Red Lion, a manufacturer of technologies that empower industrial organizations to access, connect, and visualize their data, launched the N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch.  The new switch is designed for industrial applications needing dependable performance for mission-critical applications under harsh conditions.

Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

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

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.

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 certification.

The N-Tron NT116 is designed to make critical performance data easier to gather. Its rugged and hardened design provides the durability and reliability needed to withstand the extreme conditions found on factory floor control networks and in oil and gas, utilities, wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, intelligent traffic control and transportation applications.
