Introduction

Kontron's TRACe-NET xM8P2G-1 is an 8 PoE port fully managed Layer 2 industrial Ethernet switch with 2 Gigabit uplink ports designed for the onboard transport industry and has EN50155 approval.

The xM8P2G-1 has considerable flexibility with the extensive management facilities expected from a high-performance switch. TRACe-NET Ring technology with its <10 ms recovery even when there are up to 250 switches, can give you unique protection against network interruptions or temporary malfunctions.

There is a set of bypass ports which allow the main network to remain connected in the event of a local power failure.

The xM8P2G-1 can be configured using our TRACe-NET View browser and Windows utility, enabling you to manage and monitor all of the industrial switches on the network including making TRACe-NET switches compatible with other vendors proprietary redundant ring technologies.

The xM8P2G-1 is ideal for the transports environments with its dual redundant power supplies, configurable system, compatibility with other switches and its IP40 housing. In addition, the wide temperature range from -40 to 70°C enables it to be used in a wide range of environments.
