General
Number of Ethernet ports	4
Installation dimension	45x45 mm

The MICROSENS MS440219M-G6+ is a Gigabit Ethernet installation switch for vertical mounting in standard 45x45 installation ducts. It features four 10/100/1000T Ethernet ports for connecting end devices and one SFP uplink port, which supports both 100 Mbit/s and 1000 Mbit/s (dual speed). Additionally, a further 10/100/1000T downlink port is integrated, which can be used to connect to another switch or router. The device is equipped with an integrated 230VAC power supply, enabling direct connection to the building’s mains power supply. The manageable control is performed via web interface, Telnet, SNMP, and optionally via the NMP software, allowing central network management and monitoring.

Applications

The switch is designed for use in industrial and commercial networks, particularly in buildings with structured cabling systems. It is suitable for integration into distributed networks in office buildings, production halls, or in building automation, where reliable and high-performance data transmission is required. The vertical mounting design allows flexible installation in standard installation ducts without additional mounting aids.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The switch supports VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to logically segment networks and improve security and management. QoS (Quality of Service) functions enable prioritization of data traffic, for example for VoIP or video transmissions, to minimize latency. The integrated security function provides protection against unauthorized access and misuse of network resources. The dual-speed SFP interface allows flexible connection to existing networks, either at 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s, depending on requirements and available infrastructure.

Technology Explained Simply

The 10/100/1000T ports support Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates and are compatible with standard network cables (Cat 5e or higher). The SFP port allows the use of SFP transceivers, which can operate with fiber optic cables (single-mode or multimode) or copper cables. The dual-speed function of the SFP port means that the port automatically adapts to the speed supported by the connected device (100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s). The integrated 230VAC power supply ensures stable power without requiring an external power supply unit. The manageable control via web, Telnet, and SNMP enables configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics of the switch over the network.

Compatibility and Accessories

To extend the reach and flexibility of the switch, SFP transceivers can be used. These include, for example, an SFP GbE transceiver 1.25 Gbit/s SX multimode 850 nm, an SFP FE transceiver 155 Mbit/s FX multimode 1310 nm, or an SFP GbE transceiver 1.25G LX single-mode 1310 nm with a range of 10 km. These modules enable connection via fiber optic cables and are suitable for use in larger networks or over longer distances. The transceivers are equipped with DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring), enabling monitoring of physical parameters such as temperature, voltage, and signal strength.

Mounting and Installation

The switch is designed for vertical mounting in standard 45x45 installation ducts. Installation is performed without additional brackets or fastening materials, as the device is directly inserted into the duct and secured in place. Power supply is provided by the integrated 230VAC power supply, which connects directly to the building’s mains power. The connection cables (Ethernet and power cables) are routed through the designated openings in the housing.

Operational Advantages

The switch offers high bandwidth through the Gigabit Ethernet ports and the flexible uplink connection via SFP. The manageable control enables centralized network management, making maintenance and fault diagnosis more efficient. Support for VLANs and QoS ensures structured network organization and optimized data transmission. The integrated power supply reduces the number of external components and simplifies installation.
