Red Lion, a manufacturer of innovative technologies that empower industrial organisations to access, connect and visualise their data, is pleased to announce the launch of N-Tron® NT116 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, designed for industrial applications needing dependable performance for mission-critical applications under harsh conditions.

The NT116 unmanaged switch offers exceptional reliability and performance for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O and process control. Compact in size and including 16 high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45), the unit is housed in a rugged industrial metal enclosure.

Robust network support

NT116 offers high shock and vibration tolerance, and all ports have built-in ESD and surge protection

The NT116 offers high shock and vibration tolerance, and all ports have built-in ESD and surge protection. Users benefit from an exceptional 1.2M hour MTBF rating, in a slim, space-saving design that operates in temperatures from −40°C to 85°C.

For robust network support, the NT116 supports full wire speed communications of up to 3.2 Gb/s throughput. The unit uses store-and-forward technology and supports full and half duplex operation. Two 10-49 VDC power inputs are provided for redundancy.

Red Lion’s new N-Tron® NT116

The N-Tron® NT116 is the next evolution of Red Lion’s 116TX unmanaged industrial ethernet switch. In addition to IEEE 802.3 compliance and marine, railway, and rolling stock certifications, the new switch carries UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations as well as ATEX and IECEx certifications.
