PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The

104TX

Industrial Network Switch is designed to

solve the most demanding industrial communication
requirements while providing high throughput and
minimum downtime.

The

104TX

provides four RJ-45 auto sensing

10/100BaseTX ports. All ports are full/half duplex
capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching
technology. The

104TX

auto-negotiates the speed

and flow control capabilities of the four TX port
connections, and configures itself automatically.

Since the

104TX

is auto sensing, there will be no need

to make extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made
to the host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O
modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down
automatically to match specifi c network environments.

The

104TX

supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses,

enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated
and complex network architectures.

The

104TX

is an ideal candidate for upgrading

existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth
and determinism by virtually eliminating network
collisions. The

N-TRON 104TX

combines affordability

and the plug & play simplicity of the unmanaged hub.

The

104TX

can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the

need to bring data acquisition and control network
connections back to a climate controlled environment.
The

104TX

has extended operating environmental

specifi cations to meet the harsh needs of the industrial
environment. For cost savings and convenience the
network switch can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside
Ethernet I/O or other Industrial Equipment.

To increase reliability the

104TX

provides dual

redundant power inputs. LED's are provided to display
the link status and activity of each port.
