Rugged managed switches for deployment in 19” racks, as used in control centres and data centres, are now available from Phoenix Contact.
The switches offer the advantages of industrial Ethernet in a suitable 19” rack format and are designed for extreme electromechanical and climatic conditions. They also fully comply with the IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 requirements for deployment in energy systems. These are capable of handling a temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
Despite 28 Ethernet ports, the units only take up one rack unit in the switching cabinet and they are available with copper or fibre-optic ports.
