Hirschmann RS20-1600S2M2SDAU | 16-Port Industrial Switch | Multimode & Singlemode Fiber | 14x RJ45

The Hirschmann RS20-1600S2M2SDAU is a versatile 16-port industrial Ethernet switch designed for maximum flexibility in mixed-fiber network environments. This unique switch combines both multimode and singlemode fiber optic connectivity in a single device, providing exceptional adaptability for integrating diverse network segments and legacy fiber infrastructure.

Key Features and Product Highlights

• Hybrid Fiber Connectivity: Features 1x 100Base-FX multimode SC port for short to medium-distance connections and 1x 100Base-FX singlemode SC port for long-distance links, providing unparalleled flexibility for connecting to various existing fiber infrastructures.

• Optimized Fiber Integration: The multimode port (typically up to 2 km) is ideal for campus and building backbone connections, while the singlemode port (typically up to 26 km) serves longer-distance requirements, eliminating the need for separate media conversion equipment.

• Comprehensive Copper Access: Provides 14x 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX for direct connection of field devices, PLCs, HMIs, and other industrial equipment at the network edge.

• Rugged Industrial Construction: Built with IP30-rated metal housing and designed for -40°C to +75°C operation, ensuring reliable performance in harsh industrial environments with exposure to dust, moisture, vibration, and extreme temperatures.

• Network Design Versatility: Supports seamless integration between different fiber types, making it ideal for network upgrades, expansions, or bridging between legacy multimode and modern singlemode fiber installations.

Technical Specifications
