PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The
106FX2
Industrial Network Switch is
d e s i g n e d t o s o l v e t h e m o s t d e m a n d i n g
industrial communications requirements while
providing high throughput and minimum downtime.
The
106FX2
provides four RJ-45 auto sensing
10/100BaseTX ports, plus two fiber based Fast
Ethernet uplink ports. All TX ports are full/half duplex
capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching
technology. The
106FX2
auto-negotiates the speed
and flow control capabilities of the four TX port
connections, and confi gures itself automatically. The
two fiber ports are 100BaseFX fiber optic uplinks
utilizing industry standard ST or SC duplex connectors.
Since the TX ports of the
106FX2
are auto

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 your specifi c network environment.
The
106FX2
supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses,
thus enabling these products to support extremely
sophisticated and complex network architectures.
The
N-TRON 106FX2
is an ideal candidate for

increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually
eliminating network collisions. The product also keeps
the network affordable, while maintaining the plug
& play simplicity of a unmanaged hub. The
106FX2
can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need
to bring data acquisition and control network con-
nections back to a climate controlled environment.
The
106FX2
has extended operating environmental
specifi cations to meet the harsh needs of the industrial
environment. For cost savings and convenience the
106FX2
can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside Ethernet
I/O or other industrial equipment. The unique compact
size provides a small footprint, conserving space in the
most critical dimension.
To increase reliability, the
106FX2
contains redundant
power inputs. LEDs are provided to display the link
status and activity of each port, as well as power on/
off status.
