The Hirschmann SPIDER-PL-20-16T1999999TZ9HHHV is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet DIN-rail switch designed for dependable Fast Ethernet connectivity in harsh environments. It provides 16 x 10/100BASE‑TX RJ45 copper ports with auto-negotiation, auto-crossing and auto-polarity to simplify network expansion and device replacement. Store-and-forward switching helps maintain stable data handling, while the fanless, metal IP40 housing supports long-term operation with minimal maintenance requirements.
Built for industrial cabinets and control panels, the unit operates across a wide temperature range (-40 to +70 °C) and includes clear LED indication for power and port status (link, activity and data rate) to aid rapid checks during commissioning. Power is supplied via a 6-pin plug-in terminal block, supporting redundant inputs and common industrial voltages (12/24/48 V DC and 24 V AC). A USB interface is provided for configuration access, and the compact form factor (61 x 163.6 x 114.7 mm, excluding terminal block) makes it well suited to space-constrained installations.

What type of Ethernet switch is this device?
It is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet rail switch designed for plug-and-play operation, using store-and-forward switching in a fanless metal housing.
How many Ethernet ports does it provide and what speed are they?
It provides 16 RJ45 twisted-pair ports supporting 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet.
Do the RJ45 ports support auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X?
Yes. The copper ports support auto-negotiation, auto-crossing (MDI/MDI-X), and auto-polarity to simplify installation.
What is the maximum recommended copper cable length per port?
For twisted-pair copper Ethernet, the typical maximum segment length is up to 100 m per port.
Which network topologies can it be used in?
It can be cascaded in line or arranged in star topologies without special setup, making it suitable for expanding small-to-medium industrial networks.
What power supply options does it accept?
It accepts a wide range of supply options: 12/24/48 V DC (with a stated operating range of 9.6–32 V DC) as well as 24 V AC, with redundant power input capability.
How is power connected to the unit?
Power is connected via a plug-in 6-pin terminal block, which is included with the device.
What is the purpose of the USB interface on the unit?
The unit includes a USB interface intended for configuration tasks; it is not required for basic plug-and-play switching.
What diagnostic indicators are available on the front of the switch?
It provides LED indicators for power, link status, data activity, and data rate to help confirm network and port status at a glance.
What are the operating temperature and humidity ranges?
The operating temperature range is -40 to +70 °C, and permissible relative humidity is 10–95% (non-condensing).
Is the unit suitable for DIN rail mounting, and what is the enclosure rating?
Yes, it is designed for DIN rail mounting and uses an IP40-rated metal housing.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
The dimensions are 61 x 163.6 x 114.7 mm (without the terminal block), and the weight is approximately 990 g.
How much power does the switch consume?
Maximum power consumption is 5.1 W (approximately 17.2 BTU/h).
What certifications or compliance markings are typically associated with this device?
It is specified with CE and FCC compliance and is referenced against EN61131 as a basis standard. For internal records, this configuration is commonly referenced as SPIDER-PL-20-16T1999999TZ9HHHV.
