The Rail Switches
– RS2-3TX/2FX EEC
– RS2-3TX/2FX-SM EEC
– RS2-4TX/1FX EEC
– RS2-4TX/1FX-ST EEC
– RS2-4TX/1FX-SM EEC
– RS2-4TX EEC
in short RS2-xTX/xFX EEC, are switches
especially designed for use in industrial
environments. They support Ethernet 10
MBit/s and Fast Ethernet 100 MBit/s.
The Rail Switch modules support switched
Ethernet networks in accordance with IEEE
standard 802.3 using copper and fiber optic
technology. The switch modules are plug-
ged onto the standard DIN rail.
The RS2-3TX/2FX… modules have three
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports
(10/100BASE-TX, RJ45 connectors) and two
100 MBit/s fiber optic ports (100BASE-FX,
Duplex SC connector).
It is possible to connect up to three DTEs or
other TP/TX network segments to the TP/TX
ports using twisted pair cabling. Two further
DTEs or optical network components can be
connected to the fiber ports.
The RS2-4TX/1FX… modules have four
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports
(10/100BASE-TX, RJ45 connectors) and one
100 MBit/s fiber optic port (100BASE-FX,
Duplex SC connector or ST connector on
R2-4TX/1FX-ST EEC).
The RS2-4TX EEC module has four
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports
(10/100BASE-TX, RJ45 connectors).
It is possible to connect up to four DTEs or
other TP/TX network segments to the TP/TX
ports using twisted pair cabling. One further
DTE or optical network component can be
connected to the fiber port (with RS2-
4TX/1FX…).
The TP ports support auto negotiation,
autopolarity and autocrossing.
The fiber optic ports support full duplex
(FDX).
