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

Red Lion has introduced the N-Tron NT116, a 16-port industrial Ethernet switch designed to withstand tough conditions. This switch offers exceptional performance and reliability for use in demanding industrial settings.

Red Lion, a company that creates new technologies to help industrial businesses access and view their data, has introduced the N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch. This switch is specifically made for industrial use and provides reliable performance for critical applications in tough environments.

The NT116 unmanaged switch is known for its reliability and efficiency when it comes to data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is small in size and has 16 high-performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) enclosed in a sturdy industrial metal casing. The NT116 can withstand shocks and vibrations well, and all ports come with ESD and surge protection. With an impressive 1.2 million hour MTBF rating, users can expect reliable performance in a compact design that can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

The NT116 provides 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 a newer 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. The 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 gathering of important performance data. Its sturdy and tough design ensures it can withstand the harsh conditions typically found in factory floor control networks, as well as in industries like oil and gas, utilities, wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, intelligent traffic control, and transportation.

Diane Davis, a Product Manager, stated that the N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch helps industrial equipment operators and business leaders access their data easily and quickly. This leads to increased value from the data, reduced downtime, improved efficiency, and enhanced operational performance.
