100 Series Industrial Ethernet Switches
The 100 Series Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switches support high speed layer 2 switching between
ports. This series of switches are housed in a ruggedized aluminum enclosure, and provide Category-5
compliant 10/100-BaseT connections for high performance network design, and hub/repeater upgrades.
All fiber products utilize the IEEE compliant SC or ST duplex connectors for fiber optic communications.
All 10/100Base-TX ports utilize the RJ45 shielded connectors.
The 102MC/MCE is a two-port unmanaged media converter that converts 10/100BaseTX copper to
100BaseFX full duplex fiber.
The 104TX, 105TX and 108TX are affordable and share a small footprint. Each switch is capable of auto
negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications. The five-port 105TX-SL offers the same
functionality and is distinguished by its ultra-slim enclosure.
The 105FX/FXE has 4 ports similar to the 104TX, plus additional multimode fiber optic up-link port(s), capable
of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for the FXE models
without the use of repeaters.
The 106FX2/FXE2 has 4 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 2 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC
connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for
the FXE models without the use of repeaters.
The 110FX2/FXE2 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 2 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC
connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for
the FXE models without the use of repeaters.
The 111FX3/FXE3 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 3 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC
connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for
the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

the FXE models without the use of repeaters.
The 114FX6/FXE6 has 8 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 auto sensing ports and 6 100BaseFX ports with ST or SC
connectors, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications for the FX models, and up to 80 Kilometers for
the FXE models without the use of repeaters.

To install the plastic clip units to 35mm
industrial DIN rail, place the top edge of the
included mounting bracket on the back of the
unit against the DIN rail at a 15° angle as shown.
Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away
from you) until it snaps into place.
To remove the plastic clip units from the
35mm industrial DIN rail, place a flat head
screwdriver into the release clip found at the
bottom of the unit, and apply downward force on
the clip until it disengages from the bottom of the
unit from the DIN rail. Rotate the bottom of the
unit towards you and up at an approximate 15°
upward angle to completely remove the unit.
To install the metal clip units to 35mm
industrial DIN rail, place the top edge of the
included mounting bracket on the back of the
unit against the DIN rail at a 15° angle as shown.
Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away
from you) until it snaps into place.
To remove the metal clip units from the 35mm
industrial DIN rail, pull forward on the unit until
it disengages from the bottom of the DIN rail.
Rotate the bottom of the unit towards you and up
at an approximate 15° upward angle to
completely remove the unit.
