This Tripp Lite switch delivers Ethernet connectivity to network devices in industrial applications and allows them to communicate over the network. Eight auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports send data only to the devices designated to receive it, which improves the efficiency and potential throughput of the network.The NFI-U08-2 adds 10/100 Mbps Ethernet capacity to your industrial and commercial applications, such as factories, construction sites, supply rooms, warehouses and junction boxes without temperature control. You can share large bandwidth-intensive files, such as CAD drawings and videos, improving efficiency and cutting costly downtime. The industrial-grade switch with its rugged high-strength case withstands vibration, shock and free fall. It can also operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 degrees to 167 degrees Fahrenheit.This network switch requires little or no configuration before use. LEDs indicate when the switch is powered on and which Ethernet ports are showing activity. The NFI-U08-2 supports MAC address auto-learning and auto-aging for efficient routing, as well as automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection for plug-and-play functionality. IEEE 802.3x flow control allows smooth transmission of large files.The open-type device may be DIN mounted using the pre-installed rail clip, which mounts firmly to any standard 35 mm DIN rail. A 2-pin 12– 48VDC terminal block supplies power input. Device power shall be supplied by 61010-2-201 R/C power with LPS (Limited Power Source).The NFI-U08-2 is compliant with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA), which makes it eligible for GSA (General Services Administration) Schedule and other federal procurement contracts.
