Hirschmann M4-FAST 8-SFP Media Module

Technical Specifications

• Media module for MACH 4000 10/100 BASE-FX with SFP sockets
• 8 x 100 BASE-FX, with M-FAST SFP transceiver
• Use with compatible Hirschmann MICE basic modules and MS series modular switches
• Plug-in module for Hirschmann MICE modular switch systems

The Hirschmann M4-FAST 8-SFP is an industrial Fast Ethernet media module designed for the MACH4000 managed Ethernet switch platform. M4-FAST 8-SFP offers eight 100BASE-FX SFP ports for compatible M-FAST SFP transceivers supporting multimode or single-mode fiber links. Direct backplane installation into the MACH4000 switch expands network capacity while ensuring reliable optical connectivity for industrial Ethernet.

The M4-FAST 8-SFP receives operating power directly from the MACH4000 backplane and requires no separate power supply. It supports modular network expansion and enables users to select appropriate SFP transceivers according to transmission distance, fiber type, and application requirements. Integrated diagnostic LEDs provide continuous indication of power status, link activity, data transmission, full-duplex operation, ring port status, and LED self-test, simplifying system commissioning and maintenance.

Core Features

Fiber Connectivity

The M4-FAST 8-SFP adds eight Fast Ethernet fiber interfaces to a MACH4000 switch via standard SFP slots. Users install M-FAST SFP transceivers to establish multimode or single-mode fiber links based on specific transmission distances and network topologies. This module enables future network expansion within existing industrial Ethernet infrastructures.
