Siemens 6GK5005-0GA10-1AB2 SCALANCE XB005G 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

The Siemens SCALANCE XB005G (6GK5005-0GA10-1AB2) is an unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switch with 5x RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, IP20-rated for 24V DC panel power. It draws up to 0.44A and supports Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) network operation alongside PROFINET Conformity Class A. Its box-style enclosure mounts on a 35mm DIN rail or wall, rated for -10 to 60°C, and its supply input carries its own 0.6A/60V fuse.

Selection Notes

As an unmanaged switch, the XB005G has no VLAN, port mirroring, or ring-redundancy configuration — PRP support here means it can sit in a Parallel Redundancy Protocol network as an end device, not that it manages ring topologies itself. Pick a managed SCALANCE model instead when ring redundancy or per-port diagnostics are required. PROFINET Conformity Class A confirms it meets PROFINET's basic real-time requirements for a PROFINET line, adequate for standard I/O traffic but not isochronous real-time (IRT) motion applications. The IP20 rating and box design suit cabinet mounting rather than direct field exposure.

Applications

Builds small star or line Industrial Ethernet topologies inside a control cabinet — connecting PLCs, HMIs, and I/O stations over 10/100/1000 Mbit/s links, including PRP-redundant network segments and ATEX/IECEx-rated hazardous-area panels.
