Belden has announced the launch of its Hirschmann GREYHOUND2000 standard switch, which is designed to deliver high fibre port density and offers configurable port modules that make it adaptable to various connectivity scenarios.

These rugged switches are designed for a wide range of markets and applications. GREYHOUND2000 is suitable for power generation, transmission and distribution and within the process industries.

With up to 34 ports the GREYHOUND2000 offers the most of any Belden rugged industrial Ethernet switch. Redundancy protocols are also built into every port to help enable the high uptime and network stability required by mission-critical operations. The switches are also designed for tough industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range of up to +85°C for 16 hours in dry heat and high electromagnetic compatibility.

High uptime and network stability is improved with support for Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2), hardware prepared for Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and High-Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol.
