Industrial Ethernet switch

The switch has IEEE 1588 compatibility for use in Real Time applications using industrial protocols such as Ethernet IP and ModBus. The product is available in the UK from MAC Solutions.

The new JetNet 7310G is a Layer 3 managed switch with Layer 2 network performance and provides 8 x 35W Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, enabling the simple connection of devices such as PoE enabled I/O modules, GigE cameras, WiFi access points and other devices that require high power levels and industrial cybersecurity features.

Like all Korenix products, the JetNet 7310G operates in the harshest of environments, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C and tolerates extreme EMC conditions, including rail trackside applications.

Cybersecurity features

With cybersecurity of OT (Operational Technology) now uppermost in automation engineers’ minds, Korenix and MAC Solutions are leading the way in bringing enterprise-grade security features to industrial automation applications.

By including a range of security features such as DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection Protection, IP Source Guard, and Denial of Service Protection into a rugged, industrial-grade, Layer 3 Switch, the JetNet 7310G provides an easy route for engineers to secure their OT Networks. When combined with its Advanced Multiple Redundancy Architectures such as Rapid Super Rings and Dual Homing, the JetNet 7310G helps them quickly build a robust, secure solution.

Ian Ritson, Business Development Manager at MAC Solutions comments: “The JetNet 7310G is specifically designed for harsh industrial automation applications, where high reliability, security and compatibility for use in real time applications are required. Due to this unique combination of built-in cybersecurity features and rugged, highly reliable design, we believe the JetNet 7310G is precisely what automation engineers require today,” adds Ritson.
