Six new models have been added to the vendor’s family of fully managed Industrial Ethernet switches.
Housed in compact, hardened enclosures, the 709FX, 710FX2, 711FX3, 712FX4, 714FX6 and 7010TX were designed to provide maximum performance in harsh industrial environments. Product highlights include: -40°C to 70°C operating temperature; rugged DIN-rail enclosure; ESD and surge protection diodes on all ports; redundant power inputs 10-49VDC; configurable bi-color fault status LED; store-and-forward technology; onboard temperature sensor; and optional SD Memory Card Configuration back-up. “Our new compact products were designed to meet the rigorous requirements of wind farms, utilities, including power substations, and other industrial process control applications where noise immunity and support for longer distances are essential,” says Warren Nicholson, president and CEO at the vendor. “Up to 6 fibers ports in an incredibly small form factor provides the ability to configure fiber rings and fiber uplinks, in a compact, very cost-effective solution. The 7010TX also supports gigabit fiber.”
