Siemens SCALANCE XB108-2 Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch, 8 RJ45 + 2 SC Multimode Fiber, DIN Rail

The Siemens SCALANCE XB108-2 is a robust unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch designed for reliable network connectivity in harsh environments. With 8 RJ45 ports (10/100 Mbit/s) and 2 SC multimode fiber ports (100 Mbit/s), it enables flexible integration of copper and fiber segments. The switch supports redundant 24 V DC power supply, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP compliance, and DIN rail mounting, making it ideal for factory automation and process control applications.

Advantages
