Unmanaged industrial ethernet switches for harsh environments

Weidmuller has released a new range of high-performance, unmanaged industrial ethernet switches and media converters specifically designed to perform in harsh environments.

The new industrial product range includes fast ethernet and gigabit unmanaged switches, and 10/100 media converters. Weidmuller says products in the range are resilient, robust and high quality. 

All switches are housed in metal casings, which act as a heatsink, reportedly eliminating the need for fans and case venting. This delivers IP40 protection and stops any foreign objects from penetrating the device and causing failures.

The switches can withstand operating temperatures up to 85ºC as well as high vibration, and deliver EMC protection. The plug and play switches all come standard with a universal low voltage power supply of 18-72VDC/13-50VAC.

The units are suitable for applications in the general automation, mining, marine, and oil industries.
