The ComNet CNFE3FX1TX2C[/M] series is an industrially hardened three-port intelligent switch with light management functionality and an integrated contact closure server. The 100BASE-FX port supports conventional CAT-5e/CAT-6 copper or optical transmission media by selection of the appropriate ComNet SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Module; sold separately) module. A summary fault alarm provides indication via a form c relay in the event of loss of optical link or operating power. The 10/100BASE-TX ports support both auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover for full and half-duplex operation; manual MDI/MDI-X switching is not required. The integrated contact closure server is available with 4 or 8 channels and supports individual user selectable wet or dry inputs. Form A relay outputs feature individual user selection of normally open or normally closed operation via the built-in web GUI. The contact server supports 4 modes of operation including one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and stand-alone use through JSON frames for integration into third party systems. The CNFE3FX1TX2C/M models are DIN-rail or panel-mountable with an internal/self-contained 9 to 36 VDC or 24 VAC power supply and features redundant power inputs for the highest possible reliability.
