Information About CU2508
The CU2508 is part of Beckhoff’s range of industrial infrastructure components designed to optimize real-time Ethernet communication in automation systems. This 8-port Ethernet port multiplier distributes data streams with minimal latency, enabling deterministic and synchronized data transfer between networked devices. Supporting both 100BASE-TX and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, it allows seamless integration of EtherCAT, PROFINET, and other real-time protocols. The CU2508 is powered via a 24 VDC supply and equipped with diagnostic LEDs for quick network status verification. Compact, durable, and CE/UL certified, it is ideal for network segmentation, real-time data acquisition, and system optimization in industrial environments.
Key Features:
- Eight-Port Network Expansion: Provides eight RJ45 ports for Ethernet-based field devices, ensuring flexible network topologies.
- Real-Time Protocol Support: Compatible with EtherCAT, PROFINET, and other industrial Ethernet standards for deterministic communication.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports both 100BASE-TX and 1 Gbit/s connections for fast and reliable communication.
- Integrated Diagnostics: LED indicators on each port provide link and activity status for easy troubleshooting.
- Compact Industrial Design: Slim 146 × 100 × 30 mm housing suitable for DIN-rail or panel mounting.
- Robust and Efficient: Operates on 24 VDC with low power consumption (250 mA) and passive cooling.
- Wide Environmental Tolerance: Reliable operation from -25°C to +55°C with IP20 protection rating.
- Certified for Safety and Quality: CE and UL approved for global industrial use.
The CU2508 delivers the reliability and precision required for real-time Ethernet communication, industrial data distribution, and automation network infrastructure.
