Red Lion Launches N-Tron NT116: Unmatched Performance and Reliability in Harsh Industrial Environments

Red Lion introduces the N-Tron NT116, a 16-port industrial Ethernet switch designed to withstand tough conditions. This switch offers superior performance and dependability in rugged industrial settings.

Red Lion, a company that creates advanced technologies to help industrial businesses access, connect, and display their data, is excited to introduce the N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch. This switch is specifically designed for industrial use, offering reliable performance for critical applications in tough environments.

The NT116 unmanaged switch is a reliable and high-performing device used for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is compact in size and has 16 high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) housed in a sturdy industrial metal casing. The NT116 is designed to withstand shock and vibration, with all ports equipped with ESD and surge protection. Users can expect exceptional reliability with a 1.2M hour MTBF rating, all in a slim and space-saving design that can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

The NT116 offers strong network support by allowing for seamless communication speeds of up to 3.2 Gb/s. It utilizes store-and-forward technology and can operate in both full and half duplex modes. Additionally, it has two power inputs ranging from 10-49 VDC for added reliability.

The N-Tron NT116 is an upgraded version of Red Lion's 116TX unmanaged industrial ethernet switch. It meets the standards set by IEEE 802.3 and has certifications for marine, railway, and rolling stock industries. The switch is also certified for UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations, as well as ATEX and IECEx certification.

The N-Tron NT116 from 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.

According to Product Manager Diane Davis, when industrial equipment operators and business leaders can easily and quickly access their data, they are able to make better use of it. The N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch reduces downtime and increases data flow to enhance efficiency and boost operational performance.
