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 industrial settings. This switch offers exceptional performance and dependability.

Red Lion, a company that creates cutting-edge 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 designed for industrial settings that require reliable performance for important tasks in tough environments.

The NT116 unmanaged switch is designed for reliable and high-performance use in data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control applications. It is compact in size and features 16 high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) housed in a durable industrial metal enclosure. The switch is designed to withstand high levels of shock and vibration, and all ports come with built-in ESD and surge protection. With an impressive 1.2 million hour MTBF rating, users can expect reliable performance in a slim, space-saving design that can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

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 can operate in both full and half duplex modes. To ensure reliability, the unit has two 10-49 VDC power inputs for backup power.

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 use in marine, railway, and rolling stock environments. Additionally, the switch is certified for UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations, as well as ATEX and IECEx.

The N-Tron NT116 by Red Lion simplifies the collection of important performance data. With a tough and sturdy design, it can handle the harsh conditions often seen in industrial settings like factory floors, oil and gas facilities, utilities, wastewater treatment plants, alternative energy installations, rail systems, intelligent traffic control systems, and transportation applications.

Diane Davis, a Product Manager, stated that when operators of industrial equipment and leaders of businesses can easily and quickly access their data, they are able to gain more benefits from it. The N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch is designed to reduce downtime and increase throughput in order to enhance efficiency and boost operational performance.
