Main Features and Advantages
Modular and Flexible Design
The Hirschmann MS4128 – L2P stands out with its modular design. All ports are realized through media modules, enabling users to customize the switch according to their specific needs. For example, in a factory with a mix of fiber – optic and copper – based devices, the 4 Combo ports can be configured to use either SFP fiber modules for long – distance, high – speed connections or gigabit twisted – pair connections for shorter – range, cost – effective setups. The ability to expand the number of fast Ethernet ports to 24 via the MB – 2T baseplate provides further flexibility for connecting a large number of devices, such as sensors and actuators in a complex industrial automation environment.
High – Speed Data Transfer
With support for gigabit Ethernet speeds on its Combo ports and 100 Mbit fast Ethernet on the additional ports, the MS4128 – L2P ensures rapid data transfer. In applications where real – time monitoring and control are essential, such as in a power generation plant where data from various sensors needs to be quickly transmitted to the control center for immediate analysis and action, this high – speed data transfer capability is crucial. It reduces latency, allowing for faster response times and more efficient operation of the overall industrial system.
