Description

The N-Tron 308FX2 is an industrial network switch which is designed to meet and exceed the most demanding industrial communication requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime. The 308FX2 provides six RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports, plus two fiber-based Fast Ethernet uplink ports. All TX ports utilize state-of-the-art Ethernet switching technology and are full/half duplex capable. The 308FX2 auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the TX port connections and configures itself automatically. The fiber optic ports support full 200Mb/s communications via 100BaseFX. Bi-color LEDs are provided to display the link status, speed and activity of each port as well as power on/off status.

The TX ports of the 308FX2 are auto sensing, so there will be no need to make extensive wiring changes due to future upgrades of host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to match network environments. The 308FX2 also supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling this product to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures.

The 308FX2 is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The product provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining the plug & play simplicity of an unmanaged hub.
