The Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH GHS 12G/8-L3 2700787 is a robust Phoenix Ethernet Gigabit Switch engineered for advanced Layer 3 network segmentation in industrial environments. Equipped with 4 SFP ports, it supports 1000 Mbps full duplex transmission and fiber communication up to 80 km, depending on the selected SFP module. The switch features a DIN rail mounting design, screw-type terminals, and a wide operating voltage range of 18.5 to 30.2 V DC, enabling easy integration into control cabinets and modular networks.
Its housing is built for endurance and is rated IP20 with resistance to vibration (5g, 150 Hz) and temperature fluctuations from -20°C to +55°C. The intuitive LED panel displays detailed operational data such as power status, alarm, link/activity, speed/duplex, and diagnostics, including digital inputs (DI1, DI2) and voltage status for external sensors. This enhances visibility for real-time monitoring and ensures operational confidence. The typical current consumption is 800 mA, scalable up to 2.7 A depending on the configuration. With an extended MTTF and compliance to EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, it is a long-term solution for mission-critical installations. For other industrial-grade switches, visit Phoenix Contact.
With Layer 3 switching capabilities and fiber uplink support, it is often deployed as a central backbone device in SCADA systems, PLC networks, and remote IO communication layers. The digital input monitoring feature (DI1, DI2) and external sensor supply (UI) make it more than a standard switch—it serves as an intelligent gateway between machine-level and enterprise-level networks. Maintenance engineers appreciate its robust diagnostics, while students working in automation labs gain valuable hands-on exposure to advanced industrial networking concepts.
For industrial Ethernet setups requiring gigabit speed, fiber uplinks, diagnostic intelligence, and secure architecture, Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH GHS 12G/8-L3 is a dependable choice.
