N-TRON Corp., an industrial networking company, has added six models to its family of fully managed Industrial Ethernet switches. Housed in compact, hardened enclosures, the 709FX, 710FX2, 711FX3, 712FX4, 714FX6 and 7010TX provide maximum performance in harsh industrial environments. A few highlights include
-40 to 70°C operating temperature
Rugged DIN-rail enclosure
ESD and surge protection diodes on all ports
Redundant power inputs 10 to 49 Vdc
Configurable bi-color fault status LED
Store-and-forward technology
Onboard temperature sensor
SD memory card configuration backup (optional)
The compact devices meet requirements of wind farms, utilities, including power substations, and industrial process control applications where noise immunity and support for longer distances are essential. Up to 6 fibers ports in an incredibly small form factor let users configure fiber rings and fiber uplinks, in a compact, cost effective way. The 7010TX also supports gigabit fiber.
