Red Lion Unveils N-Tron NT116: Industrial Ethernet Switch for Reliable Performance in Harsh Environments

Red Lion has introduced the N-Tron NT116, a 16-port industrial Ethernet switch designed for tough operating conditions. This switch offers exceptional performance and reliability in challenging industrial settings.

Red Lion, a company that creates new technologies to help industrial businesses access, connect, and view their data, is excited to introduce the N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch. This switch is specifically made for industrial settings that require reliable performance for important tasks in tough environments.

The NT116 unmanaged switch is a reliable and high-performance solution for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is compact and has 16 copper ports that offer high performance (10/100BaseTX RJ45), all housed in a durable industrial metal enclosure. The switch is designed to withstand shock and vibration, with built-in ESD and surge protection on all ports. It has a high MTBF rating of 1.2 million hours and operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, making it a space-saving and reliable option for industrial settings.

The NT116 offers strong network support with the ability to handle communication speeds of up to 3.2 Gb/s. It utilizes store-and-forward technology and is capable of operating in both full and half duplex modes. Redundancy is ensured with two power inputs ranging from 10-49 VDC.

The N-Tron NT116 is a newer version of Red Lion's 116TX unmanaged industrial ethernet switch. It meets IEEE 802.3 standards and has certifications for use in marine, railway, and rolling stock environments. The switch is also certified for use in UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations, as well as being ATEX and IECEx certified.

The new N-Tron NT116 by Red Lion simplifies the process of collecting important performance data. Its tough and durable design ensures that it can handle the harsh conditions often seen in factory floor control networks, as well as in industries like oil and gas, utilities, wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, traffic control, and transportation.

Diane Davis, the Product Manager, stated that industrial equipment operators and business leaders can benefit more from their data when they can easily and quickly access it. The N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch is designed to reduce downtime and increase throughput, ultimately enhancing efficiency and operational performance.
