MEN G101 Gigabit Ethernet switch

The G101 Gigabit Ethernet switch comes with a 29 Gb switch matrix and delivers high-speed communication. Specifically designed for rugged mobile communication in harsh environments, the switch conforms to the EN 50155 railway standard.

The device’s 25 Gb Ethernet ports can all be connected to the rear or three can be used on the front, either as three robust M12 connectors or as two RJ45 connectors and a 2.5 Gb SFP interface. This interface can be used as a high-speed uplink via fibre technology.

The switch matrix incorporates different software protocols to ensure high speed and high efficiency, and the large software pool enables various protocols like security, synchronous Ethernet and stability. The product supports IEEE1588v2 on ports 1 to 12 and EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) on all ports.

The switch is fault tolerant and restores itself on its own. If a link is temporarily unavailable, frames are sent via backup/redundant links (spanning a tree protocol/link aggregation), avoiding any data loss. The high bandwidth of the switch matrix, robust design and wide operating temperature of -40 to +85°C make the product suitable for railway applications.
