The new Profi Line + Switch offers seven Gigabit ports with extremely compact dimensions at an attractive price. Performance and security are top priorities for the new switch, both in network and access security, alongside the various switch functions themselves. This makes it eminently suited for high availability areas, such as industrial automation, traffic information and control systems, as well as energy technology. Applications like Wireless LAN and IP video surveillance profit from the integrated power supply of end devices with PoE+ according to the IEEE 803.3at standard with up to 30 W per port, which the Switch provides on four 10/100/1000Base-T connections.

The switch has two GBE combo ports with 10/100/1000T or 100/1000X SFP slot. These allow a redundant uplink either constructed with copper cables or fiber optic lines. In the event of a line break, the ring protocol ensures continuing availability. The switch itself can be supplied via the RJ-45 uplink port as a powered device with Power-over-Ethernet thus ensuring enhanced Switch availability if the conventional power supply fails.
