Phoenix Contact: Unmanaged Ethernet Switches With Fiber

October 28, 2020

The FL SWITCH 1000 series from Phoenix Contact has now been extended with fiberglass versions. The switches feature a narrow housing, increased port density, and data traffic prioritization for automation protocols.

The seven models include both gigabit and Fast Ethernet versions, which makes applications with different bandwidths possible in a variety of industries. Some devices are also equipped with SFP ports that provide a higher degree of flexibility for customers, depending on their requirements for the connection method and distance. With the mounting accessories, the SWITCH 1000 series can be mounted flat on a DIN rail, enabling its use in small or flat cabinets where space is tight. With Energy Efficient Ethernet, these devices feature reduced power consumption, lowering the device’s heat build-up and space requirements.
