KONTEN MS-0828X

The KONTEN MS-0828X is an industrial managed Ethernet switch with 8+28 ports and 10G uplink, designed for reliable network operation in demanding industrial environments. Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, 24 additional 1000F(x) SFP slots, and four 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ slots offer system integrators and machine builders exceptionally high port density and maximum flexibility for building extensive network infrastructures.

For users, the large number of SFP slots provides an ideal foundation for extensive fiber-optic networks with numerous connected endpoints, as commonly required in larger industrial facilities or distributed production sites. The four 10-gigabit SFP+ uplinks additionally provide substantial bandwidth headroom for connecting to higher-level network tiers. Network redundancy through RSTP, MSTP, ERPS, and LACP ensures that in the event of a connection failure, traffic is automatically rerouted to alternative paths, minimizing downtime in production-critical networks. QoS functions via CoS and DSCP prioritize critical data streams, ensuring deterministic behavior for automation applications with real-time requirements. IGMP Snooping versions 1 through 3, supporting up to 4096 groups, enables particularly comprehensive management of multicast data streams. The USB storage function enables configuration-free device replacement during service, significantly speeding up maintenance work. The switch also supports the industrial automation protocols Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP for direct integration into existing PLC and control systems.

Thanks to its rugged construction for harsh environments, wide operating temperature range, and IP30 protection class, the MS-0828X is ideally suited for factory automation and larger industrial network infrastructures requiring high port density and extensive fiber connectivity.
