Moxa AWK-3131-M12 wireless AP/bridge with M12 connectors

Strong vibrations, moisture and dust created by industrial machinery can cause data connections to become loose. Where a network device is connected to the control centre via a wireless link, an unstable wired connection between the device and the wireless access point impedes the efficiencies gained by wirelessly accessing the equipment.

Created specifically for applications where strong vibrations can cause networking problems, the AWK-3131-M12 from Moxa provides the secure reliability of M12 connectors and protect wired connections from the inevitable wear and tear of vibration, moisture and dust. The AWK-3131 is Moxa’s basic indoor wireless access point/client/bridge that is built to the 802.11n standard, making it backwards compliant with 802.11a/b/g.

The entire device is housed in a sturdy IP30, full-metal casing and features Power over Ethernet+, redundant power jacks and Turbo Roaming to provide a wireless connection that can reach data transfers of 300 Mbps and roaming handoffs as quickly as 50 ms, when paired with other Moxa hardware. MIMO technology icreases data throughput (up to 300 Mbps) and range. The AWK-3131-M12 also has an operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C.
