DIN-Rail mounting option
The LBH08x/LBH18x is designed for use in a “factory floor” industrial
environment. It is available with an optional DIN-Rail bracket to mount it securely in a
metal factory floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of
the unit. The LBH08x/LBH18x requires one
DIN-Rail bracket for secure mounting. See
a LBH08x viewed from the bottom, at the
rear, showing the DIN Rail in place.
The DIN Rail bracket is mounted to
the bottom of the LBH08z/LBH18x unit, as
shown. Four threaded holes are provided
on the bottom of the unit for DIN-Rail
mounting purposes. The required four
screws are included with the DIN-Rail
bracket, and are no.4-40 x 9/32 PHIL. PAN
Head. The rail clip is spring-loaded with a
pull-up latch at the top for easy “snap-on”
attachment and removal. The
LBH08x/LBH18x models with “HD” have the
DIN Rail bracket included and assembled on
the unit at the factory.

Connecting Ethernet Media
The LBH08x/LBH18x Switches are specifically designed to support standard
Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is accomplished by using a
choice of five popular Fiber Connectors which can be individually selected and
configured.
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE
802.3, and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:
Media
IEEE Standard Connector
Twisted Pair (CAT 3 or 5)
10BASE-T
RJ-45
Twisted Pair (CAT 5)
100BASE-TX
RJ-45
Fiber (Multi-mode)
100BASE-FX
LC, SC
Fiber (Single-mode)
100BASE-FX
LC, SC
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for
both 10 Mbps and 100Mbps) be used whenever possible in order to provide
flexibility in a mixed-speed network, since LBH08x/LBH18x Series Switch ports
are auto-sensing for either 10 and 100Mbps. Note that the auto-sensing
function does not sense the cable type.
