Large number of ports, high transmission rates, support for fiber-optic and copper cables and Power over Ethernet transmission: The SCALANCE X-400 layer 2 switch offers more flexibility for your network– and provides a solution to the growing demands on your communications network.

 

SCALANCE X-400 layer 2 switch and Port Extender in detail

Operational from -40° to +70° with data transfer rates in the Gigabit range: With our SCALANCE X-400 layer 2 network switch you benefit from full performance when building your industrial networks. Thanks to the optional layer 3 switching function, the network can be built specifically for relevant particular application. With the corresponding port extenders, you can expand the number of ports of the basic devices up to 24 ports.

​

SCALANCE X-400 layer 2 switches let you design networks in the control level and ensure maximum availability. Thanks to the scalability of the basic unit and the optional layer 3 switching function, the network can be built specifically for relevant particular application or extended at any time. Its comboports permit electrical or optical networking, even during operation (hot swappable). Managed layer 2 switches in the SCALANCE X-400 family are closely based on the design of the SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers, from the lettering on the controls to the structure of the rail mounting.

Port Extender

Thanks to their modular architecture, SCALANCE X-400 layer 2 network switches allow for tool-free expansion with port extenders. The following port extenders are available to extend the basic devices to a maximum of 24 ports: 

• Port extender PE408: eight additional RJ45 ports

• Port extender PE400-8SFP: eight additional SFP slots

• Port Extender PE408PoE: eight additional RJ45 ports with PoE according to IEEE 802.3at Type 2 (suitable SCALANCE power supplies available separately)
