Hirschmann RS20-1600L2M2SDAU | 16-Port Industrial Switch | MM SC & Long Haul SM SC Fiber | 14x RJ45

The Hirschmann RS20-1600L2M2SDAU is a highly versatile 16-port industrial Ethernet switch engineered for complex network architectures that require both extreme long-distance connectivity and local multimode fiber integration. This hybrid switch combines a long-haul singlemode fiber port for remote site connections with a standard multimode port for local backbone links, offering unmatched flexibility for distributed industrial networks.

Key Features and Product Highlights

• Extreme Distance Capability: Features 1x 100Base-FX Long Haul singlemode SC port supporting transmission distances up to 80 km, enabling connections to remote sites, distant substations, or far-reaching infrastructure points without signal degradation.

• Local Multimode Fiber Integration: Includes 1x 100Base-FX multimode SC port (typically up to 2 km range) for seamless connectivity within local facilities, campus environments, or to existing multimode fiber infrastructure.

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

• Maximum Environmental Durability: Built with IP30-rated metal housing and an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, ensuring reliable performance in the most demanding industrial conditions including extreme temperatures, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.

• Network Design Versatility: The combination of long-haul singlemode and local multimode fiber ports enables diverse network topologies, supporting both ultra-long-distance remote connections and intermediate local fiber links within the same compact device.

Technical Specifications
