Crystal Rugged RCS6450-12 and RCS6450-24 switches

Crystal Rugged has introduced the RCS6450-12 and RCS6450-24 switches based on the Brocade intelligent, scalable edge switch line. The ruggedised switches are designed for small and medium-sized applications with improved cooling, shock, vibration and humidity performance for heavy industrial and military environments.

The ruggedised switches operate in harsh environments where size, weight and power limitations are a concern. Weighing between 4.3 and 4.5 kg depending on configuration, the 30.48 cm deep units offer fixed mounted or Delrin glide mounting on standard EIA-310 racks.

The RCS6450-12/24 are also cooled with forced air convection via internal high-reliability long-life fans. This compact, lightweight unit offers full Layer 3 routing, LLDP-MED plug-and-play operations, as well as availability in MIL-CIRC I/O or gigabit Ethernet standard connectors.

Both the 12- and the 24-port units are available with a standard 120/240 VAC COTS power supply and front or rear I/O options, a single 120/240 VAC EMI-compliant power supply, an 18–36 VDC EMI-compliant power supply or a combination of AC or DC supply modules in a 1+1 configuration.
