Siemens SCALANCE XB213-3 Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch
The Siemens SCALANCE XB213-3 is a managed Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet switch designed for industrial automation, machine networking and factory-floor communication. It combines 13 x 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports with 3 x 100 Mbps multimode fiber-optic ports, providing a total of 16 network interfaces for mixed copper and optical Industrial Ethernet infrastructures.
The SCALANCE XB213-3 belongs to the SCALANCE XB-200 managed family and provides network management, diagnostics and industrial communication functions. Depending on the exact Siemens MLFB, the switch is available with either ST or SC multimode fiber interfaces and with different default industrial protocol profiles, including PROFINET and EtherNet/IP.

13 Copper and 3 Fiber Ethernet Ports
The XB213-3 provides 13 electrical RJ45 ports supporting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet communication together with three 100 Mbps multimode fiber interfaces using 100BaseFX. This mixed-media architecture is useful when industrial devices are connected over copper while longer or electrically isolated network segments are connected through fiber.
The exact optical connector depends on the selected model. Siemens offers ST and SC multimode fiber variants, so the complete MLFB should be confirmed before purchasing to ensure the correct optical interface is supplied.
Managed Layer 2 Industrial Networking
Unlike unmanaged SCALANCE switches, the XB213-3 provides Layer 2 management and network administration functions. Siemens documentation specifies features including CLI, web-based management, MIB support, RMON, port mirroring, multiport mirroring and Class of Service. The switch also supports PROFINET IO diagnostics on applicable configurations.
These capabilities provide greater visibility and control for industrial network administrators while allowing the switch to be integrated into structured automation and Industrial Ethernet architectures.
PROFINET and EtherNet/IP Variants
The exact SCALANCE XB213-3 MLFB determines the default industrial protocol configuration. For example, 6GK5213-3BB00-2AB2 is the ST-fiber variant with PROFINET as the default profile, while 6GK5213-3BD00-2TB2 is the SC-fiber variant with EtherNet/IP as the default profile. Siemens also lists corresponding ST and SC variants for both protocol configurations.
Redundant 24V DC Power
The switch uses a nominal 24 VDC power supply and accepts 19.2 to 28.8 VDC. The redundant power supply design helps improve availability in industrial control cabinets where uninterrupted network communication is important. Siemens specifies a 6-pole terminal block for the power connection and a maximum current consumption of approximately 0.41 A.
Industrial Installation
The SCALANCE XB213-3 uses a compact polycarbonate enclosure with 35 mm DIN-rail mounting. The approximately 120 x 117 x 109 mm form factor allows installation in control cabinets and industrial network enclosures. Its rated operating temperature is 0°C to +60°C, with IP20 protection for installation in protected industrial environments.
Industrial Applications
- Industrial automation networks
- PROFINET-based factory automation
- EtherNet/IP industrial networks
- PLC and HMI communication
- Machine and production-line networking
- Control cabinet Ethernet infrastructure
- Industrial fiber-optic network links
- Factory-floor Industrial Ethernet
- Industrial PC and controller connectivity
Compatibility Considerations
Because Siemens offers multiple XB213-3 configurations, the exact MLFB/order number should be verified before purchase. Check the required fiber connector (ST or SC), multimode fiber infrastructure and the desired industrial protocol profile (PROFINET or EtherNet/IP).
For example, Siemens identifies 6GK5213-3BB00-2AB2 as an ST multimode PROFINET variant and 6GK5213-3BD00-2TB2 as an SC multimode EtherNet/IP variant.
