Siemens 6GK5116-0BA00-2AB2 SCALANCE XB116 16-Port 10/100 Mbit/s Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

Siemens 6GK5116-0BA00-2AB2 is a SCALANCE XB116 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch with 16 RJ45 ports at 10/100 Mbit/s, a redundant 24 V AC/DC power input, and PROFINET conformance class A. It is built for setting up small star and line topologies, with LED-based diagnostics and no configuration steps required before commissioning on the network.

Selection Notes

The redundant 24 V AC/DC input distinguishes this from single-supply switches: use it when the cabinet has two independent 24 V feeds and switch uptime must survive the loss of either one. PROFINET conformity class A confirms it is validated for PROFINET line and star topologies without added configuration, so it drops into an existing PROFINET segment as a plug-and-play extension. Choose the higher-port-count variant in the same switch family instead when 16 ports are insufficient for the station, since this XB116 and its larger sibling share the same electrical design and certifications.

Applications

Unmanaged distribution switching for PROFINET/Ethernet field cabinets, hazardous-area installations rated for Zone 2/22 (ATEX/IECEx/CCC-Ex), and star or line topology expansion at the edge of a plant network.
