Scalance X (Switch) series of industrial Ethernet switches are a scalable line of switching technology with managed and unmanaged operation, flexible port and media configurations, and a design to minimize downtime. Each Scalance X industrial Ethernet switch features a robust, highly reliable structural integrity, a fanless construction and the ability to operate at temperatures between -4° to +158°F (-20°C and +70°C) to ensure the network keeps running longer with fewer failures and miscommunications.

The Scalance line of industrial Ethernet switches provide users with several benefits including: lower cost of ownership due to easy configuration with built in web-based management and fast commissioning; extremely high speed Ethernet and Gigabit rings with fast redundancy (<0.3 seconds); signaling contact, SNMP access; and the peace of mind that comes from the reliability of standard redundant point-to-point connections and power supply. The systems also come equipped with an impressive link down feature and detailed cable diagnostics.
