Hirschmann GREYHOUND entry-level industrial ethernet switch

The Hirschmann GREYHOUND switch is designed for industrial environments that need cost-effective, entry-level devices with rugged features to handle demanding applications.

The switch is available in two basic versions, with configurable options: a version with 16 Fast Ethernet TX ports and a version with eight Fast Ethernet TX ports, plus eight Fast Ethernet small form-factor pluggable ports. Four optional Gigabit Ethernet combination ports are also available in either configuration.

The ruggedised switches have been specially designed to handle demanding electrical power generation and distribution applications, including new installations and retrofits of existing substations. The device also performs well in transportation and industrial automation applications, such as railroad optical networks and traffic surveillance on highways.

For enhanced network protection and uptime, GREYHOUND also offers advanced features through Hirschmann’s operating system, HiOS. The software feature range includes network management, diagnostics and filter functions, as well as comprehensive security mechanisms.
