Rugged 4-Port Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The SF70460 provides a compact combination of two 10/100/1000Mbps copper Ethernet ports and two 1000Mbps SFP fiber slots for industrial network installations.
Its unmanaged design provides straightforward Ethernet connectivity without requiring network configuration, while the industrial enclosure and protection features are designed for environments where temperature extremes, electrical disturbances, and installation conditions can place additional demands on network equipment.
Gigabit Copper and Fiber Connectivity
The SF70460 combines copper Ethernet and fiber optic connectivity in a four-port platform.
The two RJ-45 ports support:
- 10Mbps Ethernet
- 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
- 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
- Auto-negotiation
- Auto-MDI/MDI-X
The two fiber interfaces accept 1000Mbps SFP modules with LC connectors, providing flexibility for different fiber types and transmission distances.
This configuration makes the SF70460 particularly useful for connecting Ethernet equipment at the network edge while extending communications over fiber.
Flexible SFP Fiber Options
The SF70460 uses interchangeable Gigabit SFP modules, allowing the fiber interfaces to be configured according to the requirements of the network.
VERSITRON's available 1000Mbps SFP configurations include:
- Multimode fiber up to 220 meters
- Multimode fiber up to 550 meters
- Multimode fiber up to 2 km
- Single-mode fiber up to 10 km
- Single-mode fiber up to 20 km
- Single-mode fiber up to 40 km
- Single-mode fiber up to 70 km
- Single-mode fiber up to 100 km
- Single-fiber bidirectional options up to 10 km
- Single-fiber bidirectional options up to 20 km
- Single-fiber bidirectional options up to 40 km
- Single-fiber bidirectional options up to 60 km
- Single-fiber bidirectional options up to 80 km
The SFP module table in the VERSITRON datasheet lists the available Gigabit multimode, single-mode, and single-fiber configurations, all using LC connectors.
The appropriate SFP should be selected according to fiber type, transmission distance, wavelength, and network requirements.
8Gbps Switching Capacity
The SF70460 provides 8Gbps switching capacity, a 4K MAC address table, and a maximum frame size of 9.6K bytes.
The switch uses a non-blocking store-and-forward switching architecture for efficient Ethernet traffic forwarding.
Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Connectivity
The SF70460 is designed as an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, making it appropriate for applications where reliable connectivity is needed without the configuration and administration associated with managed switches.
Auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDI-X simplify connections between compatible Ethernet devices and help eliminate the need for manual cable configuration.
Redundant DC Power
The SF70460 supports dual 9–52VDC power inputs, providing redundant power capability for installations where maintaining network availability is important.
This redundant power architecture provides an additional layer of reliability for industrial network installations.
4KV Ethernet Surge Protection
The SF70460 incorporates 4KV Ethernet surge protection as part of its industrial protection design.
The switch is also designed to meet industrial-rated emission and immunity performance requirements.
These features make the SF70460 well suited to environments where network equipment may be exposed to electrical disturbances.
IP44 Metal Enclosure
The SF70460 is housed in an IP44 metal enclosure with corrosion-resistant construction.
The rugged enclosure is designed for industrial installations and supports DIN-rail mounting, allowing the switch to be installed in control cabinets, equipment enclosures, and other industrial network locations.
Extended Temperature Operation
The SF70460 is designed for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. The same range is specified for storage, with relative humidity from 0% to 95%, non-condensing.
This extended temperature range allows the SF70460 to operate in environments where standard commercial Ethernet switches may not be appropriate.
High-Reliability Industrial Design
The SF70460 has an MTBF greater than 100,000 hours.
Combined with redundant DC power, 4KV Ethernet surge protection, corrosion-resistant construction, an IP44 metal enclosure, and extended-temperature operation, the SF70460 is designed for reliable long-term operation in industrial Ethernet networks.
DIN-Rail Installation
The SF70460 supports DIN-rail mounting, making it suitable for installation inside industrial control cabinets and equipment enclosures.
The switch measures approximately 4.49 × 3.70 × 1.42 inches, or 113 × 94 × 36 mm.
Flow Control and Reliable Data Transmission
The SF70460 supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation and back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation.
These functions help regulate Ethernet traffic and minimize the effects of congestion between connected devices.
