01 Product Overview

Siemens 6GK5106-1BB00-2AA3 is a SCALANCE X106-1 unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switch for combining copper device connections with a multimode fiber link. Its fixed configuration provides six 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports, one 100 Mbps BFOC optical interface, LED diagnostics, an error-signaling contact with SET pushbutton, and redundant 24 V DC supply inputs.

The compact metal unit is intended for cabinet and control-system networks where deterministic plug-and-play Layer 2 connectivity is required without switch configuration. The exact order number, fiber connector style, power arrangement and mounting footprint should be matched to the installed network before replacement.

05 System Fit and Applications

06 Compatibility and Procurement Checks

• Match the full order number 6GK5106-1BB00-2AA3 and SCALANCE X106-1 designation.
• Confirm six 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports plus one 100 Mbps multimode BFOC interface.
• Check 18–32 V DC supply, redundant terminal wiring and signaling-contact requirements.
• Compare the 60 × 125 × 124 mm footprint and the intended DIN-rail, wall or S7-300 mounting method.
• Review fiber type, connector condition, link budget and permitted cable length before commissioning.
• For successor migration, assess port count, mounting position, environmental range and connector compatibility.

07 Lifecycle Note

Siemens SiePortal identifies 6GK5106-1BB00-2AA3 as a spare part with Product Cancellation lifecycle status. Siemens lists SCALANCE XC106-2 variants with ST/BFOC or SC fiber interfaces as successor directions. A successor is not automatically drop-in compatible; connector type, port arrangement, mounting and network documentation must be reviewed for the installed system.

08 Frequently Asked Questions

Is 6GK5106-1BB00-2AA3 a managed switch?

No. The SCALANCE X106-1 is an unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switch.

Which network ports are fitted?

It provides six 10/100 Mbps RJ45 copper ports and one 100 Mbps multimode BFOC fiber port.

Does the unit support redundant power?

Yes. It accepts redundant 24 V DC supply inputs within the specified 18–32 V DC range.

What should be checked before replacing an installed unit?

Verify the full order number, BFOC fiber connection, power terminals, signaling contact, dimensions and mounting arrangement.

What is the lifecycle status?

Siemens identifies this order number as a spare part with Product Cancellation status.

Can an XC106-2 replace it directly?

Only after checking the selected successor’s fiber connector, port configuration, mounting and environmental specifications against the installed network.
