Red Lion Unveils N-Tron NT116: A Reliable 16-Port 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 cutting-edge 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, providing reliable performance for critical applications in tough environments.
The NT116 unmanaged switch is a reliable and high-performing device designed for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control. It is compact and features 16 copper ports with high performance capabilities. The switch is housed in a durable industrial metal enclosure, making it resistant to shock and vibration. All ports come with ESD and surge protection for added safety. With a high MTBF rating of 1.2 million hours, users can expect exceptional reliability from this slim and space-saving design that can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.
The NT116 provides strong network support by allowing for communication at full wire speed of up to 3.2 Gb/s throughput. It utilizes store-and-forward technology and is capable of operating 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. Along with meeting IEEE 802.3 standards and having certifications for marine, railway, and rolling stock usage, this new switch also holds UL certifications for Ordinary and Hazardous locations, as well as ATEX and IECEx certification.
The N-Tron NT116 by Red Lion simplifies the process of collecting important performance data. Its tough and resilient design ensures that it can handle the harsh conditions typically encountered 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, having easy and fast access to data for industrial equipment operators and business leaders allows them to benefit more from it. The N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch reduces downtime and increases throughput to enhance efficiency and improve operational performance.
