Konten ES-0802C-M12

Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 10 M12 Ports and Bypass Function for Railway Applications

The Konten ES-0802C-M12 is an industrial unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch specifically designed to provide reliable network communication in railway vehicles, transportation systems and demanding industrial environments. Equipped with eight 10/100 Mbps M12 ports and two Gigabit M12 ports featuring an integrated Relay Bypass function, the switch offers a robust networking solution for industrial Ethernet infrastructures requiring high availability and dependable operation. The rugged M12 connectors provide secure, vibration-resistant connections, making the switch particularly suitable for mobile applications exposed to constant movement and mechanical stress. The integrated Relay Bypass function helps maintain network communication even during power loss, contributing to maximum network availability in mission-critical applications.

The ES-0802C-M12 has been developed for continuous operation in harsh environments and complies with the EN50155 standard for railway applications. Its durable SECC steel enclosure is rated IP40 as standard and is also available in an IP54 version. Combined with an extended operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, the switch ensures reliable performance even under extreme environmental conditions. Redundant power inputs together with built-in protection against overcurrent and reverse polarity improve operational reliability and provide a stable power supply for continuous industrial operation. These features make the switch suitable for applications where long-term reliability and system availability are essential.

For efficient data forwarding, the switch utilizes a Store-and-Forward switching architecture and provides a 5.6 Gbps switching capacity, an 8,000-entry MAC address table, and a 4 Mbit packet buffer. Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X simplify installation and allow seamless integration into existing Ethernet infrastructures. The combination of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces enables flexible connectivity for different devices and network segments while supporting reliable industrial communication across a wide range of applications.

LED indicators for power, system status and port activity allow quick monitoring of operating conditions. The switch supports wall mounting as well as optional DIN rail mounting, providing flexibility for installation in different industrial environments. Thanks to its compact design, rugged M12 connectivity and high resistance to demanding operating conditions, the Konten ES-0802C-M12 is ideally suited for railway vehicles, transportation systems, industrial automation, mobile machinery and other applications where reliable Ethernet communication, high system availability and durable industrial networking equipment are required.
