More Information

Overview Manuals Combo Ports Expansion Plan Redundancy Management

Features:

  • Provides eight managed combo positions for copper or SFP network media.
  • Accepts two interface extenders for a maximum of 24 usable ports.
  • Stores configuration on the supplied C-PLUG and supports optional KEY-PLUG routing.
Copper and optical choices share each base-unit position, so only one medium is active per combo port.

The console, management, signaling, and power connections remain separate from the data-port expansion path.

Managed functions cover VLAN assignment, ring redundancy, traffic diagnostics, access control, and synchronized network time.

The Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 SCALANCE XM408-8C Managed Modular Industrial Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

How an integrated port chooses its transmission medium

  • Paired media: Every base position associates one RJ45 socket with one SFP receptacle.
  • Exclusive use: Selecting the copper side leaves the paired optical side unavailable, and selecting SFP does the reverse.
  • Copper path: The secured RJ45 connection negotiates supported 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s links.
  • Optical path: The SFP side accepts supported 100 or 1000 Mbit/s plug-in transceivers.

Building beyond the eight-port base unit

  • Extender positions: Two dedicated mechanical and electrical interfaces accept SCALANCE XM-400 extender modules.
  • Port ceiling: Base and extender connections together are limited to 24 usable network ports.
  • Media selection: Electrical, optical, and supported PoE extender choices determine the final port mix.
  • Module exchange: The interface-module design supports documented hot-swapping without converting the base unit.

Available paths for restoring switched connectivity

  • Industrial rings: HRP and MRP functions can place the switch in managed ring topologies.
  • Interconnected rings: MRP-I links supported redundancy domains without collapsing them into one ring.
  • Spanning trees: STP, RSTP, RSTP+, and MSTP control alternate Ethernet paths.
  • Aggregated links: LACP combines supported parallel links under one managed connection.

Configuration and observation channels

  • Local console: The RJ11 console port provides a service path separate from production Ethernet traffic.
  • Web and CLI: Browser-based management and command-line access configure switching functions.
  • Remote supervision: SNMP, RMON, SysLog, and email traps expose operational and error information.
  • Traffic inspection: Port and multiport mirroring copy selected frames to an analysis connection.
Description
At the center of a modular SCALANCE XM-400 station, Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 operates as an XM408-8C managed industrial Ethernet switch. Its base unit establishes eight network positions, then accepts interface extenders when the installation requires additional electrical or optical connections.

Each integrated position on 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 is a combo path: the copper RJ45 connection and its corresponding SFP receptacle are alternatives rather than two simultaneous ports. Two extender interfaces continue that modular structure, allowing the complete device to reach 24 usable ports without changing the management core.

Network administration reaches 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 through the separate console and management connections, while CLI, web-based management, SNMP, diagnostics, mirroring, and VLAN functions control traffic on the switching ports. A supplied C-PLUG retains device configuration, and an optional KEY-PLUG enables the documented Layer 3 routing functions.

Power enters 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 through a fused four-pole terminal arrangement with a redundant supply connection. The chassis mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail or supported S7 rail, keeping power, signaling contact, console access, and network media on defined connections around the modular switch assembly.

Technical notes
The eight integrated combo positions on Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 share copper and SFP choices; extender modules raise the total port count to 24.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why do the eight RJ45 and eight SFP connections on Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 not provide sixteen active ports?
They form eight combo positions on Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2. Each position uses either its RJ45 connection or the paired SFP receptacle, so the integrated total remains eight.
How can Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 be expanded beyond the base port count?
Two extender interfaces on Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 accept supported interface extenders, allowing the complete modular arrangement to reach 24 electrical or optical ports.
When is a KEY-PLUG needed with Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2?
A KEY-PLUG XM-400 is needed when Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 must use its documented static or dynamic IPv4/IPv6 routing functions; the supplied C-PLUG serves configuration storage.
Which connection should be used for local administration of Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2?
Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 provides a dedicated RJ11 operator-console connection and a separate RJ45 management connection, keeping administration access distinct from the combo data ports.
Can an interface module be exchanged while Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 remains installed?
The Siemens 6GK5408-8GS00-2AM2 datasheet identifies its interface modules as hot-swappable; the selected module, network path, and operating procedure still must follow the supported configuration.
