1232304

Overview

The Phoenix Contact model 1232304 is a managed TSN Ethernet switch belonging to the FL SWITCH 2000 series. It features sixteen RJ45 ports supporting data rates of 10, 100, and 1000 Mb/s. The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply with a minimum input of 12 V DC and a maximum of 57 V DC. It draws 2.5 A during operation. The device functions within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +60 °C. Physical dimensions are 125 mm in width, 85 mm in depth, and 130 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Supports Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) protocols for deterministic communication
• Provides managed switching capabilities for industrial network control
• Integrates sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports via RJ45 connectors

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring synchronized data transmission
• Factory floor networking infrastructure
• Process control environments demanding high reliability

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the manufacturer part number 1232304 to ensure receipt of the FL SWITCH TSN variant rather than standard models. Confirm voltage requirements align with the 12-57 VDC specification before installation. Check for updated firmware availability from official channels to maintain compliance with current industrial standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when deterministic latency and time synchronization are critical for the application. The managed feature set allows for advanced network monitoring and configuration. Ensure the physical space accommodates the 125x85x130 mm form factor and that the power supply can deliver the required 2.5 A at 24 VDC continuously.

Part Context

This switch is part of the FL SWITCH 2000 product family from Phoenix Contact. The series focuses on robust connectivity solutions for harsh industrial environments. The TSN capability distinguishes it from standard unmanaged or basic managed switches by enabling precise timing over Ethernet.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Phoenix Contact documentation for direct cross-references. Verify compatibility of mounting styles and pinouts if substituting with other managed switches in the same series.
