Siemens 6GK5008-0GA10-1AB2 SCALANCE XB008G 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Siemens 6GK5008-0GA10-1AB2 SCALANCE XB008G is an unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switch with 8 RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, powered from a 24 V DC supply (19.2-28.8 V) drawing up to 0.52 A. It is rated IP20, PROFINET conformity class A, and supports Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP).

Selection Notes

As an unmanaged switch, the XB008G has no VLAN, port-mirroring, or diagnostic web interface - pick a managed SCALANCE X-series switch instead if the network needs segmentation or SNMP monitoring; this variant is for straightforward star or line topology expansion where plug-and-forward is enough. ATEX, UKEX, IECEx, and CCC-Ex approvals extend its use into classified hazardous areas that a non-Ex-rated switch could not enter, and PRP support lets it participate in a redundant network ring without a separate media-redundancy protocol license. The 0.188 kg weight and 45 mm width keep the panel footprint small for an 8-port gigabit device.

Applications

Fits small star or line Ethernet topologies in control cabinets, including hazardous-area installations (ATEX/IECEx/CCC-Ex zones) needing gigabit connectivity without managed-switch complexity.
