The Hirschmann SPIDER 8TX is a robust and compact unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Rail Switch designed to facilitate reliable communication within industrial environments. This switch operates on a store-and-forward switching mode, supporting both Ethernet and Fast-Ethernet at 10/100 Mbit/s, making it a versatile choice for a variety of network configurations.
Equipped with eight 10/100BASE-TX ports, the SPIDER 8TX allows for the connection of multiple devices or network segments using standard twisted pair cables. Each port features auto-crossing, auto-negotiation, and auto-polarity, ensuring seamless integration and ease of use without the need for complex configuration.
The switch is engineered to withstand the rigours of industrial settings, with a wide operating temperature range from 0 ºC to +60 ºC and a robust design that ensures it can handle the physical demands of such environments. Its compact dimensions (40 mm x 114 mm x 79 mm) and DIN rail mounting capability make it an ideal solution for space-constrained installations.
Diagnostic LEDs provide quick visual feedback on power, link status, data, and data rate, allowing for at-a-glance monitoring of network performance. With a protection class of IP30, the SPIDER 8TX is protected against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm, adding to its suitability for industrial applications.
The SPIDER 8TX's reliability is further underscored by its impressive MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) rating, reflecting the switch's quality and durability. Whether you're setting up a new industrial network or expanding an existing one, the Hirschmann SPIDER 8TX offers a straightforward, reliable solution for your data communication needs.
