September 22, 2015 - Acromag releases LNX unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches and media converters that carry UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 certifications.
Models are available with up to 8 ports for copper or fiber cabling on fast Ethernet or Gigabit networks. Most units support extended -40 to 75°C operation and include a rugged IP30 aluminum enclosure that resists shock, vibration, and free-fall impacts.
The LNX-800AG model is an 8-port gigabit Ethernet switch. This switch provides eight 10/100/100Tx RJ45 ports with high EFT/ ESD protection and dual power input with reverse power polarity protection. The similar LNX-800A model is an economical 8-port switch for 10/100BaseTx network connections. For fiber optic connections, the LNX-0702G gigabit Ethernet switch provides two dual-rate 100/1000Fx SFP slots and five copper 10/100/1000Tx ports.
Plug-in SFP transceivers offer a cost-effective solution to accommodate single and multi-mode communication. The LNX-802AG model provides two single or multi-mode gigabit fiber Ethernet ports plus six 10/100/1000Tx ports. Another option is the IMC-100A fiber media converter that connects between 10/100Base-Tx and 100Base-Fx cabling to extend the distance of a network, add flexibility and improve performance. All switches include auto MDI/MDI-X function, store-and-forward switching architecture, and a five-year warranty.
"These industrial Ethernet switches and media converters carry UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 certifications, providing an ideal companion to our remote I/O modules," says Robert Greenfield, Acromag's Director of Sales & Marketing, "Now engineers can quickly source a solution for interfacing sensors and actuators in hazardous locations from a single supplier."
