N-Tron unmanaged Ethernet switches

HMS Networks has launched the N-Tron NT110-FX2, an unmanaged Ethernet switch with two fibre ports, the NT111-FX3, an unmanaged Ethernet switch with three fibre ports, and the NT112- FX4, an unmanaged Ethernet switch with four fibre ports, designed for industrial applications needing dependable performance for mission-critical applications under harsh conditions.

Compact in size with eight high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) and 100BaseFX fibre ports, the switches are housed in rugged industrial metal enclosures offering high shock and vibration tolerance. The RJ45 ports have built-in ESD and surge protection. Fibre ports are available with SC or ST connectors in multimode or single-mode configurations. The operating temperature range is –40 to 85°C.

For robust network support, the NT110-FX2, NT111-FX3 and NT112-FX4 unmanaged switches support full wire speed communication. Each model employs store-and-forward technology with support for full and half duplex operation. Two 10–49 VDC power inputs are provided for redundancy.

The switches carry UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations as well as ATEX and IECEx certification in addition to IEEE 802.3 compliance.
