SIEMENS 6GK5116-0BA00-2AC2 Unmanaged 16-Port Industrial Ethernet Switch – SCALANCE X116
Imagine a production line where a single network interruption cascades into a full plant shutdown — conveyors halt, SCADA loses visibility, and every second of downtime translates directly into lost revenue and safety risk. In harsh industrial environments, a consumer-grade switch simply cannot survive the vibration, temperature extremes, and electromagnetic interference that define the factory floor. The SIEMENS 6GK5116-0BA00-2AC2 SCALANCE X116 is engineered precisely for these conditions, delivering deterministic, uninterrupted Ethernet connectivity where reliability is non-negotiable.
Within the SCALANCE X-100 unmanaged switch family, the 6GK5116-0BA00-2AC2 occupies the high-port-density tier, offering 16 × 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports in a compact DIN-rail form factor. Globally, SCALANCE X-series switches are deployed across automotive assembly plants, chemical processing facilities, power substations, and discrete manufacturing lines — trusted by system integrators and OEMs in over 100 countries as the backbone of Siemens TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 6GK5116-0BA00-2AC2 a managed or unmanaged switch?
A: It is an unmanaged switch. It operates plug-and-play with no configuration interface. For managed features such as VLANs, SNMP, or PROFINET diagnostics, consider the SCALANCE X208 or X216 series.
Q: Can this switch be used in PROFINET networks?
A: Yes. While it is unmanaged and does not support PROFINET device diagnostics itself, it passes PROFINET traffic transparently and is fully compatible with PROFINET IO controllers and devices connected to it.
Q: What is the difference between 6GK5116-0BA00-2AC2 and 6GK5116-0BA00-2AA3?
A: The suffix revision (2AC2 vs 2AA3) typically indicates a hardware or approval revision. The 2AC2 is the current production revision with updated certifications. Always confirm with your Siemens distributor or Konmask.com for your specific application requirements.
Q: Does Konmask.com provide a warranty?
A: Yes. We provide a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all units supplied. Warranty claims are handled via our support team at support@konmask.com.
