CNGE8MS
8-Port Managed gigabit Switch
v2.0 Sept 2012
The ComNet
™
CNGE8MS is an 8-port Managed Ethernet Switch designed to
reliably operate in harsh, environmentally challenging applications. It features
four (4) 1000BASE-TX and four (4) gigabit combo ports. The four combo ports are
10/100/1000Mbps configurable for either Cat5-e copper, or multimode or single-
mode optical fiber by the use of optional ComNet SFPs for connector type and
distance. Exclusive to ComNet is C-Ring, a feature that protects the network from
interruptions or temporary malfunctions with fast recovery technology. Legacy ring
allows the switch to be used in an existing ring of ComNet X-Ring enabled switches.
Redundant DC inputs are included for uninterrupted operation in the event of a power
supply failure. The electrical ports support the 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet IEEE802.3
protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDi/MDiX features are provided. These
network-managed layer 2 switches are optically and electrically compatible with any
IEEE802.3 compliant Ethernet device. The CNGE8MS is DIN-rail or wall-mountable.
