Industrial Managed Ethernet Switch with 16 M12 Ports and 4 × 10G Uplinks for High-Performance Industrial Networks

The Konten MS-1604XE-M12 is a high-performance industrial managed Ethernet switch specifically designed for demanding railway, transportation and industrial automation applications. Featuring 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with M12 X-coded connectors and 4 additional 1G/10GBASE-T Ethernet uplink ports, the switch provides a powerful networking solution for environments requiring high data throughput, maximum availability and reliable communication. The rugged M12 connectors ensure secure and vibration-resistant connections even under harsh mechanical conditions, making the switch ideal for railway vehicles, industrial installations, transportation systems and mobile applications. With its integrated 10G uplink interfaces, the switch enables powerful backbone connections and efficient handling of large amounts of network traffic.

The MS-1604XE-M12 has been engineered for reliable operation in extreme industrial environments. Its rugged SECC/aluminum 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 stable performance even under challenging climatic conditions. The redundant power supply supports 24–48 VDC as well as 72–110 VDC, providing increased system availability and operational reliability. Integrated protection against overcurrent and reverse polarity further improves electrical safety and contributes to long-term durability. Thanks to its industrial design, support for EN45545-2 and railway-oriented features, the switch is ideally suited for critical communication infrastructures.

As a fully managed Layer 2 switch, the MS-1604XE-M12 offers extensive network management and security functions for modern industrial Ethernet systems. It supports RSTP, MSTP, G.8032 ERPS v2 and LACP for redundant network topologies, while QoS with CoS and DSCP support enables prioritization of important data traffic. Additional features include IGMP Snooping v1/v2/v3 with up to 4096 groups, VLAN, Q-in-Q, DHCP Relay Option 82, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and advanced security functions such as IEEE 802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSL and SSH. Support for industrial protocols including EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP enables seamless integration into modern automation networks. With a 112 Gbps switching capacity, a 32,000-entry MAC address table and a 32 Mbit packet buffer, the switch delivers exceptional performance for data-intensive industrial applications.

LED indicators for power supply and port status enable quick diagnostics and simplify maintenance. The switch supports wall mounting and can be easily integrated into various industrial and railway infrastructures. Combining high port density, 10G uplink capabilities, advanced management functions and rugged M12 connectivity, the Konten MS-1604XE-M12 is an ideal solution for industrial networks, railway vehicles, transportation systems and all applications requiring high speed, maximum reliability and continuous network availability.
