Schneider TCSESU043F1N0 Ethernet Switch 5 Ports

TCSESU043F1N0 Unmanaged Ethernet Switch

Product Introduction

The TCSESU043F1N0 belongs to the ConneXium product range. It is an Ethernet TCP/IP unmanaged switch designed for straightforward network expansion. This model provides four 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX copper ports. In addition, it includes one 100BASE-FX fiber optic port. This combination effectively extends your network reach. The switch operates without complex configuration. Therefore, it is ideal for small automation cells and remote I/O connections. Moreover, this device ensures reliable data transfer between field devices. It supports transparent communication as per the Transparent Ready concept.

Key Technical Features

The TCSESU043F1N0 offers essential and reliable network functions. First, it supports automatic negotiation of speed and duplex mode. This simplifies integration with various endpoint devices. Next, it features Auto MDI/MDX on all copper ports. Consequently, you do not need crossover cables for connections. The switch also performs automatic polarity change. Thus, it reduces installation errors significantly.

Furthermore, it handles storage and re-routing of received data efficiently. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted data flow. For fiber connectivity, it uses a Duplex SC connector. Meanwhile, the copper ports use shielded RJ45 connectors. Therefore, it provides excellent flexibility for different media types. The Schneider switch supports CAT 5E twisted shielded pair cables. It also works reliably with multimode optical fiber. Specifically, the fiber attenuation is 11 dB for 62.2/125 µm fiber. For 50/125 µm fiber, attenuation measures 8 dB.

Power and Electrical Specifications

The power supply design is both robust and highly flexible. Its rated supply voltage is 24 V DC. However, it accepts a wide range from 9.6 to 32 V DC (SELV). This flexibility allows seamless use with various power sources commonly found in factories. Power consumption is only 3.9 W. Consequently, it operates with high energy efficiency and low heat generation. The electrical connection uses a removable 3-way connector. For this reason, wiring and maintenance tasks become much simpler.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The TCSESU043F1N0 is built for reliable operation in demanding conditions. Its ambient temperature range is 0 to 60 °C. Relative humidity can be 0 to 95% without condensation. This ensures consistent performance in various factory environments. The device has an IP30 protection degree. Thus, it is protected against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm. Its compact dimensions save valuable panel space. Specifically, it measures 25 mm wide, 114 mm high, and 79 mm deep. Product weight is just 0.12 kg. For this reason, this lightweight design facilitates easy mounting on DIN rails.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting the unmanaged switch is simple and quick. It is designed for standard 35 mm DIN rail installation. The compact 25 mm width is a major advantage in crowded cabinets. Indeed, it allows high-density mounting alongside other devices. Local signalling helps with diagnostics and troubleshooting. One LED indicates the fiber port state and activity. Another LED shows the power supply status clearly. Additionally, each copper port has its own activity LED. There is also a dedicated LED for data rate (10 or 100 Mbit/s). Therefore, this provides immediate visual feedback on network status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I connect this switch to a managed network?
Yes, absolutely. The TCSESU043F1N0 is an unmanaged plug-and-play device. It connects seamlessly to any managed network infrastructure without requiring additional configuration.

2. What is the distance limit for fiber optic connections?
The maximum distance depends on your fiber and transceivers. With multimode fiber, it typically supports up to 2 km. Please consult your specific transceiver specifications for precise limits.

3. Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this model does not support PoE. It is a standard Ethernet switch for data transmission only. You will need external power for connected devices.

4. How many switches can I connect together?
The Schneider TCSESU043F1N0 supports unlimited cascading. You can connect as many switches as needed to expand your network. However, consider network performance when designing large topologies.

5. Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?
No, it is rated IP30 and has a temperature range of 0 to 60 °C. Therefore, it is designed for indoor industrial control cabinets only. Additional protection would be needed for outdoor environments.
