Overview

Designed to fit many applications, EIR20x series switches are entry-level, unmanaged, plug-and-play industrial Ethernet switches. With a compact IP30 DIN rail case, LEDs for power and activity, 10 to 48 VDC power input with removable terminal blocks, auto-negotiation of speed, duplex and autocross, these switches are perfect for any application that doesn’t require management features. Choose a switch with all copper 10/100M ports, or one with a combination of copper 10/100M ports and 100Base fiber ports. For applications that require multiple fiber ports choose from the 3, 5 or 8 port switch families. Fiber optic port options include multi-mode or single mode fiber, with ST or SC connectors. For extra long distances choose 40 km or 80 km single-mode fiber options. Power supplies are sold separately

Field Application Story:

Wind Farms

Wind Farms are gaining attention as an energy source that requires no fuel, produces no pollution, and is virtually inexhaustible. Wind turbines are linked together for operation and energy monitoring. This poses a unique set of challenges since the layout of a wind farm can span across large distances. Keeping the data protected while communicating between wind turbines, and also communicating from the base to the top of each, can be achieved through fiber optic Ethernet connections. Check out the B&B Electronics full line of Ethernet switches, paying close attention to the 8-port versions with 3 fiber ports. Simply put, 3 fiber ports protect In, Out and Up communications in the wind farm application.
