Scalance XB-200 industrial Ethernet switches provide Fast Ethernet data rates up to 100 Mbps and support the Ethernet/IP standard. The compact plug-and-play switches support VLAN and also are certified for use in hazardous areas (IECEx/ATEX Zone 2/UL HazLoc). Multicast blocking, loop detection and access control via radius server help to enhance system performance. SNMP functions monitor large networks when used with Sinema Server and other tools. Up to 16 electrical and three optical connections (SC, ST/BFOC and SC LD) give the switches flexibility in choosing the right switch for each application.
