Automation role: The switch operates as a PROFINET IO device and is EtherNet/IP compliant.
- Time service: IEEE 1588v2 PTP supports precision network synchronization.
Mounting and Operating Limits
- Mounting choices: Install on a DIN rail, S7-300 rail, or prepared wall surface.
- Temperature range: The documented operating range is -40 to +70 °C.
- Enclosure boundary: The IP20 device requires a suitable industrial cabinet.
- Configuration media: C-PLUG support allows the documented configuration to follow approved replacement hardware.
