SSL20-8TX – 8-Port All-Copper Unmanaged DIN Rail Switch by Hirschmann, a Belden Brand

The Hirschmann SSL20-8TX is an eight-port all-copper unmanaged industrial Fast Ethernet switch from the SPIDER III family, providing eight auto-crossing, auto-negotiating, auto-polarity 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports for straightforward plug-and-play Ethernet connectivity in industrial automation, process control, machine networking, and building management applications where a higher copper port count is required without the complexity of managed switch configuration. Identified by product code SPIDER-SL-20-08T1999999SY9HHHH and part number 942132002, this model is the eight-port all-copper standard-temperature variant within the compact SPIDER III SL range. Each port supports twisted-pair cable runs up to 100m in line and star topology configurations, and store-and-forward switching ensures data integrity across all eight ports. Operating at just 1.5W maximum and 63mA at 24V DC, the SSL20-8TX is exceptionally energy efficient for an eight-port DIN rail switch, making it suitable for panel installations where heat dissipation is limited. Power is provided via a 3-pin terminal block accepting 12/24V DC at 9.6V to 32V DC. The operating temperature is 0°C to +60°C, with storage to -40°C. The MTBF is 2,218,157 hours under Telcordia methodology. The compact IP30 DIN rail plastic housing measures 38 x 102 x 79mm at just 150g, slightly wider than the five-port SL compact models to accommodate the additional copper ports. Industrial EMC immunity covers EN 61000-4-2 ESD at 4kV contact, EN 61000-4-3 at 10V/m, EN 61000-4-4 burst at 2kV power line, and EN 61000-4-5 surge at 2kV. CE, FCC Class A, EN61131, and cUL 61010-1/61010-2-201 approvals apply. A 60-month guarantee is included. Available from Recab, your Nordic partner for Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switch solutions.
