CNGE2FE8MSPOE2
MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH WITH (8) 10/100 BASE-TX
+ (2) 10/100/1000 BASE-TX/FX COMBO PORTS
AND POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE)
The ComNet™CNGE2FE8MSPOE2 is a hardened Managed Ethernet Switch. It
provides IEEE 802.3af (15W) PoE to eight 10/100BASE-T(X) ports and has two-
gigabit combination SFP or RJ-45 ports. Up to 120 watts of PoE power is available
for distribution across all 8 TX ports. All SFP ports utilize ComNet SFP* modules for
fiber and connector type and distance. The CNGE2FE8MSPOE2 is a redundant switch
offering multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols, C-Ring (recovery time <10ms over
250 units of connection), ComRing, and MSTP/RSTP/STP (IEEE 802.1 s/w/D). This
redundancyfeatureprotectsyourapplicationsfromnetworkinterruptionsortemporary
malfunctions by redirecting transmission within the network. Network management
is supported by eConsole, a powerful, easy-to-use Windows-based utility, as well as
Web-based telnet, and Console (CLI) configurations. This environmentally hardened
switch is designed for direct deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating
environments.

Overview
Introduction
The CNGE2FE8MSPOE2 is a powerful managed industrial Ethernet switch containing many unique
features. These switches can work under a wide temperature range, dusty environment and humid
condition.
CNGE2FE8MSPOE2 supports PoE or Power over Ethernet, a system to transmit electrical power
with data to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable. CNGE2FE8MSPOE2 has 8 X
10/100BASE-T(X) PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) ports that are fully compliant with IEEE802.3af
standard.
WEB-based, TELNET, Console port or other third-party SNMP software can manage the
CNGE2FE8MSPOE2 as well. The switch can be managed by a useful utility called eConsole.
eConsole is powerful network management software. With its user-friendly and powerful interface,
multiple switches can be easily configured at the same time, and switches’ statuses monitored.
