Network Switch ROLINE Industrial Switch 7x RJ-45 1x SC unmanaged, full duplex

ROLINE Industrial Switch 7x RJ-45 1x SC unmanaged, full duplex is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch designed for industrial and commercial network segments. It combines seven 10/100Base-T RJ-45 ports with one 100Base-FX SC fiber port to interconnect copper and fiber links. The device implements wire-speed store-and-forward switching and supports IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control and back-pressure for half-duplex, enabling reliable data transfer in small LANs and basic network extensions. The metal housing supports DIN rail mounting and the product accepts a wide DC input voltage for flexible deployment in temperature-critical environments.

Advantages

The switch provides a hybrid copper–fiber interface in a compact industrial form factor, offering wire-speed forwarding and standard flow-control mechanisms for stable communication. Its wide operating temperature range and industrial emission/immunity ratings make it suitable for harsher environments. Low power consumption, dual DC input options and DIN rail compatibility simplify installation in control cabinets and distributed network cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting Ethernet devices within small office or factory LANs
• Linking copper-based switches or devices to a fiber backbone
• Extending network segments in temperature-critical or industrial sites
• DIN rail-mounted control cabinets and distributed automation racks

Key specifications

How to use

Install the switch on a DIN rail or place it on a flat surface according to the available space in your rack or cabinet. Connect the DC power source (7–30 V DC) using the terminal block or the DC power jack and verify correct polarity. Link copper devices to the RJ-45 ports and connect the fiber segment to the SC port using compatible multimode or single-mode fiber as appropriate for your network. The switch operates unmanaged and requires no software configuration; flow control functions operate automatically depending on duplex mode and connected devices.

Recommendations

For stable operation in industrial environments, use a recommended power supply rated for the listed input range and ensure proper grounding of the cabinet. Select fiber type and transceivers that match the distance and attenuation requirements of your installation. Keep ventilation clear around the device and avoid mounting near strong electromagnetic sources to maintain emission and immunity performance.
