Industrial managed switches offer high speed
The recovery time of a Gigabit fibre ring or a fast Ethernet copper ring connected in JetNet 5010G can reach to less than 5ms.
Switches and convertors handle strenuous tests
The JetNet 5010G/3010G/4508/2005 and JetCon 1301 provide 1200V AC port to port isolation protection to protect the operator from electrical shock.
Specially designed for industrial applications in harsh environments, the JetNet 3500 Series is also equipped with dual power inputs, which give the devices both network and power redundancy.
There are two models: the JetNet 3505 industrial five-port unmanaged redundant Ethernet rail switch; and the JetNet 3508 industrial eight-port unmanaged redundant Ethernet rail switch.
The JetNet 3500 Series is equipped with Super Ring technology.
Industrial applications often require data communications to be intact all the time.
Data loss of any kind might cause a great deal of damage in terms of time and money.
Super Ring technology equips a system with network redundancy.
Normally, the backup path in this ring topology network is blocked.
But once any segment of the primary path is broken or disconnected, Super Ring technology allows the backup path to be activated, making sure that data transmission over the entire network will not be interrupted.
With fast recovery time less than 300ms, system designers can be assured that a system can run nonstop.
Relay output alarm for port break and power failure helps users even further with monitoring each port's status.
Without relay output alarm, users might not be aware of the system errors until it's too late.
As JetNet 3500 is equipped with relay output alarm, once a port breaks or power failure occurs, administrators will be notified of the emergency situations, and react promptly to system errors, preventing great loss caused by not able to locate problems as soon as they occur.
The dual power inputs provide power redundancy, giving extra assurance for the integrity of the entire system and network.
To cope with harsh industrial environments, the JetNet 3500 Series comes with robust one-piece-formed aluminium case, which complies with IP30 standards.
Korenix also places the terminal block and ventilation holes on the bottom side of each unit to reduce the chance of damage due to dust and moisture ingress.
