Konten ES-0804C-M12

Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 12 M12 Ports and Relay Bypass Function for Railway Applications

The Konten ES-0804C-M12 is an industrial unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to provide reliable network communication in railway vehicles, transportation systems and demanding industrial environments. Equipped with eight 10/100 Mbps M12 ports and four 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit M12 ports with integrated Relay Bypass function, the switch offers a powerful solution for industrial Ethernet networks requiring high availability and robust operation. The M12 connectors provide secure and vibration-resistant connections, making the switch particularly suitable for mobile applications and environments exposed to mechanical stress. The integrated Relay Bypass function maintains network communication even during power interruptions and contributes to maximum system availability in critical applications.

The ES-0804C-M12 has been developed for operation under harsh environmental conditions and complies with the EN50155 standard for railway applications. Its robust SECC metal enclosure provides IP40 protection as standard and is also available in an IP54 version. With an extended operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, the switch ensures reliable performance even under extreme climatic conditions. Redundant power inputs and integrated protection against overcurrent and reverse polarity ensure stable power supply and improve operational safety. These characteristics make the switch suitable for applications where long-term reliability and resistance to demanding environments are essential.

For efficient data transmission, the switch uses a Store-and-Forward switching architecture and provides a 9.6 Gbps switching capacity, an 8,000-entry MAC address table, and a 4 Mbit packet buffer. Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X simplify integration into existing Ethernet infrastructures and enable fast installation. The combination of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports allows flexible connection of different network devices while ensuring reliable and efficient industrial communication.

LED indicators for power supply, system status and port activity enable quick monitoring of operating conditions. The switch supports wall mounting and optional DIN rail mounting, allowing flexible integration into various industrial systems. With its compact design, rugged M12 connectivity and integrated Relay Bypass function, the Konten ES-0804C-M12 is ideally suited for railway vehicles, metro systems, industrial automation, mobile machinery and transportation infrastructure requiring reliable Ethernet communication under challenging operating conditions.
