The SCALANCE XC100-4OBR optical bypass relays are ideally suitable as ballast in Industrial Ethernet networks in linear and ring topologies with data transfer rates of 100/1000 Mbit/s. They are used for uninterruptible connection and disconnection of SCALANCE X switches.

• Uninterruptible connection and disconnection of network nodes by means of integrated optical relays for multi-mode and single-mode fiber-optic networks
• Suitable for use in extended networks (e.g. in wind farms, pipelines, or large chemical plants) thanks to low optical attenuation
• Rugged plastic enclosure in SIMATIC S7-1500 format, with installation options on standard mounting rail, and SIMATIC S7-300/S7-1500 mounting rail in different installation positions
• Rugged, industry-standard node/network connections using SC FO interfaces
• Redundant voltage infeed and monitoring of large voltage range (12 V DC, 24 V DC, 48 V DC)
• Diagnostics on the device by means of LEDs (bypass function, configuration, power supply)
• Fault signaling contact for signaling switching operations
• Digital input contact for remote function check of the bypass relay
