Hirschmann M1-8SM-SC Product Details, Exact Identity and Project Selection Checklist for Industrial Applications and Lifecycle Support

Confirm the exact MACH102 module identity

Hirschmann M1-8SM-SC identifies a Hirschmann MACH102 field-replaceable media module, model M1-8SM-SC, part number 943970201. The saved manufacturer description is: 8 x 100BaseFX Singlemode DSC port media module for modular, managed, Industrial Workgroup Switch MACH102. Keep the exact model, part number and parent switch reference together because this is a module rather than a complete switch.

Reference photograph: shared Hirschmann product image. The photographed unit may be a different model or product type; this image does not establish the configuration or availability of Hirschmann M1-8SM-SC.

Match ports, medium and parent slot

The manufacturer source lists the interfaces listed in the manufacturer record. Confirm whether the installed network uses copper, multimode fiber, single-mode fiber, SFP transceivers or PoE, then compare connector type, optical reach, port count and supported MACH102 slot. A similar M1 faceplate does not prove interchangeable media capability.

Review electrical and environmental data

The source states power supplied through the parent switch, a power reference of 10 W, and an operating reference of 0-50 °C. Check the complete switch power budget, PoE load where applicable, cabinet temperature, airflow, grounding and branch protection. Module-level limits do not replace the parent switch installation requirements.

Manufacturer data for review

Plan transceivers and fiber accessories

For SFP or fixed-fiber versions, record fiber type, wavelength, connector, route length, attenuation and required redundancy. Ask the quotation to identify separately ordered transceivers, patch leads, dust caps and cleaning items. For copper or PoE versions, document cable category and powered-device demand.

Control replacement risk

Before removal, photograph the installed module label, slot and connected cables, then save the switch configuration and port assignment. Follow the approved shutdown or hot-swap procedure and ESD controls. Verify the accepted hardware revision and current manufacturer documentation before treating it as a replacement.

Prepare the RFQ

Request Hirschmann M1-8SM-SC, part number 943970201, with quantity, destination and target delivery date. Include the parent MACH102 model, installed slot, software version, port schedule, media type and required approvals. State whether the request is for maintenance replacement, expansion or a new rack-switch build.

Receipt and lifecycle documentation

Compare the delivered label and connector arrangement with the approved purchase line before installation. Retain packing information, module photographs, configuration backups and link-test results under the parent switch asset record so future service can distinguish the accepted M1 version from nearby module variants.
