Features:
- Six RJ45 ports collect local 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet devices.
- One 100 Mbit/s BFOC port continues the network over multimode fiber.
- Redundant power, LEDs and a signaling contact expose the switch condition without management software.
Copper and fiber frames enter the same unmanaged forwarding path.
The switch learns source addresses and sends traffic only toward the required port.
Power, link and fault indications support local diagnosis at the cabinet.
The Siemens 6GK5106-1BB00-2AA3 SCALANCE X106-1 Ethernet Switch may remain available for quotation and support beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Connecting six cabinet devices without a switch configuration
- RJ45 links: Each port negotiates a 10 or 100 Mbit/s copper connection.
- Learning: The switch associates source addresses with the receiving ports.
- Forwarding: Frames leave only on the port required by the learned destination or flooding rule.
- Port map: Cable labels preserve the original machine and controller connections.
Extending Ethernet through a multimode optical path
- BFOC interface: The optical port operates at 100 Mbit/s.
- Fiber pair: Transmit and receive strands remain correctly crossed between partners.
- Link budget: Cable type, attenuation, connectors and distance stay inside the documented boundary.
- Isolation: The fiber segment breaks the conductive path between network locations.
Keeping switch operation and cabinet alarm paths distinct
- Dual feed: Either documented 24 V input can support the switch electronics.
- LED state: Supply and port indicators show local operating conditions.
- Fault contact: The relay path reports the monitored fault condition to external wiring.
- Set button: The accepted link-state reference is established at the installed switch.
Proving each physical path after an unmanaged-switch exchange
- Copper check: Every RJ45 partner reaches its expected speed and duplex.
- Optical check: Both BFOC directions show link and pass traffic.
- Power check: Each redundant feed is tested separately.
- Alarm check: Removing a monitored link produces the expected contact and cabinet indication.
