RLH 3+2 SlimLine DIN Mount Ethernet Fiber Switch

RLH 3+2 Port, Hardened

Ethernet Fiber Switch

3+2 PORT SLIMLINE DIN MOUNT

Introduction

The RLH 3+2 Port SlimLine Ethernet Over Fiber switch is

a hardened, DIN mountable multifunction switch that

supports 10/100M Ethernet communications over fiber

optic cable. Fiber optics not only provide the long

distance Ethernet transmission capability up to 74 miles

(120km), but also provide immunity to EMI/RFI and

transient surges.

The switch has 3 copper 10/100M ports and 2 fiber optic

100Base-FX multimode or single-mode ports. The two

fiber ports allow daisy-chaining of multiple switches,

using fiber to create multiple TP access points, extend a

network connection, connect to another RLH Ethernet

Fiber switch or any 100Base-FX device.

It is DIN rail mountable, and housed in a rugged

aluminum alloy enclosure that requires only 34mm of rack

space. It features convenient network status LEDs, auto

negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X.

Key Features

• Ideal for critical, high voltage, remote or un-manned

locations that must remain operating 24/7/365

• Compatibility with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T UTP, 100Base-TX, and

100Base-FX Devices

• RJ45 UTP ports with 10/100 auto-negotiation

• MDI-II/MDI-X auto detection

• Extends network span up to 1.2 miles (2km) on multimode and

up to 74 miles (120km) on single-mode ﬁber

• Dual ﬁber ports permit daisy-chaining and expandability

• Environmentally hardened to operate in -40˚F to +167˚F

(-40˚C to +75˚C) environments

• DIN rail mount

• Covered by a 5 year warranty

General Safety Practices Intended Audience This guide is intended for use by knowledgeable telco/network installation, operation and repair personnel. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this guide is accurate. However, due to constant product improvement, specifications and information contained in this document are subject to change without notice.
PAGE 3
Guidelines for handling terminated fiber cable • Do not bend fiber cable sharply. Use gradual and smooth bends to avoid damaging glass fiber. • Keep dust caps on fiber optic connectors at all times when disconnected. • Do not remove dust caps from unused fiber. • Keep fiber ends and fiber connectors clean and free from dust, dirt and debris. Contamination will cause signal loss. • Do not touch fiber ends.
PAGE 4
Applications Network equipment in high voltage areas can be at risk due to Ground Potential Rise (GPR). A copper network cable referenced to a remote ground can become a path for high voltages during a ground fault. Use of all-dielectric fiber optic cable instead of copper completely eliminates the presence of a remote ground, which dramatically increases safety of personnel and reliability of equipment.

Installation Prior to installation: • • • Check for shipping damage Check the contents to ensure correct model and fiber type Have a clean, dry, DIN rail or wall mount installation environment ready Required for installation: • 12~36VDC local power source Note: To maintain high voltage isolation, units at each end must be powered from separate isolated power sources.
