Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switches 
IE-SW-EL16-14TX-2FESFP (Part No. 2682160000) 
1.  Introduction 
Ethernet Switches from Weidmüller  are designed with a very compact housing size and 
are fitted with a robust housing. To ensure reliable, error-free operation, and to prevent 
damage or injury, please read the operating instructions, all safety information provided in 
this document and any other safety information that were supplied with the product. 
2.  Safety notice 
Switch off the electrical power before removing the power connection! 
The device heats up during operation. Allow the unit to cool down or use 
protection gloves when carrying out any work. 
The device may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on the 
product label. Higher voltage than specified will destroy the device. 
The device must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in the Low 
Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and 2014/30/EU. 
Installation, commissioning and maintenance may only be performed by 
qualified electricians. 
Observe the operating instructions. 
  Indoor use and pollution degree II, it must be wiped with a dry cloth for 
clean up the device and label. 
o Utilisation en intérieur et degré de pollution II, il faut l'essuyer avec un 
chiffon sec pour nettoyer l'appareil et son étiquette. 
  Do not block air ventilation holes. 
o Ne bouchez pas les orifices de ventilation. 
  If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, 
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. 
o Si l’appareil est utilise d’une maniere non specifiee par le fabricant, la 
protection qu’il apporte peut se voir diminuee. 
  Shall be mounted in the Industrial Control Panel and ambient 
temperature is not exceed 75 degrees C. 
o Doit être monté dans le panneau de commande industriel et la 
température ambiante ne doit pas dépasser 75 degrés C. 
Intended use 
The device is intended for the realization of communication networks within an industrial 
environment, it is intended to be used in a restricted access location. The device may only 
be  used  within  the scope  of  the specified  technical  data.  The  device  is  intended  to be 
mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. Any other use may 
result in unintentional malfunction and damage. Observing the documentation is part of the 
intended use. 
Environmental conditions 
This equipment is intended to be used in a restricted access location. 
When  planning  the  installation  site  make  sure  that  the  ambient  temperature  during 
operation will not exceed the temperature given in the technical data. 
Also make sure that the air flow will not be compromised by other devices. 
Ensure that the mounted and wired device is not exposed to any mechanical stress. 
FCC compliance 
This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must 
accept  any  interference  received,  including  interference  that  may  cause  undesired 
operation.

9.  10/100Base-T(X) ports 
10.  DIN-rail kit 
5.  Mounting Dimensions 
              (units = mm) 
6.  DIN-Rail Mounting 
Slide the switch onto a DIN-rail and make sure that the switch’s Din-rail clip clicks into 
the rail firmly. 
STEP 1: Insert the top of the 
DIN-Rail into the slot just 
below the stiff metal spring. 
STEP 2: The DIN-Rail 
attachment unit will snap into 
place as shown below. 
To remove the DIN-rail from the Ethernet Switch, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2. 
7.  Grounding Ethernet Switch 
ATTENTION 
-  Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to 
electromagnetic interference (EMI).  
-   the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding 
surface prior to connecting devices. 
-  This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded 
mounting surface, such as a metal panel. 
-  The shielding ground of the RJ45 ports are electrically connected 
to the ground connection (screw).
