The Managed layer 2 and layer 3 solutions are designed to provide copper and/or fiber networking with the required speed to fit your application. With a wide variety of port options, these modular switches offer great flexibility for network design and redundancy. Additionally, they are designed to withstand severe industrial conditions for a wide range of industrial applications, such as intelligent transport, Oil and Gas, smart factories and many more.
The unmanaged switches offer a plug-and-play functionality for simple small-scale networks that don’t do not require advanced management features, much control or redundancy. This will allow the combination of many Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) over the same hardware, thus saving cabling space and cost, in addition to network installation flexibility.
These utility grade switches are specifically designed to operate in Smart Grid and Utility Substation applications. These switches exceed both the IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards, ensuring immunity to EMI and heavy electrical surges, making them ideal for harsh environmental conditions.
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are engineered for applications where providing a power source is not feasible, making them ideal for surveillance and security, and traffic monitoring in transportation applications. A variety of managed and unmanaged switches are offered, they comply with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, ensuring that they meet the power requirements of any network.
High density layer2 and layer 3 modular switches can support up to 96 Ethernet copper ports, designed to deliver maximum throughput and flexibility for high density and ultra-high-speed connections. These Ethernet solutions are built to survive challenging industrial environments for a variety of industry 4.0 applications.
Media Converters offer a complete Industrial Ethernet solution for extending Ethernet data transmission over fiber or VDSL. The offered Media Converters are designed to fulfill the specific requirements of your Industrial applications with the highest data reliability, high-speed and flexible network connectivity.
