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.
