Turck rugged, harsh-duty ethernet switches range

Turck’s range of rugged ethernet switches has been updated to include unmanaged models that will support either 4- or 8-pin M12 twisted pair cable, as well as 4- and 5-pin 7/8-16UN power cable.

The 4-pin switch is suitable for EtherNet/IP applications with both managed and unmanaged options, while the 8-pin switch is suitable for standard ethernet applications.

The fully encapsulated switches are capable of information transfer and real-time I/O control in harsh-duty locations.

The switches support 10/100 Base-T with twisted pair ethernet cable.

The unmanaged switches are available with five or nine ports, while the managed switch is available with nine ports, one of which is used as an RS232 configuration port.

Switches are simple to set up by applying power and connecting devices to the ports. A managed switch supports IGMP, RSTP, SNMP and V-LAN and may be configured by the RS232 serial configuration port or by an internal web page.
