9-Port Unmanaged Industrial Switch, 8-Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 Port , 1-SFP Port

Rugged 9-Port Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The SF70960 provides eight Gigabit-capable copper Ethernet ports and one 1000Mbps SFP fiber interface in an industrial unmanaged switch designed for reliable network connectivity in demanding environments.

The unmanaged design provides straightforward Ethernet connectivity without requiring switch configuration, while the industrial construction provides additional protection for installations exposed to temperature extremes and electrical disturbances.

Eight Gigabit Ethernet Ports and One Fiber Uplink

The eight RJ-45 ports support 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet, allowing the SF70960 to connect a wide range of network devices, including legacy Fast Ethernet equipment and Gigabit Ethernet devices.

The additional 1000Mbps SFP slot provides a fiber optic uplink for extending the network beyond the limitations of copper Ethernet.

This configuration makes the SF70960 a practical choice when a network requires multiple copper Ethernet connections along with a fiber connection to another network segment.

Flexible Gigabit SFP Connectivity

The SF70960 uses interchangeable 1000Mbps SFP modules, allowing the fiber interface to be selected according to the network's fiber type and transmission distance.

Available VERSITRON Gigabit 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 configurations up to 10 km
• Single-fiber bidirectional configurations up to 20 km
• Single-fiber bidirectional configurations up to 40 km
• Single-fiber bidirectional configurations up to 60 km
• Single-fiber bidirectional configurations up to 80 km

The available SFP configurations are listed in the VERSITRON datasheet, including multimode, single-mode, and single-fiber options using LC connectors.

Note: Actual transmission distance depends on the SFP module selected and the installed fiber infrastructure.

21Gbps Switching Capacity

The SF70960 provides 21Gbps switching capacity, an 8K MAC address table, and support for maximum Ethernet frame sizes up to 9.6K bytes.

Its non-blocking store-and-forward switching architecture is designed to efficiently process Ethernet traffic between connected devices.

Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation

The SF70960 is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, making it appropriate for applications where reliable network connectivity is needed without the configuration and administration associated with managed switches.

The copper ports support auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDI-X, simplifying installation and allowing connected Ethernet devices to establish the appropriate connection speed and configuration automatically.

Reliable Ethernet Flow Control

The SF70960 supports:

• IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation
• Back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation

These functions help regulate Ethernet traffic and reduce the effects of temporary network congestion.

Redundant DC Power

The SF70960 supports dual 9–52VDC power inputs, providing redundant power capability for industrial network installations where network availability is important.

Using redundant power inputs can provide additional protection against a single power-source failure.

4KV Ethernet Surge Protection

The SF70960 incorporates 4KV Ethernet surge protection as part of its industrial protection design.

The switch also provides industrial-rated emission and immunity performance for demanding operating environments.

IP44 Metal Industrial Enclosure

The SF70960 is housed in an IP44 metal enclosure with corrosion-resistant construction.

The industrial enclosure is designed for field and equipment installations where a ruggedized switch is preferred over standard commercial Ethernet equipment.

Extended Temperature Operation

The SF70960 is designed for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. The same range is specified for storage.

The datasheet specifies 0%–95% relative humidity, non-condensing, providing additional environmental flexibility for industrial installations.

High-Reliability Industrial Design

The SF70960 has an MTBF greater than 100,000 hours and specified power consumption of 5.5 watts.

The combination of redundant DC power, Ethernet surge protection, corrosion-resistant construction, extended-temperature operation, and industrial-rated emission and immunity performance makes the SF70960 suitable for long-term industrial network deployments.

DIN-Rail Installation

The SF70960 supports DIN-rail mounting, making it suitable for installation inside industrial control cabinets, equipment enclosures, and other field network locations.

The switch measures approximately 6.14 × 4.53 × 2.36 inches, or 156 × 115 × 60 mm.
