Features:
- Thirteen Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports connect copper devices on the local industrial network.
- Three fixed multimode SC ports extend traffic over 100BaseFX fiber links.
- Managed Layer 2 functions provide segmentation, diagnostics and redundant network paths.
Copper and optical interfaces share one forwarding system while retaining their own physical media requirements.
The switch can separate traffic with VLANs and manage multicast delivery instead of flooding every connected port.
Redundant 24 V DC feeds and DIN-rail mounting place network aggregation inside a protected control cabinet.
The Siemens 6GK5213-3BD00-2AB2 SCALANCE XB213-3 Managed Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Separating copper, fiber and local access
- RJ45 group: Thirteen ports attach 10/100 Mbit/s copper endpoints.
- Fiber group: Three SC interfaces carry 100BaseFX over multimode fiber.
- Fixed optics: The optical transceivers are built into the switch and are not SFP modules.
- Console path: A dedicated console port allows local management independently of ordinary data links.
Directing frames across a managed Layer 2 network
- VLAN separation: Port and tag settings divide one physical switch into defined traffic domains.
- Priority handling: Class-of-service rules preserve the configured order for selected frames.
- Multicast control: IGMP functions limit multicast forwarding to the ports that require it.
- Mirror output: Port mirroring copies chosen traffic to a diagnostic connection.
Coordinating redundant paths without creating loops
- Industrial rings: MRP, MRP-I and HRP provide documented Siemens ring options.
- Tree protocols: STP and RSTP handle redundant bridged links outside a configured ring.
- Parallel redundancy: PRP is available for the supported parallel-network arrangement.
- Protocol discipline: The devices in one topology must share compatible roles, timers and protocol selection.
Reaching configuration and diagnostic data
- Browser access: The web interface presents port and network settings through an IP connection.
- Command line: CLI and the console link provide text-based administration paths.
- Automation view: PROFINET IO diagnostics expose switch conditions to the engineering environment.
- Secure services: SSH, SSL, RADIUS, 802.1X and SNMPv3 protect supported management and access functions.
