Introduction
8-port Ethernet Switch with IP67 protection class
The CU2608 Ethernet Switch offers eight d-coded M12 Ethernet ports. Switches relay incoming Ethernet frames to
the destination ports. In full duplex mode, they prevent collisions.
They can be used universally in automation and office networks. Mounting can be carried out alternatively with two
central 4 mm screws or via two diagonal placed 3 mm screws.
The CU2608 meets the special requirements of real-time-capable Industrial Ethernet solutions through several
outstanding features:
• compact design in IP67 plastic housing
• eight d-coded M12 sockets
• 10/100 Mbaud, half or full duplex, with automatic baud rate detection
• cross-over detection: automatic detection and correction of crossover and straight-through Ethernet cables
• clear, quick diagnosis, 1 LED for each Ethernet port
• easy on-site installation
