Red Lion Launches N-Tron NT116: Enhancing Industrial Ethernet Switch Performance and Reliability in Harsh Environments

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

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

The NT116 unmanaged switch provides reliable and high-performance connectivity for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is small in size and has 16 high-quality copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) in a durable metal enclosure designed for industrial use. The switch can withstand shocks and vibrations and all ports have ESD and surge protection. With an impressive 1.2 million hour MTBF rating, it has a slim design that saves space and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

The NT116 provides strong network support with the capability to handle communication speeds of up to 3.2 Gb/s without any slowdown. It utilizes store-and-forward technology and can operate in both full and half duplex modes. Additionally, it has two power inputs that range from 10-49 VDC to ensure redundancy.

The N-Tron NT116 is an updated version of Red Lion's 116TX unmanaged industrial ethernet switch. It is compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards and has certifications for use in marine, railway, and rolling stock environments. This new switch also has UL certifications for both Ordinary and Hazardous locations, as well as ATEX and IECEx certifications.

The N-Tron NT116 by Red Lion simplifies the collection of important performance data. With its tough and durable design, it can handle the harsh conditions typically found in factory floor control networks, as well as in industries such as oil and gas, utilities, wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, intelligent traffic control, and transportation.

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