The Westermo SDW-541-MM-LC2 is a robust and reliable Industrial Ethernet 5-port switch, designed specifically for heavy-duty industrial applications. This unmanaged switch features 4 x 10/100BaseTX Ethernet TX ports and 1 x 100BaseFX Ethernet FX port, supporting a variety of standard fibre optic connection types including LC, SC, and ST.
The SDW-541-MM-LC2 is built to withstand the rigours of industrial environments, with dual power inputs for 10 to 57 VDC operation and total galvanic isolation between each port. This unique isolation extends to the chassis screen, helping to prevent ground loop currents. The switch carries an IP21 rating, making it suitable for installation in locations where condensed water may occur.
With an impressive MTBF of 1-347,000 hours, the SDW-541-MM-LC2 ensures a long service life. It operates efficiently within a wide temperature range of -25 to +70°C, without the need for moving parts. The switch has been thoroughly tested to meet numerous EMC, isolation, vibration, and shock standards, making it ideal for the most demanding industrial environments.
For simplified network diagnostics, the SDW-541-MM-LC2 includes a port mirroring function, allowing data flow through the switch to be monitored using a network analyser. All five ports can have data rate and flow control locked by DIP switch, which can be particularly useful when dealing with older legacy Ethernet equipment that does not support auto-negotiation.
In summary, the Westermo SDW-541-MM-LC2 is a versatile and durable Industrial Ethernet switch, designed to deliver reliable performance in the toughest industrial settings.
