The SX-1162 module includes a standard 5-port Ethernet switch. The ports are terminated with the RJ-45 connectors and they support the 10Base-T and 100Base-TX interface (rate 10 or 100 Mbit). They are also equipped with the automatic cable crossover function (Auto-MDIX). The status of each port is indicated by a LED diode on the front panel of the module. After connecting the terminal equipment, the LED indicator of the relevant port lights, and during a data exchange it flashes.
The module is placed in a 2M housing on a DIN rail, 4 Ethernet ports are terminated on the bottom board of the module (two up and two down), the fifth port is on the front panel of the module (the same as the Ethernet port on the Foxtrot basic modules).
An advantage of this switch is its mechanical implementation (for placement in standard distribution cabinets, etc.) and the operating design, because - unlike ordinary commercial switches - it is intended for continuous operation in the construction of the control panel (there is no risk of overheating, etc.).
