Switch to industrial option
07 March 2014
Phoenix Contact now offers rugged managed switches for deployment in 19” racks used in control centres. In the past, these systems frequently relied on devices designed for office environments, which made them of limited use in industrial applications.

The new switches offer all the advantages of Industrial Ethernet in a suitable 19” rack format. They are designed for extreme electromechanical and climatic conditions and fully comply with the IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 requirements for deployment in energy systems.
The switches provide fan-less operation and can handle a wide temperature range extending from -40 to +70°C.
