witch (
Modular Managed Switch System - MMS
) is an Ethernet
switch, which is suitable for industrial use and consists of a head station, extension
modules, and interface modules. The head station and extension modules contain the
entire Ethernet switching technology. Interface modules provide the interface to the desired
physical transmission method. An extension module can be used to extend the head station
from eight ports to 16 ports, and the use of two extension modules gives a maximum of
24 ports. The desired transmission medium can be freely selected using the various
interface modules.

Transmission method
10/100 Mbps polymer/HCS fibers on the MMS
Easy to assemble polymer fibers can now also be used for Ethernet. This cost-effective fiber
optic technology can cover distances of up to 50 m. This provides cost savings both during
installation and for maintenance when replacing mechanically damaged fiber optic cables.
HCS fiber technology is available for distances of up to 300 m.
Unless stated otherwise, all information in this manual is valid for the FL SWITCH MM HS
