CWGE24MODMS 

MODULAR 24 PORT MANAGED SWITCH 

 

V2.02 – October 2010 

The ComNet™ CWGE24MODMS Managed Ethernet Switch Chassis provides transmission of twenty-four (24) 

Ethernet Ports with the use of three eight port expansion modules. This Ethernet switch is easily configurable by 

selecting, sold separately, eight port modules that allow for all copper, optical with four copper and four SFP 

modules, or all optical with SFP modules making the CWGE24MODMS switch available for use with either 

conventional CAT-5e copper or optical transmission media. The 24 electrical ports support the 10/100/1000 

Mbps Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/MDIX features are provided for 

simplicity and ease of installation. 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 CWGE24MODMS incorporates LED 

indicators for monitoring the operating status of the managed switch and network. The CWGE24MODMS and its 

corresponding modules are designed for installation in benign (0º – +45º C) operating environments.
