Perle IDS-305F-CMD2-XT - Industrial Managed Ethernet Switch

The IDS-305F is a 5 port Managed Ethernet Switch that can operate in industrial environments providing advanced performance and enabling real-time deterministic network operation. Four 10/100/1000-Base-T Ethernet ports are available for networking Gigabit and Fast Ethernet devices. One 100Base-X fiber connection is available to extend Fast Ethernet operating distances over fiber.

In industrial plants, where high levels of electromagnetic interference ( EMI ) is a common phenomenon, utilizing fiber is critical. EMI can cause data corruption over copper-based Ethernet links. However, data transmitted over fiber optic cable is completely immune to this type of noise ensuring optimal data transmission across the plant floor.

Perle Industrial-grade Ethernet Switches are designed to stand up to extreme temperatures, surges, vibrations, and shocks found in industrial automation, government, military, oil and gas, mining and outdoor applications.

With over 28 models, the Perle IDS-305F offers a choice of connectors, fiber types, temperature support and operating distances.

The simple Plug and Play installation available in Perle's Fast Setup feature gets your Ethernet devices networked immediately. The familiar Command Line Interface9 (CLI ), via in-band Telnet or the out-band serial console port,will be appreciated by CCNA ( Cisco Certified Network Associate ) and CCNP ( Cisco Certified Network Professional ) trained engineers.

The PRO feature set in the IDS-305F is ideal for enterprise-grade level environments where additional extensive security and network integration functionality is required.

• AAA ( Authentication, Authorization, Accounting )security protocols: RADIUS and TACACS+
• Secure management sessions via SSH, SNMPv3, Telnet and HTTPS
• Management Access Lists (ACL) by IP address and IP Port number
• Password Strength Checking
• IEEE 802.1x Authentication and Port Security for protection of user access ports
• Optimize the performance and intelligence of the network with Advanced Protocols: LLDP, GVRP, Voice VLANs, MSTP, GMRP, IPv4 IGMP Snooping and IPv6 MLD Snooping

The IDS-305F can be managed with an IPv6 address and supports a comprehensive set of management functions, such as P-Ring, management VLAN, QoS, RMON, N:1 port mirroring and local alert log.

Hardened to provide superior reliability in -10 to 60°C, these are rugged fan-less switches. In addition, every component on every industrial (XT) model has been designed and tested to handle operating temperatures between -40 and 75C.
