Overview
The N-TRON 508FX2-A-ST is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch from the 500 series, engineered for plug-and-play networking in harsh and mission-critical environments. It provides six 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 ports and two 100BaseFX fiber ports with ST connectors, allowing flexible copper–fiber integration in mixed-media automation networks.
Moreover, the switch complies with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards, meets NEMA TS1/TS2 requirements for traffic control systems, and carries ABS Type Approval for marine deployments. In addition, its hardened steel enclosure, redundant 10–30 VDC power inputs, and ultra-wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) ensure reliable performance in outdoor, transportation, and industrial settings.
Therefore, the 508FX2-A-ST is widely adopted in applications requiring rugged, maintenance-free Ethernet connectivity with both copper and fiber options.
