BRS40-8TX/4SFP – All-Gigabit TSN Managed DIN Rail Switch by Hirschmann

The Hirschmann BOBCAT BRS40-8TX/4SFP is a compact all-Gigabit managed industrial DIN Rail switch providing 12 ports in a 73 x 138 x 115 mm housing, combining eight 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 copper ports with four SFP slots accepting 100 or 1000 Mbit/s fiber modules. Part number 942170009, it is engineered for space-constrained installations where both Gigabit copper connectivity to local devices and flexible fiber uplinks to backbone infrastructure are required within the same compact unit. The SFP slots support single-mode, long-haul, and multimode transceivers, giving engineers full flexibility in linking the switch to wider plant or campus networks. As part of the Hirschmann BOBCAT series, the BRS40-8TX/4SFP supports IEEE 802.1Qbv Time-Sensitive Networking for deterministic real-time Ethernet, alongside HIPER-Ring and MRP (IEC62439-2) redundancy, RSTP, LACP, IGMP snooping, QoS prioritization, and comprehensive VLAN management. Industrial protocol support spans PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, IEC61850 MMS Server, and Modbus TCP. Security features include 802.1X, RADIUS, secure boot, signed firmware, and DoS prevention. The fanless PC-ABS housing operates from 0 to +60°C, drawing 11 W from dual redundant 12–24 VDC inputs. Management is via USB-C, HTML5, CLI, and SNMP v1/v2/v3. The BRS40-8TX/4SFP is ideal for machine builders and automation engineers who need copper-plus-fiber port flexibility in a minimal DIN Rail footprint.
