Units withstand extreme environmental conditions and temperatures from -40 to +75°C. Series includes several versions ranging from all twisted-pair 8, 16, and 24-port models to mix of twisted-pair and fiber optic models of same port count in aluminum enclosure. Each port has LED showing link, activity, and data rate by color.



Original Press Release:



EISB B-Line Switching Hubs Designed with High-Port Density for Minimal Panel Space Requirements



Downers Grove, Illinois (December 15, 2004)-Contemporary Controls introduces the high-performance EISB B-Line of Industrial Ethernet unmanaged switches that provide up to 24 ports of connectivity in a 1.75" of DIN-rail space In the same physical space, the switches can be scaled down to 16 or 8 ports depending upon user-application to enable reliable access to a growing network.

The EISB B-Line series is designed for convenient DIN-rail installation and solid performance in applications which require higher port count with minimal DIN-rail usage and the ability to withstand the rigors of extreme environmental conditions (temperatures between -40° to +75°C).

This series is available in several models from all twisted-pair 8, 16 and 24-port models to a mix of twisted-pair and fiber optic models of the same port count in a rugged,
aluminum enclosure. Both multimode (1300 nm) and single-mode (1300 nm) fiber optics are supported.

Troubleshooting indicators include one power LED. Each port has an LED showing link/activity/data rate by color: green for 100 Mbps and yellow for 10 Mbps. Flashing indicates the port activity.

The units can be powered from either wide-range, low-voltage AC (8-24 VAC) or DC (10-36 VAC) power sources. Redundant power connections are provided to accommodate back-up schemes.

Each EISB model is shipped with a DIN-rail clip installed. If direct mounting to a sub-panel is desired, the DIN-rail clip is removed and the attached mounting ears can be extended to provide panel mounting.
