Phoenix Contact expands its Smart Managed Compact Switch line of Ethernet products with the introduction of two Fast Ethernet variants. The new SMCS models provide 10/100 Mbps connectivity. The fiber model, with its two Gigabit fiber interfaces, opens the network possibility of Gig fiber uplink/ring capability with Fast Ethernet downstream operation. These additional variants are suited to operate equally well within Profinet and EtherNet/IP installations, as well as standard Ethernet applications.

The two new SMCS models offer the following features:
- Integrated Web server enables easy access to switch functionalities and settings
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support for switch diagnostics and configuration
- Available memory plug options enable saving switch configuration and Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) Ring Manager
- Multiple configuration choices: Web browser, SNMP or serial connection
- RSTP and fast ring redundancy for recovery times as low as 100 ms
- Mode button selection for default EtherNet/IP & Profinet configurations
- MRP client or manager capability
- IGMP Snooping and Query for multicast applications and EtherNet/IP requirements
- VLAN support to allow logical network segmentation
- Port security, statistics and diagnostics
