AL100 - AL110 • Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch • 4 to 12 Port M12-X • 1 to 3 Port RJ45
DIN-Rail Bracket or Wall Mount Plate


The AL100 is a five to fifteen port industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch box. The self managed solution is provided with up to twelve M12-X connectors, and up to three RJ45 jacks. The AL100 is available for DIN rail or wall mount. The M12-A power input accepts 9-57VDC. As an option the box can be equipped with a terminal block power connector.

The AL100 is based on the Marvell® 88E6390 Ethernet switch. Supported speeds on the M12-X and RJ45 ports are 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T.
As AL110, the switch box is also available with a mezzanine CPU card (AC370) for additional protocol support such as AVB/TSN, and Wi-Fi wireless communication.
