Siemens 6GK5108-0PA00-2AC2 is a SCALANCE XCM108PoE compact, unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch designed to simplify reliable network expansion while also powering connected devices via Power over Ethernet. It provides 8 × RJ45 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbit/s), each capable of PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3at (up to 30 W per port), with a total available PoE budget of up to 120 W across all ports—ideal for powering IP cameras, access points and other PoE-capable field equipment without separate local power supplies.
Built for control-cabinet and machine-level installations, the unit features clear LED diagnostics and an integrated error-signalling contact (24 V DC, up to 0.1 A) for straightforward status indication to a PLC or alarm circuit. It supports redundant DC power inputs (19.2…55 V DC) via a 4-pole terminal block, helping to maintain network availability in the event of a power source issue. With a compact IP20 polycarbonate enclosure, DIN-rail or wall mounting options, and a wide operating temperature range of -40…+60 °C, it is well suited to harsh industrial environments.
Additional capabilities include Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritisation, PROFINET Conformance Class A suitability, support for operation in PRP networks, and automatic learning of up to 2048 MAC addresses, enabling stable performance in busy industrial LAN topologies. Dimensions are approximately 80 mm (W) × 147 mm (H) × 125 mm (D), with a net weight of around 0.87 kg.

What type of device is this product?
It is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch designed for robust networking in industrial environments. The Siemens model is commonly referred to as SCALANCE XCM108PoE.
How many Ethernet ports does it provide, and what are their speeds?
It provides 8 RJ45 copper Ethernet ports that support 10/100 Mbit/s operation (Fast Ethernet).
Does it support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes. It supports PoE on all 8 ports in accordance with IEEE 802.3at, supplying up to 30 W per port (depending on the connected powered device and the available PoE budget).
What is the total PoE power budget available?
The total PoE power available is up to 120 W across the 8 PoE ports.
Is this switch managed or unmanaged?
It is unmanaged, meaning it does not require configuration for basic switching operation.
Does it support Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation?
Yes. It supports CoS (Class of Service) to help prioritise traffic.
Is it suitable for PROFINET networks?
Yes. It is specified with PROFINET conformity class A, making it suitable for many PROFINET communication setups that use standard Ethernet switching.
Can it be used in a PRP redundancy network?
Yes. It supports operation in a PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) network. It does not support PRP Redundant Network Access (RNA).
What power supply range does it accept?
It accepts DC supply voltages in the range 19.2 to 55 V. It includes connections intended for redundant power supply.
Does it have any alarm or fault signalling capability?
Yes. It includes an error-signalling contact (2-pole terminal block), rated at 24 V DC with up to 0.1 A.
What diagnostic indications are available on the unit?
It provides LED diagnostics on the device to indicate operating and port-related states, and it also includes a set pushbutton.
What are the environmental operating limits?
The operating ambient temperature range is -40 to +60 °C. Relative humidity can be up to 95% at 25 °C, non-condensing.
What is the enclosure protection rating?
It is rated IP20, intended for installation within a suitable enclosure or cabinet.
How can it be mounted inside a panel?
It supports 35 mm DIN rail mounting and wall mounting. It is also suitable for S7-300 and S7-1500 rail mounting.
What are the physical dimensions and approximate weight?
Approximate dimensions are 80 mm (W) × 147 mm (H) × 125 mm (D), with a net weight of about 0.87 kg.
How many MAC addresses can it learn?
It can automatically learn up to 2048 MAC addresses.
What is the housing material?
The enclosure material is polycarbonate (PC-GF10).
- Powering and networking PoE-capable industrial devices (up to 30 W per port) such as machine-vision cameras, inspection cameras and industrial wireless access points
- Adding an 8-port Industrial Ethernet expansion point in control cabinets for production lines, skids and packaged equipment
- Creating simple, plug-and-play Ethernet drops at machine level where an unmanaged switch is preferred for straightforward commissioning
- Consolidating Ethernet connections from PLCs, remote I/O, operator panels and distributed automation nodes into a single cabinet switch point
- Providing combined data and power over one cable to reduce separate power wiring for field-mounted PoE endpoints
- Segmenting small cell or workstation networks (for example, a standalone assembly cell or test bench) from the wider plant network using a dedicated switch
- Enabling redundant DC power arrangements for higher availability installations that use dual supply feeds
- Supporting industrial environments with wide operating temperature range where office-grade networking equipment is unsuitable
- Supplying PoE for perimeter or process-area monitoring devices within factories, warehouses and utilities infrastructure
- Building compact network hubs in confined enclosures where DIN-rail mounting and a compact footprint are important
- Integrating PoE endpoints into PROFINET-based automation networks using standard Industrial Ethernet switching at 10/100 Mbit/s
- Modernising legacy machine wiring by introducing PoE-powered endpoints (cameras, access points, sensors) without adding new local power circuits
