Product Description
The EL-100-4 series “Essential Line“ comprises five industrial basic switches for Fast Ethernet. Since they are only 3 cm in width they do not need much space. In case of extremely flat installation space the DIN rail clip can be fixed at the side. Apart from that, they can be used in 19’’ racks by using an additional cover at the front.
