Supporting gigabit Ethernet signal transmission, it can extend the communication distance of a single segment to 100 meters (twisted pair) or 2000 meters (fiber optic, requiring optical modules). Through multi-level cascading, it can further expand the network coverage range and meet the communication needs of large industrial plants, long-distance pipelines and other scenarios.

It has an IP67 protection level and the shell is made of high-strength die cast aluminum alloy material. After special sealing treatment, it can effectively resist dust intrusion, water immersion, and oil corrosion. It is suitable for harsh environments with high dust, humidity, and water such as workshop floors, outdoor equipment areas, and underground mines. At the same time, the module adopts an anti electromagnetic interference design internally, which can effectively shield the electromagnetic radiation generated by high-power motors, frequency converters and other equipment in industrial sites, ensuring that signal transmission is not interfered with.
3. Wide temperature operation and stable operation
Adopting industrial grade components and wide temperature circuit design, the working temperature range covers -40 ℃~75 ℃, which can adapt to extreme temperature environments such as high-temperature metallurgical workshops, low-temperature refrigerated warehouses, outdoor extreme cold and heat, and can operate stably without the need for additional temperature control equipment. The module is equipped with overheat protection and voltage fluctuation adaptive circuit, which can automatically adjust the working state when the ambient temperature is too high or the input voltage fluctuates, avoiding equipment damage and ensuring communication continuity.
4. Flexible port configuration and compatibility
It is equipped with two gigabit Ethernet ports and one SFP optical fiber slot, which supports flexible conversion of electrical signals and optical signals, and can realize seamless connection between twisted pair and optical network to meet networking requirements of different transmission media. Compatible with IEEE 802.3 series Ethernet standards, capable of working with various industrial controllers from GE PLC、HMI、 Industrial switches and third-party mainstream industrial communication equipment are seamlessly compatible, allowing for quick access to existing industrial networks without the need to modify network protocols.
5. Convenient installation and maintenance
Adopting a dual installation design of wall mounted and rail mounted, the installation method can be flexibly selected according to the on-site installation conditions. It is compatible with standard 35mm DIN rails and various industrial equipment brackets, and the installation process is simple and fast. The front of the module is equipped with clear LED status indicator lights, including power indicator lights, port communication indicator lights, signal strength indicator lights, etc. Staff can intuitively judge the device's operating status, port connection status, and signal quality through the indicator lights, and quickly troubleshoot communication faults.
6. Low power consumption and high reliability
Adopting low-power chips and energy-saving circuit design, the power consumption during normal operation is less than 5W, effectively reducing the energy consumption cost of industrial networks. The internal circuit adopts redundant design, and the key components have fault tolerance. The mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 500000 hours, and it can operate stably in industrial scenarios for 24 hours a day, reducing equipment maintenance frequency and downtime losses.

Instructions for use
When selecting, the compatibility should be determined based on the transmission rate of the communication network, transmission medium (twisted pair/fiber optic), transmission distance, and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, protection requirements). If fiber optic transmission is used, matching SFP optical modules (single-mode/multi-mode) should be used.
Before installation, it is necessary to check whether the appearance of the equipment is intact and whether the seals are damaged, in order to avoid affecting the protective performance due to transportation damage; The installation location should be far away from high-temperature heat sources, strong electromagnetic interference sources, and areas susceptible to mechanical shock, ensuring good ventilation.
3. When wiring, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between the positive and negative poles of the power supply and the network signal line, ensure that the wiring is firm, and avoid false connections that may cause abnormal equipment power supply or communication interruption; When connecting optical fibers, they should be gently plugged and unplugged to avoid contamination or damage to the fiber optic connectors. After connection, unused optical ports should be protected with dust caps.
After the device is powered on, it is necessary to confirm whether the power supply, port connection, and signal transmission are normal through the status indicator light; If there is a communication failure, it can be gradually investigated by replacing the transmission medium, checking the optical module, testing the signal strength, etc. If necessary, a network tester can be used to assist in diagnosis.
5. During use, it is necessary to regularly check the sealing condition of the equipment, clean the surface dust, and avoid dust accumulation that affects heat dissipation; In low or high temperature environments, it is necessary to confirm that the equipment is in stable working condition. If the indicator light flashes abnormally or the equipment heats up severely, it should be promptly powered off for inspection.
6. In case of equipment failure, authorized after-sales service personnel from GE should be contacted for testing and maintenance. It is strictly prohibited to disassemble the equipment on your own to avoid damaging the sealing structure or internal circuits, resulting in ineffective protective performance or complete damage to the equipment.
