Hirschmann Robust Unmanaged OCTOPUS
The new unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch from Hirschmann's familiar OCTOPUS series possesses ten twisted-pair ports (10/100 BASE-TX). The M12 connections with D coding withstand powerful vibration. Additional features include a robust, fire-proof, die-cast housing, protection class IP54 and a temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
The OCTOPUS 10TX complies with all the relevant industry standards and is approved for use in road and rolling stock/rail vehicles and ships. This makes it particularly suitable for use in small-scale networks in transport, manufacturing and process automation – specifically, wherever management functions are not required. The switch, which boasts a MTBF rating (mean time between failure) of 30 years, can be quickly and easily commissioned as no switch settings are required for operation. On the front of the unit there are LEDs that display the device status, network status, and the presence of a functioning power supply. The fanless design and redundant 24V power supply guarantee high operational safety and maximum network availability. The OCTOPUS 10TX can be mounted on the wall or on the machine itself. It also occupies very little space – the compact housing measures only 184 x 189 x 70 mm / 7.25 x 7.44 x 2.75 in (width x height x depth).
Wherever reliable, intelligent and efficient data transmission has to be guaranteed under extreme conditions, the OCTOPUS family feels at home. Not only at the device level, in factory and process automation, but also in trains or onboard ships – regardless of whether it needs to withstand great mechanical stress, vibrations, wet conditions, dirt or dust.
