National Instruments UES-3880 Smart Ethernet Switch

The UES-3880 (part number: 780038-01) from National Instruments is a smart ethernet switch designed to optimize network performance. Equipped with advanced features and a built-in smart alarm function, the UES-3880 ensures seamless monitoring of your Ethernet network's health. The reliable and rugged industrial-grade design of the switch allows your equipment to comply with FCC and CE standards.

The NI UES-3880 is equipped with 10/100BaseT(X) (RJ45) technology, which adheres strictly to the recognized IEEE802.3/802.3u/802.3x standards. This ensures a seamless and reliable network connection that meets industry benchmarks for compatibility and performance. Its store and forward switching process type, along with 1024 address entries, guarantees efficient data transmission. 

The UES-3880 switch features a relay output, alerting the user to any power failure or port break. Additionally, the switch includes redundant dual DC power inputs which offer an added layer of security and ensure continuous operation even in demanding environments. The UES-3880 is designed to withstand extreme conditions, with an operating temperature range of -40 to 75ºC. Choose between DIN-rail or panel mounting options, providing flexibility to suit your installation preferences.

The user-friendly design makes installing the UES-3880 a breeze. The switch features a pre-attached aluminum DIN-rail plate, simplifying the process for immediate use. To mount the NI UES-3880 on a DIN-rail, simply insert the top of the DIN-rail into the designated slot located just below the stiff metal spring. The DIN-rail attachment unit will securely snap into place.

To mount the UES-3880 onto a wall, first remove the aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate from the rear panel of the switch and attach the wall mount plates. Mark the appropriate screw locations using the switch with wall mount plates as a guide. Use screws with heads less than 6.0 mm in diameter and shafts less than 3.5 mm. Leave about 2 mm of room between the wall and the screws for sliding the wall mount panel. Next, insert the four screw heads through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures and slide the NI UES-3880 downwards. Finally, tighten the four screws to ensure stability.
