Description
Product Overview
The Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B is an industrial-grade, hardened Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for mission-critical deployments in harsh environments. As part of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s (ALE International) OmniSwitch M-Series, this compact yet robust device delivers Layer 2 switching with enterprise-class features in a DIN-rail or wall-mountable form factor. Engineered for reliability, the Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B features 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports and 2x 100/1000BASE-X SFP slots for fiber uplinks, enabling flexible connectivity between field devices and control networks. Its fanless design, extended temperature tolerance, and immunity to vibration/EMI make it ideal for industrial automation, transportation, and energy applications where standard switches would fail. The Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B supports advanced traffic management, VLANs, and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for network resiliency, serving as a cornerstone for building scalable, fault-tolerant Industrial IoT (IIoT) infrastructures.

Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B
Main Features and Advantages
Extreme Environment Resilience: The Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B operates flawlessly in temperatures from -40°C to +75°C without fans, using convection cooling to prevent dust intrusion. Its hardened metal casing withstands vibration (IEC 60068-2-6) and shocks common in manufacturing plants or rail systems.
Network Reliability: Dual redundant 24–55V DC power inputs ensure continuous operation during power fluctuations. Support for RSTP (802.1w) and link aggregation (LACP) enables sub-second failover for critical control networks. IGMP snooping optimizes multicast traffic for SCADA video feeds.
Advanced Management: Despite its compact size, the Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B offers CLI, web GUI, and SNMP v3 management with AES-128 encryption. Features like port mirroring, bandwidth throttling per port, and DHCP snooping enhance security and troubleshooting.
Deployment Flexibility: The dual SFP slots support a wide range of optics (e.g., 100FX for legacy fiber, 1000LX for long-haul), enabling seamless integration into existing infrastructure. DIN-rail mounting simplifies installation in control cabinets.

Application Field
The Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B excels in environments where commercial switches fail:
Industrial Automation: Connects PLCs, HMIs, and motor drives in automotive assembly lines with immunity to electromagnetic interference from VFDs.
Transportation: Deployed in railway signaling cabinets and traffic control systems, enduring temperature extremes and vibration.
Oil & Gas: Links wellhead sensors and RTUs in remote sites using fiber uplinks for lightning surge protection.
Power Utilities: Aggregates data from smart meters and grid protection relays in substations (-40°C capable).
Renewable Energy: Integrates wind turbine controllers via fiber backhaul in nacelles with limited space.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation: Verify DC power source compatibility (24–55V DC). Ensure proper grounding using the switch’s grounding terminal. For DIN-rail mounting, confirm TS-35 rail clearance. Select SFP modules compatible with fiber infrastructure (e.g., MM/ SM). Prepare shielded Ethernet cables (Cat5e+) for noise-prone areas.
Maintenance recommendations: Monitor switch health via SNMP traps for temperature/power anomalies. Clean vents annually using low-pressure air in dusty environments. Test redundant power inputs quarterly by simulating PSU failure. Update firmware during planned outages using ALE’s validated releases. Always use ESD wrist straps when handling the Alcatel M10-1GB-SFP-B or inserting SFPs.
