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).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. 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.
