Unmanaged switches Discover the robust and reliable unmanaged switches from Phoenix Contact. Our FL SWITCH 1000 and 1100 series for DIN rails feature versatile connection options and easy operation for automation applications. The FL SWITCH 1800 and 1900 series with a 19" design enable the connection of up to 24 network devices. They are ideal for use in data centers and control rooms.

The 1100 series features versions for building automation in the DIN rail-mount format in accordance with DIN 43880. These versions are ideal for space-saving installations in building distribution boards. The standard version has eight Gigabit Ethernet ports (FL SWITCH 1108 REG). There is also a version with four standard ports and four PoE ports (FL SWITCH 1104-4POE REG). This version can supply devices with power at the same time.

A unique mounting accessory allows the FL SWITCH 1000 and 1100 series of devices to be mounted flat on the DIN rail. As a result, the switches can also be used in small or flat control cabinets where space is at a premium. You are free to choose the outlet direction of the connections.

This not only makes the switches very flexible to use, but the smaller number of product variants also helps reduce your inventory costs.

The Power over Ethernet (PoE) versions in the 1000 series can supply up to eight end devices with power. They can also transmit data via the same Ethernet cable at the same time. Selected models also include SFP ports, which provide additional flexibility depending on the distance requirements.

Ethernet switches connect the various network devices in Ethernet-based networks. In general, there are two types of Ethernet switches: unmanaged switches and managed switches. In contrast to unmanaged switches, managed switches are configurable and provide a number of options for device configuration and diagnostics. Unmanaged switches, on the other hand, are not configurable and are therefore generally more cost-effective and can be used without network technology expertise.

No, an unmanaged switch usually does not support VLAN functionality. VLANs require the ability to segment and manage networks, which is only possible with managed switches. Managed switches provide the necessary configuration options for creating and managing VLANs.
