Rugged Ethernet Switches for Rugged Conditions
From dusty remote mines to bumpy railcars, our industrial-rated switches are built to take abuse and continue reliable operation. Rated for IP67, they resist dust, moisture, humidity, and contaminants. Compliance with railway standards like EN 50155, EN 50121-3-2, and EN 50121-4 ensure continued operation during high vibration, shock impacts, and extreme temperature swings. Sealed M12 connectors accommodate copper and fiber ports. Select from unmanaged or managed Ethernet switches with a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 or router capabilities, including VLAN, IGMP, Quality of Service, SNMP, redundancy, port mirroring, and more.
IP67 Waterproof and Railway Rated
Operations located in hostile environments cannot deploy standard IT equipment. It is especially true of rolling stock and railway applications. For these, professionals turn to trusted names like TRENDNet and Antaira. They offer a series of industrial Ethernet switches that meet railway, safety, shock, vibration, and EMI standards.
With a sealed enclosure, extended operating temperature, and M12 connectors, they withstand the most extreme conditions. With surprising ease, these switches overcome the most common threats to transportation networking equipment. They are packaged in easy-to-deploy, unmanaged devices that require virtually no maintenance effort.
Transportation Certified and Then Some
Rugged railway switches cater to hostility. The TI-XPG500 unmanaged switch puts 5 Gigabit Ethernet connections to work. The M12 connectors increase integrity by eliminating the most common line breaks and failures. The metal housing protects against moisture, dust, shock, vibration, and electrical surges and is rated to operate in temperatures from -40 below to 75°C. Network management protocols ensure security, access, and traffic management.
Antaira’s rugged IP67 switches cater to hostility. The LNX-0800-M12-67 utilizes 8 Fast Ethernet connections. The M12 connection ensures connective integrity by eliminating the most common line breaks. The rugged IP67 housing protects against moisture, dust, shock, vibration, and electrical surges. And, it operates in temperatures from -40 below to 75°C.
The LMP-1802G-M12-10G-SFP-67-24 managed Ethernet switch brings the same levels of durability and stability in a cost-saving package, but it includes 10 GB fiber interfaces and 16 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports to power devices such as cameras. The switch also conforms to the EN50155 railway standard to push reliability over the top. Both are backed by a 5-year warranty.
