Planning an Industrial Application with Hirschmann MACH102-8TP-FR and Its Verified Manufacturer Data
Confirm the exact DRAGON switch version
Hirschmann MACH102-8TP-FR identifies the Hirschmann managed industrial rack-mount Ethernet switch, model MACH102-8TP-FR, part number 943969301. Preserve the full suffix because L2A, L3A-MR and L3A-UR variants represent different software or routing scope and should not be treated as interchangeable ordering descriptions.

Build the copper and fiber port plan
The saved source lists 10 ports in total; 8x (10/100 BASE-TX, RJ45) and 2 Gigabit Combo ports. Allocate access, aggregation and high-speed uplink interfaces before requesting supply. Confirm transceiver format, fiber medium, reach, breakout needs, link redundancy and spare capacity for the final topology.
Review rack power and cooling
The manufacturer data gives 100 - 240 VAC, 47 - 63 Hz (redundant), an operating reference of 0-+50 °C, and dimensions of 448 mm x 44 mm x 310 mm (without fixing bracket). Check rack depth, airflow, fan and power redundancy, grounding, branch protection and service clearance against the project cabinet design.

Separate hardware and software scope
State the required switching, routing, redundancy, management, cybersecurity and time-synchronisation functions. Ask the quotation to separate the base hardware, software entitlement, power or fan modules, line cards, transceivers and accessories where they are not included in the requested part number.
Prepare an engineering RFQ
Send HKXY the exact reference Hirschmann MACH102-8TP-FR, part number 943969301, quantity, destination and target delivery date. Add the network diagram, rack elevation, port schedule, power-feed design, environmental conditions and required documentation.
Receipt and lifecycle documentation
Compare the delivered nameplate with the approved purchase line before installation. Retain photographs, module inventory, configuration backup and test results so future maintenance can distinguish the accepted build from nearby DRAGON MACH variants.
Technical reference: manufacturer source for MACH102-8TP-FR. Verify current documentation and the delivered revision before final engineering approval.
