Selection Notes

The XP208PoE EEC packs its 8 ports into M12 connectors with an IP65 housing, so it mounts directly in the field without a control cabinet, unlike the RJ45-based XC/XB series that need IP20 enclosures. The 4 PoE-capable ports (30 W per port, 120 W total budget) let it power M12-connected cameras or WLAN access points from the switch itself, removing separate injectors. Choose the EEC variant over the standard XP208 when the installation needs the extended -40 to +85 degC 10-minute transport rating on top of the normal -40 to +70 degC operating range.

Applications

M12 field-mounted PROFINET switching for machine-level networks and outdoor/vibration-exposed installations that need to power PoE devices such as IP cameras or WLAN access points directly at the switch.
