Industrial Switch ROLINE 21.13.1153 6x RJ-45 2x ST unmanaged

The ROLINE Industrial Switch 21.13.1153 is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch designed for industrial environments. It provides six 10/100Base-T RJ-45 ports and two 100Base-FX ST fiber ports, supports DIN-rail mounting and operates over a wide temperature range for use in temperature-critical installations. The device offers wire-speed store-and-forward switching and is built to meet industrial emission and immunity requirements.

Advantages

This switch supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation and back-pressure flow control for half-duplex, ensuring reliable data transmission under varying network conditions. It accepts a wide DC input voltage (7–30 V DC) and consumes up to 6.5 W, while offering both terminal block and DC jack (6.3 mm/2.0 mm) power input options. Its rugged design and extended operating temperature range (-20 °C to +70 °C) make it suitable for harsh industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control networks
• Transport and surveillance systems
• Factory floor and process control environments
• Enclosures and cabinets requiring DIN-rail mounting

Key specifications

• Ports: 6 × 10/100Base-T (RJ-45), 2 × 100Base-FX (ST)
• Switching method: Store-and-forward, wire speed
• Flow control: IEEE 802.3x (full-duplex), back-pressure (half-duplex)
• Power input: 7–30 V DC via terminal block or DC jack (6.3 mm/2.0 mm)
• Power consumption: 6.5 W (max.)
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +70 °C
• Mounting: DIN-rail

How to use

Mount the switch on a compatible DIN rail inside the control cabinet or enclosure. Connect copper devices to the RJ-45 ports and fibre links to the ST ports as required. Provide DC power using a suitable supply (7–30 V DC) via the terminal block or the DC power jack. No configuration is required for basic connectivity because the unit is unmanaged; connected devices will communicate at wire speed with flow control handling duplex conditions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation choose a DC power supply that meets the voltage range and provides sufficient current; the manufacturer recommends using power supply model 21.13.1226. Ensure fibre connectors and copper cabling comply with industrial installation standards and keep the device within the specified temperature range.
