PHOENIX CONTACT FL HUB 16TX-ZF (2832564) 16-Port Industrial Ethernet Hub – FL HUB Series
When a factory floor loses its Ethernet backbone, the consequences cascade instantly — PLCs stop communicating, SCADA systems go blind, and production lines grind to a halt. Every second of unplanned downtime translates directly into lost output and costly recovery. The PHOENIX CONTACT FL HUB 16TX-ZF (Part No. 2832564) is engineered precisely to prevent this scenario, delivering a robust, always-on 16-port 10/100 Mbps industrial Ethernet hub that keeps your automation network running without interruption — even in the harshest industrial environments.
Within the PHOENIX CONTACT FL HUB Series, the FL HUB 16TX-ZF occupies the high-density tier, offering 16 RJ45 twisted-pair ports in a compact DIN-rail-mountable form factor. This model is a trusted choice for system integrators and OEM machine builders worldwide who require deterministic, reliable Ethernet connectivity across large-scale control panels, distributed I/O networks, and multi-node automation architectures. Its proven track record in global industrial automation deployments makes it a benchmark product in the PHOENIX CONTACT networking portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the difference between the FL HUB 16TX-ZF and a managed Ethernet switch?
- A: The FL HUB 16TX-ZF is an unmanaged hub that broadcasts all traffic to every port — ideal for simple, cost-effective multi-node connections. A managed switch (e.g., FL SWITCH series) offers VLAN, QoS, and ring redundancy for more complex network architectures.
- Q: Is the FL HUB 16TX-ZF compatible with PROFINET networks?
- A: Yes. As a standard IEEE 802.3/802.3u Ethernet hub, it is compatible with PROFINET, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and other Ethernet-based industrial protocols, subject to your network design requirements.
- Q: Can I mount the FL HUB 16TX-ZF on a standard DIN rail?
- A: Yes. The unit is designed for direct snap-on mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, which is the most common rail type in industrial control panels globally.
- Q: What power supply does the FL HUB 16TX-ZF require?
- A: Please refer to the official PHOENIX CONTACT datasheet for Part No. 2832564 for exact power supply specifications. Our team can assist you in selecting a compatible PHOENIX CONTACT QUINT or TRIO POWER supply.
