The OpenRail MSx0 family of industrial DIN Rail Ethernet switches from Hirschmann is designed to give you the greatest flexibility with regard to number of ports, port speeds, transmission media, and connectors.

First decide how many ports, and what speed, you will need. Then just plug in the relevant media modules. All media modules can be attached to any backplane.

All ports on the MS20 series are 10/100Mb/s (RJ45), and 100Mb/s (fibre).

The MS30 series supports a maximum of 2 Gigabit ports.

The MS41 (PowerMICE) series offers a maximum of 4 Gigabit ports.
