Description and operating instructions
Industrial Rail Switch
SPIDER xTX(/xFX)
The Rail Switches
– SPIDER 5TX
– SPIDER 8TX
– SPIDER 4TX/1FX
in short SPIDER xTX(/xFX), are switches
especially designed for use in industrial
environments. It supports ETHERNET
10 MBit/s and Fast ETHERNET 100 MBit/s.
The devices support switched ETHERNET
networks in accordance with IEEE standard
802.3 or 802.3u using copper and fiber optic
technology. The devices are plugged onto
the standard bar.
The SPIDER 5TX devices have five 10/100
MBit/s twisted pair ports (RJ45 connectors).
It is possible to connect up to five data
terminal equipments or other network
segments to the TP ports using twisted pair
cabling.
The SPIDER 8TX devices have eight 10/100
MBit/s twisted pair ports (RJ45 connectors).
It is possible to connect up to eight data
terminal equipments or other network
segments to the TP ports using twisted pair
cabling.
The SPIDER 4TX/1FX devices have four
10/100 MBit/s twisted pair ports (RJ45
connectors) and one 100 MBit/s fiber optic
port (100BASE-FX, Duplex SC connector). It
is possible to connect up to four data
terminal equipments or other network
segments to the TP ports using twisted pair
cabling. One further DTE or optical network
component can be connected to the fiber
port.
The TP ports support autonegotiation, auto-
polarity and autocrossing.
The fiber optic port of the SPIDER 4TX/1FX
supports full duplex (FDX).
