Whale Series IP67 ethernet switches

Click2Contact

The Whale Series WME-867-M12 is an 8-port managed ethernet switch with IP67 housing and M12 connectors. It can withstand a variety of extreme conditions such as high temperature, extreme shock, vibration, dust particles, oil or even liquid immersion. The switch is designed for the toughest applications and can be mounted directly to any machine or convenient flat surface.

The industrial M12 switches are offered in two basic formats: managed and unmanaged. Within these subsets of the series, individual models feature different port configurations: eight M12 connecter 10/100Base-TX ports only; eight M12 10/100Base-TX ports plus M12 connector multimode fibre-optic ports; eight M12 10/100Base-TX ports plus M12 connector singlemode fibre-optic ports. Models with fibre-optic ports provide up to 30 km range via LC connectors.

Unmanaged M12 switches offer a highly cost-effective solution where 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX connectivity is required in the most extreme environments.

Managed M12 switches offer a suite of advanced features. All three managed models can be remotely configured by a web browser and managed by SNMP and RMON. Advanced security features such as VLAN and IPSec are supported, while performance is optimised by functions such as QoS and IGMP snooping and querying. With its fault tolerant X-ring mechanism, failover from failed links or failed ports can be achieved with 10 ms at full load.
