Industrial Ethernet - Secure, fast and economical

The new SFN switches extend the product range of the successful switches from Phoenix Contact. The rail-mountable 5 and 8-port devices are space-saving with their narrow housing design.

High performance in copper and FO has as high a priority in the product development as the security of the devices against unauthorized LAN access. All ports can be easily secured mechanically against unauthorized access.


The new SFN switches


  • 5-port standard switches for 10/100 Mbps in copper and FO
  • 8-port standard switches for 10/100 Mbps in copper and FO
  • 8-port standard switches for gigabit networks in copper and FO



Power over Ethernet (PoE) - Unique in the industrial environment


For the first time, the industry-capable Power over Ethernet modules of the product family Factory Line enable the common transmission of power and data in the industrial environment via an Ethernet connection (LAN). Terminal equipment can thus be connected inexpensively and quickly. A separate power supply is no longer necessary.



PROFINET goes FO


For interference-free and floating networking, fiber optics are the first choice. And what could be better than when the less expensive polymer and HCS fiber is combined with a simple fast connection system. With the new FO converters FL-MC, complex calibration can be dispensed with thanks to the integrated FO path diagnostics. The signal quality is displayed, continuously monitored and is available as a 4-way switching output.
