MTL 9466-ET IS Ethernet Isolator

The 9466-ET 10/100Mbps Managed Layer 2 Ethernet Switch allows the interconnection of other 9460-ET Series networking modules via its 5x ports, it also enables an Ethernet network to cover a greater distance, either using Cat5e cable or fibre-optic for longer spans, this is down to the low latency ‘store and forward’ mechanism integral to the switch which ensures that the stringent timing associated with Ethernet is maintained. With the 9466-ET switch, each connection is effectively a‘point-to-point’ network segment unlike the older generation hubs that were simple ‘dumb’ repeaters – these needed to impose a limit on overall

network length to ensure proper collision detection, this limit is overcome by using the 9466-ET.

The 9466-ET switch can also distribute power to compatible devices connected to each of its five ports via the RJ45 Cat5e cables (PoEx), this eliminates the separate power supply cable to the device simplifying installation and maintenance.

The default mode of operation is a 5 port unmanaged switch with auto negotiation. However the onboard EEPROM memory can be configured via the serial RS232/TTL port either in the Safe Area,using a PC; or in the Hazardous Area using the 9461-ET Ethernet Gateway as its host processor.Features such as Programmable Rate Limiting, VLAN support Port Mirroring and Forced Speed and

Duplex settings may be configured in this way if required. The 9461-ET module can also perform its usual function of a serial communications gateway (eg: serial Modbus to Ethernet conversion) whilst giving ‘online’ access to the managed features of the 9466-ET switch over the Ethernet network,including the MIB counters for each port.
