Selection Notes

The 6 media module slots let this unit mix electrical, PoE and optical ports on one chassis instead of forcing a fixed port layout, so a panel builder can populate only the media types a project needs and add modules later. The 180 W PoE budget across up to 12 ports covers IP cameras or wireless access points fed straight from the switch, no separate injector. Layer 3 routing is prepared but inactive until a KEY-PLUG XR-500 is fitted. This is the front-port variant; choose the rear-port version where cabinets are cabled from behind. PRP support and the ATEX/IECEx approvals make it suitable for zero-loss redundant networks in hazardous-area installations.
