Weidmuller IE-SW-BL06-4POE-2SC BasicLine Unmanaged PoE+ Fast Ethernet Switch

Description

Providing reliable power and data transmission in demanding industrial environments, the Weidmuller IE-SW-BL06-4POE-2SC (Article Number 1504210000) is an industrial-grade, unmanaged Fast Ethernet PoE+ switch. This device is equipped with four 10/100BaseT(X) Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) ports and two 100BaseFX multimode fiber optic ports with SC-Duplex connectors, enabling long-distance network extensions up to 5 km.

Engineered for seamless integration into factory automation and process control networks, this switch utilizes a store-and-forward switching architecture with a 1 K MAC address table and a 512 kBit packet buffer to ensure stable data transmission. The hardware is housed in a rugged IP30-rated aluminum enclosure and features redundant dual 24/48 V DC power inputs to maximize system uptime in critical applications.

Installation Guidelines

The switch is designed for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Ensure the DIN rail is securely grounded to the protective earth (PE) system before mounting the device. For optimal thermal performance, maintain at least 20 mm of clearance on all sides of the housing to allow natural convection cooling.

When wiring the redundant power inputs, use the provided 4-pin removable terminal block. Ensure that the power supply cables are rated for the maximum current consumption of 5.5 A at 24 V DC. Tighten the terminal block screws to the specified torque to prevent loose connections in high-vibration environments.
