Unmanaged switches for building automation
Phoenix Contact has unveiled its new series of unmanaged REG switches for building automation. Their REG format means that they are specifically designed for use in building distribution boards.

In modern buildings, more and more different communication stations are being integrated into a common Ethernet network, making cabling much easier. Instead of a variety of cables, such as Teflon and coaxial cables or specific control lines, only one Ethernet cable is installed. The new unmanaged REG switches from Phoenix Contact are available to integrate the central node into the building technology.
The devices enable the installation of the unmanaged switches for building technology directly in the building subdistribution. In addition to the standard version with eight Gigabit-capable Ethernet ports (FL SWITCH 1108 REG), Phoenix Contact also offers a version with four standard ports and four PoE ports, which can also supply the connection devices with power at the same time (FL Switch 1104-4POE REG). Modern PoE-powered door intercoms, cameras, or lamps are supplied centrally and integrated directly into the building network.
