Network topology and network configuration
The SCALANCE XB-000/XB-000G switches are typically in-
stalled with the stations to be connected in a control cabinet
or control box. When configuring the network, it is necessary
to observe the following boundary conditions:
• Length of the TP cable between two SCALANCE XB-000/
XB-000G switches
- max. 100 m
- max. 10 m via patch cable with TP Cord
- max. 100 m via Industrial Ethernet FC Outlet RJ45,
IE FC Standard Cable and TP Cord
• Length of fiber-optic cables:
- max. 3 km with Industrial Ethernet FO cables
multimode
- max. 26 km with Industrial Ethernet FO cables
singlemode
Diagnostics
The following information is indicated on the device by means
of LEDs:
• Power
• Port status
• Data traffic
