A switch for all situations
The industrial Ethernet switch plays an important role in high-performance data networks. It ensures fast and continuous data exchange, bridges large distances using fibre optic technology and also supplies PoE-PD devices with power thanks to the integrated PoE functionality (Power over Ethernet).
It is precisely for these combined applications that we recommend the industrial Ethernet switch IGS-624HPT. This extremely compact switch offers you a total of 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports, of which 4 ports support PoE+ and 2 are designed as SFP ports. With the help of suitable SFP modules you can establish fibre optic connections up to 2 km in multi mode and even up to 120 km in single mode.
With PoE+ technology, which provides power up to 30 watts per port, it is possible to connect a wide range of PD (Powered Device) devices. This means that not only simple IP cameras with only a few watts, but now also power-hungry devices such as PTZ cameras with their motors for pan, tilt and zoom functions, high-quality 802.11n wireless access points or even thin client computers with touch panels can be conveniently supplied via PoE+.
Using the built-in DIP switch, you can configure the IGS-624HPT as a 6-port Ethernet switch or in 4+2 FO redundancy mode. In 6-port mode, the switch treats all 6 ports equally. In the 4+2 FO redundancy mode, the 2 FO ports are interconnected internally as a primary or backup link, providing fast and secure redundancy for highly critical Ethernet applications. If the primary port of a data packet is disturbed or otherwise disconnected, the data is automatically forwarded to the backup port.
The Ethernet Switch can be mounted on DIN rail or on the wall. Last but not least, the industrial requirements for reliability and robustness are ensured by a redundant power supply of 12-56 VDC and a robust metal housing as well as an alarm relay for reporting a power failure and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 75 °C.
