The Hirschmann RSPE30-8TX/4C-2A is a compact, fanless managed Fast and Gigabit industrial Ethernet switch from Hirschmann’s RSPE30 series, built on a uniquely modular platform that starts with 12 base ports — eight 10/100 Fast Ethernet TX ports and four Fast/Gigabit Ethernet combo RJ45/SFP ports — and expands to up to 28 ports through two dedicated media module slots, each accepting eight Fast Ethernet ports. This scalability makes the RSPE30 an excellent long-term investment for growing automation networks where port count requirements evolve over time. The redundancy portfolio covers MRP as manager and client, HIPER-Ring, HIPER-Ring over Link Aggregation, MSTP, Sub Ring Manager, Redundant Network Coupling, and RSTP with guards, while the advanced switching suite includes QinQ, DiffServ classification, IP subnet-based VLANs, MAC-based VLANs, and IGMP snooping per VLAN. Management capabilities extend to OPC-UA Server, ITxPT Module Inventory, DNS Client, and Service Discovery, supporting IIoT and transportation sector integrations. Security encompasses 802.1X multi-client authentication, LDAP, Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP Snooping, time-based ACLs, and MAC Authentication Bypass. Native support for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 MMS Server enables direct integration with all leading automation platforms. Dual 24–48 VDC power inputs, cUL61010 safety approval, CE, FCC, and RCM certifications, and an MTBF exceeding 2.2 million hours at 25°C confirm exceptional reliability for manufacturing, water treatment, and utility network deployments.
