Konten CS-0828X

Industrial Managed Layer 3 Switch with 8 Gigabit Ports, 24 SFP Ports and 10G SFP+ Uplinks

The Konten CS-0828X is an industrial Managed Layer 3 switch designed for high-performance and highly available network infrastructures in demanding industrial environments. Equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 24 Gigabit SFP slots and 4 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ slots, it provides a powerful platform for building large-scale Ethernet and fiber optic networks. The combination of copper and fiber interfaces enables flexible network topologies while ensuring reliable data transmission over both short and long distances. As a result, the CS-0828X is well suited for applications requiring high bandwidth, excellent scalability and maximum network availability. Its 160 Gbps switching capacity enables efficient processing of large volumes of network traffic and supports stable operation even under heavy workloads.

The switch has been specifically developed for operation in harsh industrial environments. Its robust IP30 metal housing, extended operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, and redundant power input options ensure reliable continuous operation under demanding conditions. Network redundancy is provided through RSTP, MSTP, G.8032 ERPSv2 and LACP, helping to secure communication paths and minimize network downtime. These technologies contribute to maintaining uninterrupted communication in critical industrial infrastructures where high availability is essential.

For managing complex network architectures, the Konten CS-0828X supports extensive Layer 3 features, including static routing, RIP v1/v2, RIPng, OSPF v2, OSPF v3, VRRP v2 and PIM-SM. These capabilities allow multiple network segments to be organized and managed efficiently while supporting structured communication across industrial environments. Additional networking functions such as VLAN, Q-in-Q, IGMP Snooping v1/v2/v3, IGMP Querier and DHCP Relay Option 82 enable flexible segmentation and efficient administration of industrial Ethernet networks. Quality of Service (QoS) with CoS and DSCP, eight priority queues and Storm Protection provide precise traffic prioritization and effective network load management.

Administration is available through a Web interface, CLI, Telnet, serial console and SNMP v1/v2c/v3, allowing flexible integration into existing network management environments. Diagnostic and monitoring tools including RMON, Syslog, Port Mirroring, LLDP and Cable Diagnostic support efficient maintenance and troubleshooting. The integrated USB port simplifies firmware updates as well as configuration backup and restoration, reducing maintenance time and simplifying device replacement. With support for industrial communication protocols such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFINET, the CS-0828X integrates seamlessly into modern automation and control systems. It is ideally suited for applications in factory automation, mechanical engineering, production facilities, energy infrastructure and industrial communication networks requiring high performance, maximum availability and extensive fiber optic connectivity.
