What to Confirm Before Ordering Hirschmann MTM8000-48TP2X-S for an Industrial Network Project

Confirm the exact rack-switch identity

Hirschmann MTM8000-48TP2X-S identifies the Hirschmann modular Ethernet switch system component, model MTM8000-48TP2X-S, part number 942999808. Keep the complete model and part number in the RFQ because nearby MTS and MTM variants may differ in access ports, uplinks, PoE budget, airflow, power supply, software features or chassis role.

Ordering and engineering reference

Build the port and uplink schedule

The saved manufacturer record lists 48 × FE/GE TX PoE ports, 2 × 1/10G SFP+ slots. Map copper, fiber and high-speed uplink ports to the network design before ordering. Confirm transceiver type, fiber medium, link distance, breakout needs and spare-port allowance instead of selecting a rack switch from the nominal port count alone.

Review power, cooling and installation

The source gives Power supply via switch, an operating reference of 0-+55 °C, and dimensions of the documented chassis or module dimensions. Check rack depth, front-to-back airflow, fan or PSU redundancy, grounding, branch protection and cable clearance. For PoE models, calculate the powered-device demand and reserve rather than assuming every port can deliver the maximum load simultaneously.

Separate chassis and field-replaceable items

Some MTM references are power, fan or modular system components rather than complete switches. Ask the quotation to identify exactly what is included and list chassis, power supplies, fan modules, interface modules, licenses and transceivers as separate line items when they are not part of the stated supply.

Prepare a procurement-ready RFQ

Send HKXY the exact reference Hirschmann MTM8000-48TP2X-S, part number 942999808, quantity, destination and required delivery date. Include the rack elevation, port map, power-feed design, airflow direction, software or management requirements and required approvals so the response remains tied to the actual project configuration.

Acceptance and lifecycle record

At receipt, compare the delivered label with the approved purchase line and retain photographs, software information, test results and accessory records. A complete baseline helps maintenance teams identify the correct spare or expansion item without relying on appearance or an abbreviated family name.
