Red Lion Unveils N-Tron NT116: A High-Performance 16-Port Industrial Ethernet Switch for Rugged Environments

Red Lion introduces the N-Tron NT116, a 16-port industrial Ethernet switch designed for tough working 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 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 is a reliable and high-performance device designed for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is compact in size and features 16 high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) housed in a sturdy industrial metal enclosure. The NT116 has high tolerance to shock and vibration, with all ports equipped with ESD and surge protection. Users can enjoy a high 1.2M hour MTBF rating in a slim and space-saving design that can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

The NT116 offers strong network support by allowing for fast 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. Redundancy is ensured with two 10-49 VDC power inputs.

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

The Red Lion NT116 is a new device that simplifies the collection of important performance data. Its tough design ensures it can handle the harsh conditions typically seen in factory floor control networks, as well as industries like oil and gas, utilities, wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, intelligent traffic control, and transportation.

According to Diane Davis, a Product Manager, when industrial equipment operators and business leaders can easily and quickly access their data, they can benefit more from it. The N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch reduces downtime and increases throughput to enhance efficiency and improve operational performance.
