ICP Electronics Australia has announced the release of the IP-67 waterproof ethernet switches IES-2050-M12 and IES-1050-M12 from O-Ring. The waterproof, light-managed redundant ring ethernet switch featuring 5x 10/100Base-TX ports is fully compliant with the IP67 standard.
With the support of ethernet redundancy protocol, O-Ring (recovery time <10ms over 250 units of connection) and RSTP/STP (IEEE 802.1w/D) can protect mission-critical applications from network interruptions and temporary malfunctions through its fast recovery technology.
Both IES-2050-M12 and IES-1050-M12 are constructed of rugged, weatherproof aluminium. The IES-2050-M12/1050-M12 also feature RJ45 ethernet ports with M12 type connectors, which provide waterproof, anti-shock and dust-tight connections. In addition, the wide operating temperature range (-40 to 70 °C) makes them suitable for use in the toughest industrial environments.
The IES-2050-M12/1050-M12 can be integrated to suit many applications, making it one of the most rugged solutions for managing an outdoor network.
