The 3500/65 6GK5004-1BD00-1AB2 is a compact, unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch from the Siemens SCALANCE XB004-1 series. It is designed for building small star or linear network topologies in industrial environments, and is particularly suitable for compact installations within control cabinets.
Compact and Space-Saving Design
Cost-Effective Copper-to-Fiber Integration
Superior Noise Immunity & Long-range Reach
The SCALANCE XB004-1 (6GK5004-1BD00-1AB2) delivers exceptional value by bridging the gap between local copper-based networking and long-distance fiber optics. Its 4x RJ45 and 1x Multimode SC-port configuration offers a robust solution for small-scale star or line topographies in interference-heavy environments. As a plug-and-play device, it minimizes deployment time and costs while ensuring mission-critical reliability through its industrial-grade hardware and intuitive LED diagnostics.

Rubber Vulcanization
Enabling data interconnection between controllers in vulcanization units, withstanding the effects of high-temperature industrial environments.
When using the 6GK5004-1BD00-1AB2, note that it is an unmanaged switch and does not support ring redundancy; therefore, physical loops must be avoided to prevent network broadcast storms. For the SC multimode fiber port, ensure fiber type compatibility and end-face cleanliness, and strictly follow the 24V DC polarity for wiring. Additionally, with an IP20 rating, it should be installed in a dry, ventilated control cabinet within the temperature range of -10°C to +60°C to ensure long-term stable operation.
