FAQs

What are the key features of the Black Box NBSALL8MGR Network Switch?
The Black Box NBSALL8MGR is a Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet network switch featuring 8 RJ-45 ports with A/B switching capability. Key features include network manageability, latching A/B position that maintains signals during power loss, dual power inputs for redundancy, and both manual and remote switching options via RS-232 console or TCP/IP network. It's a 1U rack-mountable unit that supports 10/100/1000Base-T connections and includes a lockable switch with removable key for securing gang switching control.
What are the connectivity options and network capabilities?
The switch supports 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet connections across its 8 ports. It can be controlled through multiple interfaces: manually via front panel toggle switch, electronically through a local RS-232 console, or remotely over TCP/IP network using Telnet, SNMP, or web browser. The device switches all eight leads on the RJ-45 ports and is compatible with twisted pair cabling. For expanded connectivity, it can be daisy-chained with up to 255 chassis to support up to 4080 ports.
What are the physical specifications and installation requirements?
The Black Box NBSALL8MGR is designed as a 1U rack-mountable unit with dimensions of 1.8" height, 17.3" width, and 10.5" depth. It weighs approximately 5 pounds. The switch features a compact chassis design suitable for standard 19-inch racks and includes mounting hardware. For power, it operates at 60 Hz frequency and includes dual power inputs for redundancy, ensuring continuous operation in critical environments.
What safety and reliability features does the switch offer?
The switch incorporates several reliability and safety features including highly reliable internal telecommunications relays, auto bypass, and auto-recovery functions. It's TAA compliant and meets RoHS and WEEE environmental certifications. The latching A/B position maintains signal flow even during power loss, and the dual power inputs provide redundancy. A key-lockable switch adds security for gang switching control, making it suitable for mission-critical applications including classified information systems.
How does the automatic failover feature work?
The automatic failover feature operates through auto bypass and auto-recovery functions. If the "normal" network paths between the chassis and the monitored device fail, the system automatically switches from the normal connection state to the bypass (failover) connection state. The switching circuits use physical latching relays, ensuring that once a position is set, it maintains that position even during power loss, providing continuous network availability and reliability.
