The series includes robust, high-quality switches for implementing powerful 10, 100, and 1000 MBit/s Ethernet ring network structures according to IEEE802.x. The switch allows the establishment of one or more fault-tolerant fiber optic rings through two or more ports. In the event of a disruption, the ring automatically closes in less than 50 ms, increasing system availability. For the backbone, four SFP slots for 100/1000BaseSX/LX/ZX are available, which can be equipped for either multimode or singlemode.

The switches can also be used as standalone devices, for point-to-point connections, or as connection modules. The extensive capabilities of the management software also allow the switches to be used in systems with high functional network requirements. Installation is very quick and easy thanks to the mounting device for DIN rails. The electrical and optical connections are ensured through standardized connectors (RJ45 and LC).
