INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CNGE2FE24MS
ENVIRONMENTALLY HARDENED MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH WITH (24)
10/100TX + (2) 10/100/1000TX RJ45 OR 1000 FX SFP PORTS
V1.02 – October 2009
The ComNet™ CNGE2FE24MS Managed Ethernet Switch provides transmission of (24) 10/100
BASE-TX and (2) 10/100/1000TX or 1000FX combo ports. Unlike most Ethernet switches, these
environmentally hardened units are designed for deployment in difficult operating environments,
and are available for use with either conventional CAT-5e copper or optical transmission media.
The 24 electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol, and auto-
negotiating and auto-MDI/MDIX features are provided for simplicity and ease of installation. 2 ports
are 10/100/1000 configurable for copper or fiber media for use with multimode or single mode optical
fiber, selected by optional SFP modules. These network managed layer 2 switches are optically
(1000 BASE-FX) and electrically compatible with any IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet devices. Plug-
and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever
required. The CNGE2FE24MS incorporates LED indicators for monitoring the operating status of the
managed switch and network. These units are rack mountable.
