Part Number: 32056-2

The RocketLinx 8108F is Comtrol’s 8-port Fast Ethernet industrial switch featuring a 2.0Gbps Packet Switch engine with packet forwarding and filtering mechanisms to meet industrial communications standards. It provides packet forwarding capabilities to handle 64-1552 byte long packet sizes in two priority queues to optimize data forwarding performance. Broadcast storm filtering and flow control functions ensure data delivery free of traffic congestion.

For applications prone to interference or requiring extended distance network coverage, the RocketLinx ES8108F implements Single-mode (30KM) transceivers.

For installation in hazardous or industrial environments, the RocketLinx ES8108F is equipped with two redundant power inputs, features wide input voltage ranges, and operates within a broad -25° to 70°C temperature range.

For ease-of-maintenance, the RocketLinx ES8108F has one alarm relay for port link and power events to assist engineers with on-site notifications.

RocketLinx Reliability
The RocketLinx ES8108F has dual power inputs, and can also operate on 12V-48V. Dual power inputs and built-in reverse power polarity protection are designed as the redundant power system to ensure power continuity. With the 1.5KV Hi-Pot isolation protection, CE/FCC/UL regulatory approvals, and a 5-year warranty, the RocketLinx ES8108F is the ideal switch solution for industrial and hazardous environments.
