TRENDnet, a specialist in SMB and consumer networking and surveillance platforms, had added two new industrial Gigabit PoE+ wall-mounted front access switches to its existing line of rugged industrial networking solutions. The manufacturer says the new industrial front access switches are designed to provide high-speed network connections for smaller installation spaces that are unable to be fitted with a traditional rackmount or DIN-rail network switch.
"Every networking environment is different, and some are unable to accommodate a full-sized rackmount switch, or even have the space to allow for a DIN-Rail switch," observes Evan Davis, senior manager of solutions engineering at TRENDnet. "Our flat network switches are extremely compact, and feature front access ports and power interfaces to make installation easier, especially in limited spaces."
The new Industrial Front Access Switches from TRENDnet include the 10-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Wall-Mounted Front Access Switch (TI-PG102F) and the 6-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Wall-Mounted Front Access Switch (TI-PG62F). All TRENDnet industrial switches feature a hardened IP30 rated metal housing, and are resistant to high degrees of vibration and shock. The units are designed for use in rugged environments such as automation networks, IP surveillance systems, and IoT applications.
The new industrial front access network switches are rated to operate in both high heat and extreme lows: -40° through 75° C (-40° through 167° F). Multiple redundant power inputs on the industrial switches support overload current protection. An input power failure feature will trigger an output alarm relay to allow for quick action and reduce total network downtime.
Support for PoE+ technology allows data and power to both be sent over a single cable reducing overall infrastructure costs and time spent on setup. The industrial front access switches conveniently include a DIN-rail bracket and a magnetic wall mount kit for installation flexibility.
The 10-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Wall-Mounted Front Access Switch and the 6-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Wall-Mounted Front Access Switch are scheduled for availability in mid-May. They will be available online on the TRENDnet store, and through the manufacturer's distribution and retail partners.
