Click2Contact

Crystal Group has announced the expansion of its rugged switch line with the introduction of the RCS7450 and RCS7750 rugged switches. Designed for deployment in harsh environments, the rugged switch line provides robust networks with long-term field operation. IT teams will now be empowered to deploy simple to complex networks that are optimised to their specific requirements while in the field.

The rugged switches are designed with improved cooling, shock, vibration and humidity performance, extending performance within industrial and military environments. Built on the Brocade ICX 7450 and ICX 7750 network switches, they are enterprise-class, stackable LAN solutions for small and medium-size applications. While meeting relevant industry and military standards, the rugged switches offer high port density and flexibility even under extreme conditions.

The RCS7450 is available with 24 or 48 copper ports or with 48-port fibre SFP connectors. It can deliver 960 Gbps in stacking bandwidth, up to 336 Gbps in full duplex switching capacity and up to 250 Mpps forwarding capacity.

The RCS7750 offers 48 port SFP connectors, 5.67 Tbps in stacking bandwidth, up to 1.92 Tbps in full duplex switching capacity and 1.4 Bpps forwarding capacity.

Both units are available in a 1U form factor and weigh between 7.26 and 9.98 kg, depending on supply configuration. Mounting for the units complies with the EIA-310 19″ rack standard using Delrin glides or a fixed mount.
