Overview


Introduction

The EIR405-SFP-T is an industrial DIN mount, unmanaged 5 port Gigabit Ethernet

switch. It has (4) 10/100/1000 copper Ethernet ports and (1) SFP slot used for Gigabit

fiber options.

The SFP Advantage

The SFP fiber slot provides flexibility when planning and implementing a network. The

SFP slot can accept any SFP-type fiber module and is capable of transmitting distances of

500m in (multi-mode) and 10km, 20km, and greater in (single-mode). The SFP slot

also supports SFP modules used for WDM single-fiber transmissions. This means that

you can easily change the transmission mode and distance of the switch by simply pulling

out the SFP module and plugging in a different module. The SFP modules are

hot-swappable and plug-and-play.

High-Speed Transmissions

The EIR405-SFP-T includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission

speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or

MDI-X is automatically selected and a crossover cable is not required. All Ethernet ports

have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that

data is properly transmitted

Dual Power Input

To reduce the risk of power failure, the EIR405-T provides two 12 to 48 VDC power

inputs. If the power fails, the switch will automatically switch to the secondary power

input. Also if the power goes out the corresponding P1 or P2 LED will go out and the

Fault LED will light. The contacts for the alarm output will also open.

Flexible Mounting

The EIR405-SFP-T can be DIN or Panel mounted. The compact design is suitable for

space-constrained environments such as a small cabinet.
