The MICROSENS MS440207M-G6+ is a managed Gigabit Ethernet installation switch for horizontal installation in standard E2 device boxes. It features six ports, of which four are 10/100/1000T RJ45 connections for connecting end devices such as computers, printers, or IP cameras. The remaining two ports are SFP uplink ports, suitable for connecting to other switches or network devices via fiber optic or copper cables. These ports support dual-speed transmission rates of 100 Mbit/s and 1000 Mbit/s, enabling flexible adaptation to existing network infrastructures. The switch is equipped with an integrated 230VAC power supply, ensuring direct power from the building’s electrical installation. It is designed for use in structured cabling systems, particularly in offices, apartments, or small businesses, where a compact, wall-integrated network connection is required.

Applications

The switch is intended for indoor use where a fixed, concealed network installation is required. It is especially suitable for office and residential applications where multiple end devices need to be connected via a shared network connection. The horizontal installation size of 45x45 mm fits precisely into standard E2 device boxes, allowing seamless integration into existing electrical installations. The integrated power supply makes it independent of external power sources, simplifying installation and reducing cabling.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The switch offers comprehensive management functions accessible via web interface, Telnet, and SNMP. This enables central configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of the device. Optionally, NMP software can be used to further extend network management capabilities. Support for VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allows logical segmentation of network areas, improving security and traffic control. QoS functions (Quality of Service) enable prioritization of data traffic, for example for VoIP or video streaming applications. Integrated security functions protect the network against unauthorized access and unwanted connections. A microSD card is included in the delivery scope and can be used for firmware updates, configuration backups, or log files.

Technology Explained Simply

The four RJ45 ports support Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, sufficient for modern applications such as HD video transmission, fast file streaming, or cloud connections. The two SFP ports allow the use of either fiber optic cables (e.g., for longer distances) or copper cables (for shorter connections), with transmission speeds switchable between 100 Mbit/s and 1000 Mbit/s. The integrated 230VAC power supply ensures reliable power directly from the building’s electrical system, eliminating the need for additional power units. The RS-232 port (via RJ45 connector) enables serial configuration and maintenance, especially for devices requiring console access. The microSD card serves as storage for firmware updates, configuration files, or system logs.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch is compatible with standard E2 device boxes and can be installed horizontally. For mounting in E2 device boxes, a suitable mounting kit is available, consisting of a mounting adapter and a cover frame in RAL9010. This mounting kit enables secure and visually uniform installation. The SFP ports support various SFP transceivers, with exact compatibility depending on the specific modules. Network functions such as VLANs, QoS, and SNMP are compatible with common network management systems.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by inserting the switch into a standard E2 device box in horizontal format. Mounting is done using the integrated fastening system, ensuring secure anchoring. Power supply is provided via the integrated 230VAC power supply, connected directly to the building’s electrical system. Network cabling is done via the RJ45 ports for end devices and the SFP ports for uplink connections. Configuration is performed via web interface, Telnet, or SNMP, with the integrated microSD card used for firmware updates or configuration files.

Operational Advantages

The switch provides a compact, wall-integrated solution for small to medium-sized networks. Management functions enable centralized control and monitoring, while VLANs and QoS enhance network security and performance. The integrated power supply reduces the number of required external devices and simplifies installation. The use of a microSD slot offers flexibility in firmware management and configuration archiving. The horizontal installation size and compatibility with standard E2 boxes ensure seamless integration into existing electrical installations.
