Features:
- Two gigabit single-mode SC interfaces connect the switch to optical segments.
- The RJ45 side has one gigabit port and seven Fast Ethernet ports.
- Managed ring and diagnostic functions help organize and monitor industrial traffic.
By linking optical and copper equipment, the 6GK5308-2FM00-2AA3 forms one managed Ethernet device without treating all copper ports as the same speed class.
The redundant-ring manager and RSTP functions address topology recovery, while VLAN and IGMP features organize traffic within the configured network.
A separate fault contact, LED indication and C-PLUG give the installed switch distinct signaling, local observation and removable configuration paths.
The Siemens 6GK5308-2FM00-2AA3 SCALANCE X308-2LD Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Copper and fiber connection roles
- Fiber pair: Two SC connections carry gigabit traffic on single-mode optical fiber.
- Gigabit copper: One RJ45 port accepts 10/100/1000 Mbit/s equipment.
- Fast Ethernet: Seven further RJ45 ports accept 10/100 Mbit/s equipment.
- Link selection: The connected cable and peer interface determine whether a given copper link runs at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s where supported.
Topology and recovery functions
- Ring manager: The integrated manager coordinates supported redundant-ring operation.
- RSTP: Rapid Spanning Tree provides another loop-control mechanism for configured topologies.
- MRP: Media Redundancy Protocol is supported for a configured ring.
- Standby: Standby redundancy can couple supported network segments without making the switch a substitute for every topology design.
Management and configuration paths
- Web interface: Device settings can be viewed or changed through web-based management.
- CLI: A command-line interface provides another management path.
- VLAN: Port-based and dynamic VLAN functions separate configured traffic groups.
- C-PLUG: The supplied removable plug carries configuration data independently of the fixed housing.
Local and remote fault indications
- LEDs: Front indicators identify link and device states locally.
- Signal contact: The separate two-pole contact provides a wired fault indication.
- PROFINET diagnosis: A configured PROFINET IO system can receive supported device diagnostics.
- Port statistics: Error and packet counters help narrow an issue to a specific connection.
