More Information

Overview Manuals RJ45 Ports Extender Link Power Path Mounting

Features:

  • Eight Gigabit-capable RJ45 ports expand the copper connectivity of a modular SCALANCE XM-400 switch.
  • Two extender interfaces carry the port traffic and module coordination into the assembled switching system.
  • Redundant power connection and multiple rail-mounting options support cabinet integration across the documented temperature range.
Siemens 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 expands an XM-400 switch with eight copper Ethernet ports.

The extender connections of 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 couple those ports to the modular switch system.

Power and mounting provisions place 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 within the assigned cabinet structure.

The Siemens 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 SCALANCE PE408 Eight-Port Industrial Ethernet Port Extender may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

All prices are shown in USD.

Copper Port Expansion

  • Port count: Eight RJ45 connections are available for network components or terminal equipment.
  • Rate selection: Each port supports 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet operation.
  • Switch path: Frames move from the extender ports into the attached XM-400 switching system.
  • Connector retention: RJ45 securing collars support the intended industrial connector arrangement.

Connection to the Modular Switch

  • Interfaces: Two extender interfaces join the module to the XM-400 hardware arrangement.
  • Role separation: The PE408 provides physical copper ports while the assembled switch controls network management.
  • Module recognition: The parent switch must recognize the extender before the eight ports become part of the configured device.
  • Hardware service: Hot-swappable interface-module support follows the documented XM-400 service sequence.

Supply and Module Load

  • Connection: The module provides the documented redundant power-connection capability.
  • Current: The port electronics remain within the specified maximum current consumption.
  • Power loss: Cabinet thermal design includes the documented rated module power loss.
  • Fault isolation: Power checks distinguish a local extender supply problem from an Ethernet link or switch-configuration problem.

Mechanical and Environmental Limits

  • Rail choices: The housing mounts on 35 mm DIN, S7-300, or S7-1500 rail systems.
  • Orientation: The selected rail and adjacent XM-400 hardware determine mechanical alignment of the extender interfaces.
  • Temperature: The enclosure is rated for the documented -40 to +70 °C operating range.
  • Atmosphere: Humidity and G3 air-pollution limits apply to the installed cabinet environment.
Description
Siemens 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 is a SCALANCE PE408 Industrial Ethernet port extender for the modular XM-400 switch family. It adds eight RJ45 connections that each support 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s communication for local network devices.

Two extender interfaces connect 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 to the modular switch arrangement. Ethernet frames arriving through the eight copper ports pass into the XM-400 switching system, so management and traffic behavior are determined by the assembled switch configuration.

A 24 V DC power path for 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 supports redundant connection and supplies the port electronics within the documented current and power-loss limits. The interface-module position supports hot-swappable operation within the specified modular hardware arrangement.

The SIMATIC S7-1500-style enclosure of 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 mounts on 35 mm DIN rail, S7-300 rail, or S7-1500 rail. Its extended temperature range and G3 air-pollution resistance define the environmental boundary for cabinet installation.

Why do all eight RJ45 ports on 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 remain inactive?
Check the 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 extender interfaces, parent XM-400 recognition, power connection, assembled configuration, and module diagnostics.
Why does one device negotiate only 100 Mbit/s on 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2?
Inspect the 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 port setting, cable pairs, connector, peer capability, autonegotiation, and error counters.
What causes an extender-recognition fault on 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2?
Verify the 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 mechanical alignment, both extender interfaces, supported XM-400 hardware, configuration, and module seating.
Why does 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 restart when several ports become active?
Check the 6GK5408-0GA00-8AP2 power source, redundant connection, voltage drop, connector current, cabinet wiring, and documented module load.
