Siemens 6GK5008-0BA00-1AB2 Industrial Ethernet Switch

Siemens SCALANCE XB008 unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch is a compact eight‑port device engineered for plug‑and‑play expansion of small industrial networks. It provides 8x 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports and supports simple star and line topologies, making it suitable for adding connections to PLCs, sensors, and actuators in local control cabinets and automation panels. LED diagnostics offer quick visibility into link activity and port status, while the unit carries an IP20 protection rating for use in indoor, non-harsh locations. Powered from a 24 V DC supply, it draws about 0.12 A (roughly 2.88 W), and as an unmanaged switch it requires no configuration to start passing traffic across the 10/100 Mbps ports. This model, part of Siemens’ SCALANCE XB family, is designed for straightforward networking tasks in industrial environments, delivering reliable, straightforward connectivity through eight RJ45 ports without the need for complex management.
