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

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

Red Lion, a company that creates advanced 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 use, providing reliable performance for critical applications in tough environments.

The NT116 unmanaged switch is a reliable and high-performing option for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is small in size and has 16 high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) in a durable industrial metal enclosure. The NT116 has a high tolerance for shock and vibration, and all ports are equipped with ESD and surge protection. With a 1.2M hour MTBF rating, users can expect exceptional reliability in a compact 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. The unit has two power inputs of 10-49 VDC for backup in case of power failure.

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

The new N-Tron NT116 from Red Lion simplifies the process of collecting important performance data. With a tough and durable design, 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.

Diane Davis, a Product Manager, stated that 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 is designed to reduce downtime and increase throughput, ultimately enhancing efficiency and improving operational performance.
