Features:
- Sixteen copper-or-fiber network positions remain usable across the base configuration.
- Two extender interfaces increase the modular connection layout to twenty-four ports.
- Layer 3 routing becomes available only when a KEY-PLUG XM-400 is fitted.
Siemens 6GK5416-4GS00-2AM2 separates twelve fixed RJ45 ports from four shared electrical/optical combo positions.
The included C-PLUG stores supported device configuration data independently from the internal switch electronics.
Management access, PROFINET diagnostics, VLAN handling, and redundancy protocols address different parts of network setup and supervision.
The Siemens 6GK5416-4GS00-2AM2 SCALANCE XM416-4C 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 the modular port layout grows
- Base arrangement: Twelve fixed RJ45 interfaces operate beside four combo positions.
- Combo selection: Each shared position uses either its RJ45 connection or an installed SFP transceiver.
- Extender links: Two dedicated expansion interfaces accept XM-400 media extenders.
- Expanded layout: Electrical or optical extensions raise the total usable port count from sixteen to twenty-four.
Continuity paths within the switching structure
- Power feed: A redundant 24 V DC supply connection keeps both input paths available to the same switch.
- Ring control: MRP and HRP functions manage supported ring topologies and redundancy-manager roles.
- Spanning tree: STP, RSTP, RSTP+, and MSTP provide alternative loop-control methods.
- PROFINET role: System redundancy and H-Sync forwarding are available through the PROFINET IO device function.
Where setup data and management access meet
- Stored profile: The supplied C-PLUG holds supported configuration data for device handling.
- Browser access: Web-based management provides a graphical configuration path.
- Console access: The RJ11 operator connection and CLI support a local command-line route.
- Engineering path: STEP 7 configuration works alongside PROFINET IO diagnosis and identification data.
Controls that restrict network access and traffic
- Port admission: IEEE 802.1X works with RADIUS-based access control.
- Secure sessions: SSH, SSL, and HTTPS protect supported management connections.
- Traffic limiting: Broadcast, multicast, and unicast limiters constrain selected packet flows.
- Segmentation: Port-, protocol-, IP-, and dynamically assigned VLANs divide network traffic without invoking routing.
