Antaira LMX-0802-M-T 8-Port Fast Ethernet Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch with 2x 100FX SC Multi-mode Fibre and -40 to 75 °C

Cabinets across a utility compound, factory site or water works are often unheated and too far apart for copper, so the switch has to handle both the fibre and the weather. The LMX-0802-M-T is the SC, multi-mode, extended temperature build in the Antaira LMX-0802 series: an eight-port managed switch with two 100Base-FX fibre ports, rated -40 °C to 75 °C.

It has six 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and two 100Base-FX multi-mode fibre ports with SC connectors and fixed optics. Switching is store-and-forward on a 1.6 Gbps fabric with an 8K MAC table and a 4 Mbit buffer. The Layer 2+ firmware covers port, MAC, protocol and private VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, LACP, LLDP, RMON, sFlow, DDMI and Modbus TCP, with static routes and NAT. Security includes 802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, ACLs, IP source guard and ARP inspection. The two fibre ports suit an ITU-T G.8032 ERPS ring with recovery in under 50 ms, and STP, RSTP and MSTP are supported.

Power arrives on a 12 to 48 V DC input on a terminal block, and the switch draws 15 W. A power lost warning and relay trigger drive a relay contact rated 24 V DC, 1 A, and the switch can also send automatic warnings by e-mail. Overload current and reverse polarity protection are built in, and Antaira gives the switch high EFT and ESD protection with EMS testing to IEC 61000-4-2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. Set-up is through the web console, Telnet or CLI, with USB configuration backup.

The LMX-0802-M-T sits in an IP30 metal case for DIN rail or wall mounting. It is UL 61010-1 certified, carries FCC and CE marks, is RoHS compliant and comes with Antaira’s 5-year warranty. The LMX-0802-M is the same switch rated -10 °C to 65 °C, the LMX-0802-S3-T uses single-mode fibre and the LMX-0802-ST-M-T has ST connectors. We supply and specify the LMX-0802 range, and where you ask we can pre-configure IP addressing, VLANs and ERPS ring settings before dispatch.
