CNGE2FE16MS
MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH WITH (16) 10/100TX +
(2) CONFIGURABLE 10/100/1000TX / 100/1000FX PORTS
v2.01 Jan 2012
The ComNet™ CNGE2FE16MS Managed Ethernet Switch provides robust transmission
of (16) 10/100 BASE-TX and (2) 10/100/1000TX or 100/1000FX combo ports, of gigabit
Ethernet data. Unlike most Ethernet switches, these environmentally hardened units
are designed for direct deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating
environments, and are available for use with either conventional CAT-5e copper or
optical transmission media. Diverse media selection allows for easy implementation
of point-to-point, linear add-drop, drop-and-repeat, star, or true self-healing ring and
mesh network system architectures. The 16 electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/ MDIX features are
provided for simplicity and ease of installation. 2 ports are 10/100/1000 configurable
for copper or fiber media for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber, selected
by optional SFP modules. These network managed layer 2 switches are optically
(100/1000 BASE-FX) and electrically compatible with any IEEE 802.3 compliant
Ethernet devices. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical
or optical adjustments are ever required. The CNGE2FE16MS incorporates LED
indicators for monitoring the operating status of the managed switch and network.
These units are DIN-rail or wall mountable.

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.

Overview
Introduction
To create the reliability in your network, the CNGE2FE16MS comes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network protocol, X-Ring II, which provides users with an easy way to establish a
redundant Ethernet network with ultra high-speed recovery time of less than 10ms. Also, the
extended MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ensures that the CNGE2FE16MSwill continue to
operate until a Gigabit network infrastructure has been established without requiring any extra
upgrade costs.
The CNGE2FE16MS also comes equipped with 2 Gbps (gigabit) Ethernet combo ports; each
combo port consists of a copper and a SFP sockets. The combo ports can be used for the
application of wideband uploading and especially long distance transmission by connecting the
SFP socket to fit the field request flexibility.
Heavy Duty
Designed with metal housing, the CNGE2FE16MS provides the rugged construction that complies
with IP30 standards.
Dual Power Inputs
The redundant power input design for the CNGE2FE16MS provides a backup power solution.
With both the power inputs supplied, if a failure occurs the other supply will be activated to keep
the system continually operating. When one of the power inputs fails, the P-Fail LED indicator
illuminates and sends an alarm through the relay output as notification.
Flexible Mounting
The CNGE2FE16MS can be mounted on the wall or on a standard DIN rail, so it is suitable for any
space-constrained environment.
Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature range of the CNGE2FE16MS is between -40 and +75ºC. With such a
wide range, you can deploy the CNGE2FE16MS in some of the harshest industrial environments.
Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make solving any challenges easy. Users can identify the status of the switch by
observing the LED indicators with the definition table.
N-Key Quick Installation
An optional accessory is offered for the CNGE2FE16MS for quick installation especially when you
are planning to do routine tasks. Users can simply plug the accessory known as N-Key into the
console port for system configuration backup/restoration.
