Phoenix Contact Ethernet-APL Switches
Phoenix Contact Ethernet-APL Switches enable safe and efficient data transmission in the process industry. These switches integrate sensors into the Ethernet network using a two‑wire Ethernet connection. The Ethernet-APL switches bridge large distances, supporting trunk lengths of up to 1,000m, and spur lengths of up to 200m. These switches provide a high port count, offering a total of 12 or 24 APL ports and also communicate with PROFIBUS PA devices. The Ethernet-APL switches ensure immediate availability of field-level data.
