Features and benefits

  • Fast Gigabit performance

    All-Gigabit copper portfolio with fixed port FX/LX fiber or dual mode SFP options available. Boost bandwidth for data collection, vision systems, and segmented networks with flexible, future-proof connectivity.

  • Precision timing

    Hardware‑based IEEE‑1588 PTP for precise time synchronization. Motion‑ready EtherNet/IP infrastructure supports coordinated motion, faster startup and recovery, and consistent timing across distributed automation systems.

  • Segmented architecture

    Support complex ring topologies without sacrificing speed. N-Ring redundancy offers ~20 ms healing for ultra-fast fault recovery, reduced downtime, and seamless production in industrial networks.

  • Quick startup

    The logical dashboard with quick start wizard ensures fast deployment. Text-based configuration files make it easy to retrieve and redistribute settings across your network for simple, rapid scaling.

  • Rapid recovery

    Leverage fast boot and quick recovery protocols to prioritize uptime. Fast boot feature passes traffic in < 7 seconds. Recover quickly without long startup delays following power cycles or switch replacement.

  • Rugged design

    Built for extremes with a -40 °C to 85 °C operating temperature, 10-49 VDC redundant power inputs, surge protection, and high shock/vibration tolerance in a compact, metal casing for reliable industrial performance.

  • Reliable configuration

    An optional microSD card enables fast replacement and recovery by allowing configurations to be backed up and restored without reconfiguration—reducing downtime and risk of errors.

  • Network security

    Future-ready network security and management features: password encryption, MAC security, SSH/SSL/HTTPS, SNMPv3, user/port lockout after failed authentication attempts, IEEE 802.1X with RADIUS user authentication.

  • Reliability and diagnostics

    Get your network back online in minutes, not hours with reliable diagnostic features like port mirroring, event log/Syslog, LLDP, advanced cable diagnostics, configurable alarms and faults, and LED status indicators.

  • Automation ready

    N-View™ 3 reduces setup time and troubleshooting with device and topology discovery, network health monitoring, and simplified remote firmware and device management. The switches also support CIP messaging with AOI and Faceplate integration for Rockwell environments.

  • Extensive industry certifications

    Ideal for use in most industrial applications, including factory automation, motion control and robotics, food and beverage, oil and gas, alternative energy, water/wastewater, machine builders/OEM, marine, rail, industrial protocols, and more.
