The IE-SW8-ECO switching hub is designed for the Industrial Automation environment (IP20). Like all
Ethernet switches from Weidmüller, it features non-blocking (full wire-speed) operation. It divides an
Ethernet network into five collision domains – “bridging” data links to create larger network diameters
than possible with repeating hubs.
Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps – controlling data flow with
the PAUSE function in full-duplex links or with the backpressure method in half-duplex links.
Port assignments are learned by reading Ethernet frames and logging the source addresses to a table.
Throughput is improved by restricting traffic to those ports party to a data exchange – while other data
is simultaneously exchanged on other ports.
Store-and-forward operation is implemented and broadcast, multicast, or unicast transmissions are re-
ceived by all ports.
The IE-SW8-ECO has eight Auto-MDIX ports for attaching local devices. In addition to a power LED,
each port has one LED showing link/activity/rate and one showing duplex status. The unit operates
from a wide range of low-voltage AC or DC power.
The IE-SW8-ECO is provided with a writable label for easy identification of the remote device attached
to each cable.

Dear Weidmueller Customer, purchasing our product gives you the opportunity to
return the device to Weidmueller at the end of its service life. The EU Directive
2002/ 96 EC (WEEE) regulates the return and recycling of waste electrical and
electronics equipment. In the Business to Business sector (B2B), manufacturers
of electrical equipment are obliged as of 13/08/05 to take back and recycle free of
charge electrical equipment sold after that date. After that date, electrical equip-
ment must not be disposed through the "normal waste disposal channels". Electri-
cal equipment must then be disposed of and recycled separately. All devices that
fall under the directive must feature this logo.

Weidmueller offers you the possibility of returning your old device to us at no extra
