About GECKO 8TX

The GECKO 8TX managed switch is an 8-port Ethernet switch from the Lite product line that has been designed and manufactured by Hirschmann. The GECKO 8TX Lite managed switch does not have a fan for cooling itself down, but it can operate safely in a temperature range of -40 to 60 degrees Celsius in harsh environments. The switch’s storage and transport temperature range is from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity rating for the GECKO 8TX Lite managed switch for operation, storage, and transport is 5 to 95% without condensation. The environmental protection rating for this managed switch is IP 30. It is meant to be mounted on a DIN Rail along with its terminal block, and both pieces of equipment are easy to install with their “plug-and-play” features.

The Hirschmann GECKO 8TX Lite Ethernet managed switch needs to be configured before it can be used because it is a managed switch, but it is designed to be easy to configure and to install. The GECKO 8TX Lite managed switch uses DC voltage to operate, and its power is supplied by its terminal block. This switch normally uses 12 to 24 Volts DC, but the widest voltage range that it can work in safely is from 9.6 to 32 Volts DC. The GECKO 8TX Lite managed switch can be installed in any industrial star or line Ethernet topology and it can use twisted pair cables that are up to 100 meters long to make connections with its 8 ports. These 8 ports all support the auto-crossing, auto-polarity, and auto-negotiation functions.
