Description
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the Weidmuller 1504240000 (Model: IE-SW-BL06T-4POE-2ST) is an unmanaged Power over Ethernet (PoE) Fast Ethernet switch engineered to deliver reliable data transmission and power supply to connected devices. This robust network switch features four PoE+ ports and two multimode fiber ports with ST-Duplex connectors, enabling secure, long-distance optical communication up to 5 km. Built with a rugged IP30 aluminum housing, the device supports a wide operating temperature range, making it highly suitable for deployment in harsh industrial settings where temperature fluctuations and electrical noise are common.
The switch utilizes a store-and-forward data switching mechanism to ensure packet integrity and minimize transmission errors. With redundant 24/48 V DC power inputs, the unit guarantees continuous operation even in the event of a primary power source failure. Its compact form factor and integrated DIN-rail mounting clip allow for quick and efficient installation in standard control cabinets.

Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting: Snap the device securely onto a standard TS 35 DIN rail. Ensure the mounting clip is locked in place.
-
Wiring: Connect the redundant power supplies to the 4-pin terminal block. Verify correct polarity before applying power.
-
Grounding: Connect the ground screw on the housing to the protective earth ground of the cabinet to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection.
-
Ventilation: Maintain at least 50 mm of free space above and below the switch to allow natural convection cooling. Do not block the ventilation slots.
-
Fiber Optic Handling: Keep dust caps on the ST-Duplex ports when not in use to prevent contamination of the optical interfaces.
