Hirschmann RS20-1600L2S2SDAU | 16-Port Industrial Switch | Long Haul & Standard SM Fiber | 14x RJ45

The Hirschmann RS20-1600L2S2SDAU is a versatile 16-port unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch designed for complex network topologies that require both extended distance connectivity and reliable local device integration. This hybrid fiber-copper switch combines a long-haul fiber optic port for remote connections with a standard single-mode port for flexible backbone linking, making it suitable for distributed industrial networks with varying distance requirements.

Key Features and Product Highlights

• Dual Fiber Uplink Versatility: Features 1x 100Base-FX Long Haul single-mode SC port for extended distance links (typically up to 80 km) and 1x 100Base-FX standard single-mode SC port (typically up to 26 km), providing flexible options for both remote and intermediate connections.

• High-Density Copper Access: Equipped with 14x 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, offering comprehensive connectivity for field devices such as PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and IP cameras.

• Rugged Industrial Design: Built with IP30-rated metal housing and an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions including dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

• Network Design Flexibility: The combination of long-haul and standard fiber ports enables diverse network architectures, supporting both point-to-point remote connections and intermediate backbone links within the same device.

• Industrial Reliability Features: Includes dual redundant 24V DC power inputs and high immunity to electromagnetic interference, ensuring continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
