CWFE8MS/DIN
INDUSTRIAL GRADE MANAGED
ETHERNET SWITCH WITH (8) 10/100TX PORTS
V2.0 – March 2011
The ComNet CWFE8MS/DIN Managed Ethernet Switch provides transmission of 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet data.
These units are available for use with conventional CAT-5e copper transmission media. Up to 8 electrical ports
are available for easily implementing point-to-point, linear add-drop, drop-and-repeat, star or true self-healing
ring and mesh network system architectures. The electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps (10/100 BASE-TX)
Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol. Auto-negotiating and auto- MDI/MDIX features are provided for simplicity and ease
of installation. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever
required. The CWFE8MS/DIN incorporates LED indicators for monitoring the operating status of the managed
switch and network.

FCC Warning
This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class-A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. It may cause
harmful interference to radio communications if the equipment is not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class-A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
