SLX-8MG Industrial Ethernet Switch

Four Flexible Combination Gigabit Ports

Your choice – just connect to the RJ45 for a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-detecting copper link or plug in a fiber transceiver for a 100 or 1000Mbps noise-immune fiber link. These advanced ports give you the flexibility you need and make your job easier!

Real-Time Secure Performance

• Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) and Real-Time Ring™ for fast redundant ring or mesh networks
• SNMPv1 and v2 network management
• SNMPv3 authentication and encryption for security
• SNMP notifications (traps) for report on event
• Priority Queuing (QoS/CoS) for real-time operation
• IGMP for Multicast filtering (snooping and querying)
• VLAN for convenient traffic segregation
• Broadcast and multicast storm protection
• RMON and port mirroring for advanced diagnostics
• Security with HTTPS, SSL, SSH, SNMPv3 and more
• Easy configuration via Web, Telnet or CLI
• Free firmware upgrades forever

Industrial Design

• UL/CSA (CUL), CE, Hazardous Locations (Zone 2) and Maritime rated
• Ultra-reliable with 1,000,000+ service-free hours (MTBF)
• Wide temperature operation -40 to 75°C – No fans!
• Dual (redundant) power inputs with spike protection
• Self-test and alarm output contact
• Rugged corrosion-resistant aluminum packaging
• DIN-rail or direct-panel mounting in multiple positions

Ethernet Performance

• Operation: Store and forward, wire-speed switching, non-blocking
• Modes: Full or half duplex operation with flow control supported on all ports
• MAC addresses: 8192
• Memory bandwidth: 32 Gbps

Ethernet Ports

• RJ45 ports: Eight RJ45 ports that are fully IEEE 802.3 compliant

• RJ45 MDI / MDIX: Auto-mdi / mdix-crossover automatically supports either straight or crossed cables
• RJ45 Polarity: Auto-polarity for automatic correction of crossed TXD and RXD pairs
• Four ports are combination Gigabit ports that have both a RJ45 connector and SFP cage. For each of these ports only one connector can be used at a time.
• SFP (pluggable) ports accept Mini-GBIC (SFP) transceivers with a speed of 1000Mbps or 100Mbps
• See separate datasheet for optional fiber transceiver specifications

Specifications are subject to change. Contact Sixnet to learn more.

This Sixnet exclusive feature allows you to choose the mounting method that best fits your requirements. This capability is a standard feature so no accessories or optional kits are required.

Vertical snap-on DIN-rail
mounting for quickest installation
and optimal rail width utilization.

Vertical screw-to-panel mounting for better shock and vibration resistance.

Flat screw-to-panel mounting for low profile orientation in shallow boxes plus best shock
and vibration resistance.

Note: Special (such as Bi-Di) or extra long haul (up to 120 km) are available special order.
