RSP Supply carries a full line of Phoenix Contact DIN rail Ethernet switches engineered for dependable industrial network performance. Designed for easy installation and rugged reliability, these compact switches deliver secure, stable connectivity in control cabinets and harsh environments where uptime is critical. Models are available with RJ45 copper ports, SFP fiber optic ports, and M12 connectors with operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and protection ratings from IP20 to IP67 for indoor and field installation applications.
Phoenix Contact unmanaged switches in the FL SWITCH 1000 and 1100 series offer compact designs with 5, 8, and 16 port configurations supporting 10/100 Mbps and Gigabit transmission speeds with automatic data transmission speed detection, autocrossing function, and QoS. Unmanaged PoE switches enable power and data delivery to up to eight end devices through a single Ethernet cable. For field installation, the 1600 and 1700 series provide IP67 protection for use in harsh outdoor and washdown environments.
Phoenix Contact managed switches in the FL SWITCH 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, and EP4000 series offer advanced VLAN configuration, network monitoring, redundancy functions, and comprehensive security features for demanding industrial networks. The FL SWITCH TSN 2300 and FL SWITCH 5900 support Time-Sensitive Networking for real-time Ethernet applications and PROFINET TSN and CC-Link IE TSN profiles. NAT switch versions combine switching and routing in a single DIN rail device for easy machine and system network integration. The Raptor series meets IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards for critical infrastructure and energy sector applications. Ethernet-APL switches enable direct two-wire Ethernet connection of sensors and field devices in process technology and potentially explosive Zone 0, 1, and 2 areas.
FAQs
Q: What is the difference between managed and unmanaged Phoenix Contact DIN rail Ethernet switches?
Managed switches including the FL SWITCH 2000 and 5900 series allow VLAN configuration, network monitoring, redundancy, and security control, while unmanaged switches in the FL SWITCH 1000 and 1100 series provide simple plug-and-play connectivity for fixed networks requiring minimal setup.
Q: Do Phoenix Contact DIN rail Ethernet switches support PoE?
Yes. Both managed and unmanaged PoE versions are available, enabling power and data delivery to IP cameras, access points, and sensors through a single Ethernet cable with IP20 and IP65 protection options.
Q: What Phoenix Contact switch series supports IEC 61850 certification?
The Raptor series managed switches are certified to IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards, making them the ideal choice for critical infrastructure, energy sector, and substation automation applications.
Q: Are Phoenix Contact DIN rail Ethernet switches suitable for hazardous areas?
Yes. Ethernet-APL field switches support Zone 0, 1, and 2 explosion-protected area installations, enabling direct two-wire Ethernet connection of sensors and field devices in process technology applications.
Q: What is TSN and which Phoenix Contact switches support it?
Time-Sensitive Networking enables real-time Ethernet communication with precise time synchronization. The FL SWITCH TSN 2300 and FL SWITCH 5900 series support TSN along with PROFINET TSN and CC-Link IE TSN profiles for time-critical industrial automation applications.
