4-Port Managed Industrial Switch | 2-RJ45 Ethernet Ports, 2-SFP Fiber Ports

Compact Managed Connectivity for Industrial Networks

The SF70460M provides a compact way to connect Ethernet equipment while incorporating both copper Ethernet ports and fiber-optic interfaces in a single industrial platform.

Two 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for local network equipment, while two 100/1000Mbps SFP slots provide flexible fiber-optic connectivity using standard SFP transceivers.

The switch is designed for applications where space is limited but network management, fiber connectivity, and industrial operating performance are still required.

Four Operating Modes for Flexible Network Deployment

One of the primary advantages of the SF70460M is its ability to operate in four different configurations.

Dual Media Converter Mode

The SF70460M can operate as two media converter channels, allowing copper-to-fiber network conversion within a compact industrial platform.

Dual Media Converters with Redundant Fiber Sharing

The switch can support dual media converter operation with redundant fiber sharing, providing an additional fiber path for applications where network resilience is important.

Fiber-to-Fiber Media Converter Mode

The SF70460M can also operate as a fiber-to-fiber media converter, providing flexibility for fiber-based network architectures.

4-Port Switch Mode

In switch mode, the SF70460M operates as a four-port managed Ethernet switch, combining its two copper ports and two SFP fiber interfaces within the same network.

These four operating modes allow the SF70460M to adapt to different network architectures and installation requirements. The four modes are specifically identified in the VERSITRON datasheet.

Gigabit Copper and Fiber Connectivity

The SF70460M provides two 10/100/1000Mbps shielded RJ-45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. The copper ports support Cat5 or higher cabling for distances up to 100 meters.

Two 100/1000Mbps SFP slots support standard SFP transceivers for multimode or single-mode fiber. The SFP interfaces are 100/1000Base-FX compliant and provide flexibility in selecting the appropriate optical module for the network's required speed and transmission distance.

Fiber Connectivity from Short Reach to 100 km

The SF70460M supports a broad selection of VERSITRON SFP modules.

Available options include:

• 100Mbps multimode fiber up to 550 meters
• 100Mbps single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Gigabit multimode fiber up to 550 meters
• Gigabit single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Gigabit single-mode fiber up to 20 km
• Gigabit single-mode fiber up to 40 km
• Gigabit single-mode fiber up to 70 km
• Gigabit single-mode fiber up to 100 km
• Bi-directional single-mode SFPs for selected distances
• CWDM and DWDM modules

The VERSITRON datasheet lists the available SFP modules and their corresponding wavelengths, fiber types, distances, connectors, transmit power, and receiver sensitivity.

Managed Network Functions

The SF70460M provides web-based and network management capabilities for configuring and monitoring the switch.

Management support includes:

• HTTP/HTTPS
• SSH 2.0
• CLI/Telnet
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3
• RMON
• System settings
• Port status and statistics
• Port control
• VLAN
• QoS
• Security
• Spanning Tree
• IGMP
• DHCP
• Firmware upgrades
• 802.1x
• 802.1w
• Configuration backup and restore

These functions allow network administrators to configure ports, monitor network activity, manage VLANs, control traffic, and implement network management and security policies.

Network Reliability and Fault Detection

The SF70460M includes several features designed to improve network reliability and simplify fault detection.

Link Fault Pass Through

Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) allows the switch to help propagate link-status failures through the connected network, making it easier to detect certain fiber or Ethernet link problems.

Redundant Ring Support

When operating in switch mode, the SF70460M supports redundant ring functionality. This allows the switch to be incorporated into network architectures designed for greater path redundancy and resilience.

Power and Link Alarms

The switch provides an alarm function for power failure and port link-down conditions. Its relay interface uses three terminal contacts and supports up to 30VDC/1A or 120VAC/0.5A.

These features make the SF70460M useful in installations where network faults need to be detected quickly.

Industrial Ethernet Performance

The SF70460M supports Gigabit full-wire-speed bridging and forwarding performance and jumbo frames up to 9600 bytes.

The switch provides:

• 8K MAC address table
• 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation
• Back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation
• Auto-negotiation
• Auto-MDI/MDI-X
• 9600-byte jumbo frame support

These capabilities allow the switch to efficiently handle Ethernet traffic while providing management and fiber connectivity in a compact industrial form factor.

Energy-Efficient Ethernet

The SF70460M supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) along with Green Ethernet power-saving functionality.

These features are designed to reduce power consumption during periods of lower network activity while maintaining Ethernet connectivity.

The switch itself has a maximum listed power consumption of 6W at 56V.

Designed for Industrial Environments

The SF70460M is designed for operation in demanding industrial environments, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and a storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

The datasheet also specifies 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing, and lists industrial-environment immunity and emission requirements along with vibration and shock testing.

The compact enclosure measures only 1.65 × 4.17 × 5.51 inches, making the SF70460M suitable for installations where available equipment space is limited.

Flexible Mounting Options

The SF70460M can be installed in several ways depending on the application:

• Stand-alone installation
• DIN-rail mounting
• Panel mounting

This flexibility allows the switch to be installed inside industrial control cabinets, equipment enclosures, telecommunications installations, and other space-constrained environments.

• Industrial automation
• Telecommunications
• Ethernet surveillance systems
