Hirschmann Eagle20-0400 and Eagle30-0402 multiport firewalls

Through Belden, Hirschmann is introducing the Eagle20-0400 and Eagle30-0402 multiple-port firewalls which claim to deliver significant cost savings while achieving greater link speeds. They are claimed to be the first firewalls on the market in a convection-cooled DIN rail housing that supports six LAN ports and WAN connectivity.

This extended number of ports enables users to deploy a single device instead of having to use multiple Eagle20s.

Because Belden has focused on the needs of industrial networks, the Eagle20-0400 and Eagle30-040 bring a number of key benefits over current options by offering multiple ports, gigabit ports and WAN connections. They also have a greater temperature range, more flexible deployment possibilities and offer wider voltage ranges.

The Hirschmann Eagle20-0400 firewall supports four 100 Mbps ports, while the Eagle30-0402 firewall supports four 100 Mbps ports and two 1 Gbps SFP ports. Initially, the hardware release will support ethernet ports only. A later hardware release will also support WAN connections, including ADSL, SHDSL, VDSL, E1/T1 and UMTS.

The LAN and WAN boards have been designed in-house to support industrial specifications. This enables the product to support non-standard voltages such as 72 VDC. The devices are delivered ‘modular from the factory’, so they can be delivered with the required combination of LAN and WAN ports.
