3.1 SCALANCE X414-3E Basic Device
Overview
The SCALANCE X-400 product line consists of modular Industrial Ethernet
switches, media modules and extenders. 100 Mbit and 1000 Mbit technology is
supported for different transmission media (twisted pair, fiber-optic) and increased
port requirements. The main areas of application are high-performance plant net-
works. Due to its modular structure, the X-400 product line is designed to meet fu-
ture demands and can be adapted to meet the requirements of a particular task.
The SCALANCE X414-3E switch has two integrated gigabit Ethernet twisted pair
ports (100 or 1000 Mbps) to interconnect multiple switches. The nodes are con-
nected over 12 fast Ethernet ports integrated in the switch (10 or 100 Mbps).
The integrated redundancy manager allows fast medium redundancy both for gi-
gabit Ethernet and for fast Ethernet even in large networks.
To set up optical gigabit networks, both integrated gigabit Ethernet ports can be
converted to fiber-optic cable over a 2-port gigabit Ethernet module. Module vari-
ants for multimode (up to 750 m) and single mode (up to 10 km) are available.
