Unmanaged Switches
Unmanaged Switches
Adaptable and universal
Switches are the basic coupling elements in Ethernet 
networks. They connect the Ethernet participants together. 
In an Ethernet network the communication basically 
originates from the participants. The switches connect the 
participants together and enable the communication. 
Unmanaged switches are the simplest active network 
component. They do not need to be congured and are 
therefore very exible. They use the basic standard protocols, 
such as auto-negotiation, auto-crossing, and ow-control and 
can automatically adjust to the different transmission speeds 
or connector wiring.
Unmanaged switches are protocol transparent. Each port on 
the switch creates an individual collision domain. The use of 
twisted-pair cabling with an RJ45 interface or bre-optic 
cable based on the IEEE 802.3 specication interfaces are 
supported by all Weidmüller switches.
