Product Description

The 6GK5408-2FD00-2AA2 is a SCALANCE X408-2 modular industrial Ethernet switch, designed to provide high-performance networking and advanced management capabilities in rugged production environments. This switch features a hybrid port configuration, including four 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 ports and four 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports, alongside two additional slots for Gigabit or Fast Ethernet media modules. Engineered for reliability, the 6GK5408-2FD00-2AA2 includes an integrated redundancy manager and supports standard IT protocols such as RSTP and VLAN, enabling sophisticated network segmentation and high availability. It is supplied with a C-PLUG, which allows for rapid configuration backups and seamless device replacement, minimizing downtime in critical automation systems.

Features

  • Flexible Port Density: Combination of Gigabit and Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports for versatile device connection.
  • Modular Expansion: Two media module slots allow for customized network connectivity (Fiber/Copper).
  • Network Reliability: Integrated redundancy manager supports fault-tolerant network topologies.
  • Advanced Management: Supports VLAN (Virtual LAN) and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) for efficient traffic management.
  • Easy Maintenance: Includes a C-PLUG for fast, error-free device swapping and configuration storage.

Applications

  • High-availability industrial network backbones.
  • Integration of office-level communication protocols into the factory floor.
  • Real-time data transmission in multi-machine production lines.
  • Distributed control architectures requiring modular media flexibility.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the included C-PLUG?
The C-PLUG is a configuration storage medium. It allows for the easy backup and transfer of configuration data, which simplifies device replacement in case of failure without needing to reconfigure the new switch manually.
Can this switch be used in a ring topology?
Yes, the SCALANCE X408-2 features an integrated redundancy manager, which is designed to support high-availability ring topologies, ensuring network continuity even if one link fails.
Are the media module slots compatible with both Fiber and Copper?
Yes, the two slots are designed to accommodate various SCALANCE media modules, allowing you to choose between different media types (Fiber Optic or Copper) based on your network distance and interference requirements.
