Product Description:

The CU2016 is a 16-port Ethernet switch designed by Beckhoff for connecting various Ethernet devices within a network. It operates at data transfer rates of 10/100 MBit/s making it suitable for industrial automation and office network applications. This switch allows seamless communication between connected devices by efficiently relaying incoming Ethernet frames to the appropriate destination ports. This unit is designed to utilize IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation, which automatically adjusts the connection speed and duplex mode based on the capabilities of connected devices. It boasts a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface with an RJ45 connector that supports fast data transmission.

The CU2016 Ethernet switch can support cables of up to 100 meters, providing extended range to suit various setups and application demands. It is compatible with most industrial systems with a 24 V DC power supply rating and a flexible 18 to 30 VDC voltage capacity. It facilitates easy installation via a 3-pin connector with positive, negative, and protective earth (PE) terminals. This unit has a rated energy consumption of 150 mA that helps to minimize energy requirements without affecting performance. The device comes with two indicators for each port that display activity and link status, allowing users to quickly check the performance of the system.

The CU2016 Ethernet is a reliable Ethernet switch that is CE and UL certified for meeting exceptional performance and safety guidelines. It also features protection against environmental factors per IP 20 demands, ensuring reliable and safe operation in diverse industrial conditions. For optimal performance, the unit should be operated in conditions where the ambient temperature falls between 0 to +55°C. When not in use, the module can withstand storage temperatures of -25 to +85°C.
