Advantech BB-306FX2-ST

The N-TRON® 306FX2 is an unmanaged six port Industrial Ethernet Switch. It is housed in a ruggedized DIN-RAIL enclosure, and is designed for use in industrial data acquisition, control, and Ethernet I/O applications.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The 306FX2 Industrial Network Switch is designed to meet and exceed the most demanding industrial communication requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime.

The 306FX2 provides four RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports, plus two fiber based Fast Ethernet uplink port. All TX ports are full/half duplex capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The 306FX2 auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the four TX port connections and configures itself automatically. The two fiber optic ports utilize industry standard ST or SC duplex connectors and are configured for full duplex operation. Both multimode and singlemode fiber models are available.

The TX ports of the 306FX2 are auto sensing, so there will be no need to make extensive wiring changes due to future upgrades of host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to match network environments.

The 306FX2 supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures.

The 306FX2 is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The product provides a cost effective solution while maintaining the plug & play simplicity of an unmanaged hub.

The 306FX2 can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring data acquisition and control network connections back to a climate controlled environment. The 306FX2 has extended operating environmental specifications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost savings and convenience the 306FX2 can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other industrial equipment.

The unique compact size provides a small footprint, conserving space in the most critical dimension. The 306FX2 can also be panel mounted if desired.

To increase reliability, the 306FX2 includes redundant power inputs. LED's are provided to display the link status and activity of each port, as well as power on/off status.
