CWFE8MS/DIN 

INDUSTRIAL GRADE MANAGED   

ETHERNET SWITCH WITH (8) 10/100TX PORTS   

 

V2.0 – March 2011 

The ComNet CWFE8MS/DIN Managed Ethernet Switch provides transmission of 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet data. 

These units are available for use with conventional CAT-5e copper transmission media. Up to 8 electrical ports 

are available for easily implementing point-to-point, linear add-drop, drop-and-repeat, star or true self-healing 

ring and mesh network system architectures. The electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps (10/100 BASE-TX) 

Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol. Auto-negotiating and auto- MDI/MDIX features are provided for simplicity and ease 

of installation. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever 

required. The CWFE8MS/DIN incorporates LED indicators for monitoring the operating status of the managed 

switch and network.
