KONTEN MS-0812X

The KONTEN MS-0812X is an industrial managed Ethernet switch with 8+12 ports and 10G uplink, designed for reliable network operation in demanding industrial environments. Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight additional 100/1000F(x) SFP slots, and four 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ slots offer system integrators and machine builders a fiber-focused network solution with high uplink capacity.

For users, the large number of SFP slots provides an ideal foundation for fiber-optic networks over long distances, as commonly required in distributed industrial facilities or outdoor areas — without the interference issues of long-distance copper cabling. 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 512 groups, enables efficient management of multicast data streams, such as video transmissions on the network. 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, IP30 protection class, and EN50121-4 certification, the MS-0812X is ideally suited for factory automation, railway applications, and other industrial networks that rely on fiber-based 10G connectivity over long distances.
