Features:
- Two RJ45 ports connect 10/100 Mbit/s copper stations.
- Two multimode ST/BFOC interfaces extend 100 Mbit/s Ethernet over optical fiber.
- IRT, PROFINET IO and ring redundancy coordinate real-time network traffic.
The mixed-media port arrangement joins local copper equipment to longer optical network sections in one managed switch.
Device diagnostics and topology information can be reached through the supported engineering and management interfaces.
Redundant 24 V DC inputs and a signaling contact keep supply supervision separate from Ethernet traffic.
The Siemens 6GK5202-2BB00-2BA3 SCALANCE X202-2IRT Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Relating copper and optical paths
- Copper side: Two RJ45 ports accept 10 or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet devices.
- Optical side: Two ST/BFOC ports carry 100 Mbit/s traffic over multimode fiber.
- Media transition: The internal switching fabric forwards frames between electrical and optical ports.
- Fiber reach: Supported multimode cabling can extend an optical segment up to the documented distance.
Keeping real-time frames on the managed path
- PROFINET role: The switch operates as a PROFINET IO device in the engineered network.
- IRT handling: Isochronous real-time traffic receives the timing behavior required by the configured topology.
- Standard traffic: Ordinary Ethernet frames share the switch without replacing the configured IRT path.
- Engineering access: STEP 7, web and CLI routes provide configuration and diagnostics.
Closing and supervising a redundant network ring
- HRP support: High-speed redundancy can supervise a compatible optical or mixed-media ring.
- MRP support: Media Redundancy Protocol integrates the switch into a PROFINET ring.
- Fault response: A break changes the forwarding path so the remaining ring section can carry traffic.
- External signal: The signaling contact can report a configured network or device fault.
Separating supply, configuration and alarm wiring
- Supply inputs: Two 24 V DC connections form the redundant power feed.
- Voltage boundary: The documented operating range applies to each installed supply path.
- C-PLUG option: Removable media can retain the saved configuration outside the switch.
- Set button: The front control supports the documented local commissioning functions.
