Features:
- Four fixed RJ45 ports carry 10/100/1000 Mbit/s links.
- Two media-module positions add four electrical or optical ports.
- C-PLUG storage separates configuration from the switch electronics.
VLAN and multicast functions organize traffic before forwarding decisions are made.
Redundancy protocols supervise alternative paths through the managed network.
LEDs and a signaling contact expose local and external fault states.
The Siemens 6GK5308-2GG00-2AA2 SCALANCE X308-2M Managed Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Combining fixed copper ports with replaceable media modules
- RJ45 group: Four fixed ports carry 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet.
- Media positions: Two slots accept the documented two-port electrical or optical modules.
- Connection total: The populated switch supports up to eight network or terminal links.
- Media boundary: The fitted module determines connector type, rate and optical range.
Directing unicast, VLAN and multicast frames through the switch
- VLAN separation: Configured VLAN membership limits which ports share broadcast traffic.
- Multicast handling: IGMP functions prevent selected multicast streams from flooding every port.
- RSTP path: Rapid Spanning Tree blocks the redundant loop until topology recovery is required.
- PROFINET status: The IO-device role exposes switch diagnostics to the automation controller.
Keeping the network project available outside the base unit
- C-PLUG: The supplied removable memory retains the switch parameter set.
- Startup source: The hardware reads the stored configuration when the memory is accepted.
- Replacement control: Article number, firmware and C-PLUG contents are checked together.
- Management access: Web, CLI and network-management functions inspect the running configuration.
Separating supply wiring from external fault signaling
- Supply terminal: The four-pole block feeds the switch from the documented 24 V DC range.
- Fault terminal: The two-pole contact reports the configured error state to another circuit.
- Front LEDs: Port, power and module indicators localize the reported condition.
- Temperature limit: Media choice and vertical mounting can reduce the upper operating temperature.
