CONTEC Unveils New Industrial Switching HUBs

CONTEC CO., LTD., headquartered in Osaka, Japan, has announced the launch of two new industrial switching HUBs, the SH-9005FT and SH-9008FT. Set to be available from December 2, 2025, these products are tailored to meet the needs of compact installations without sacrificing functionality.

Key Features of SH-9005FT and SH-9008FT

1. Compact Flat Design: The new design allows for installation in tight spaces, making it suitable for control panels and equipment. The SH-9005FT measures 50(W) × 110(H) × 24.5(D) mm while the SH-9008FT is slightly larger at 68(W) × 110(H) × 24.5(D) mm.

2. Compatibility with Various Standards: Both models comply with leading network standards, including IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T), IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX), and IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T). They also support Auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation, making them versatile for different networking needs.

3. Wide Range DC Power Input: Supporting a power range of 8 to 54VDC, the HUBs provide dual power input capability which ensures continued operation even in case of power supply issues. Notably, the devices are designed to operate safely even with reverse wiring of power sources.

4. Exceptional Environmental Resistance: The metal casing, which promotes excellent heat dissipation, enables the HUBs to function effectively within a broad temperature range of -40 to 70 degrees Celsius. This durability allows for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments where most traditional HUBs would fail.

5. Versatile Mounting Options: The SH-9005FT and SH-9008FT can be easily installed either on a wall or mounted on a 35mm DIN rail using the provided bracket. This added flexibility helps in various installation scenarios.

Target Applications

The SH-9005FT and SH-9008FT are designed for a diverse range of applications across many industries. Their robust features make them ideal for use in:

- Automotive manufacturing facilities
