The SCALANCE Industrial Ethernet switches with a rugged metal housing (IP30) are optimized for mounting on a standard rail and an S7-300 DIN rail. Direct wall mounting in different positions is also possible. Due to the housing dimensions that correspond to those of the SIMATIC S7-300, the devices are very well suited for integration into an automation solution using S7-300 components.

The SCALANCE X005 switch is equipped with:

• Supply voltage 1 x 24 V DC
• A row of LEDs for displaying status information (power, link status, data communication)
• 5 x 10/100BaseTX, RJ45 ports:
  automatic detection of the data rate (10 or 100 Mbit/s), with autosensing and autocrossover function for connecting IE FC cables via IE FC RJ45 Plug 180 over distances up to 100 m
