Red Lion Launches N-Tron NT116: Enhancing Industrial Ethernet Switch Performance in Rugged Environments

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

Red Lion, a company that creates new 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 made for industrial settings that require reliable performance for important tasks in tough environments.

The NT116 unmanaged switch is known for its reliability and efficiency in handling data acquisition, Ethernet I/O, and process control tasks. It is small in size and has 16 high performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) enclosed in a durable industrial metal casing. The NT116 is designed to withstand shocks and vibrations, with all ports equipped with ESD and surge protection. It has an impressive 1.2M hour MTBF rating and operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, making it a space-saving and reliable choice for industrial applications.

The NT116 provides strong network support by allowing for communication speeds of up to 3.2 Gb/s without any slowdowns. It utilizes store-and-forward technology and can operate in both full and half duplex modes. Additionally, it has two power inputs ranging from 10-49 VDC for backup power.

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

The N-Tron NT116 from Red Lion simplifies the collection of important performance data. With its tough and sturdy construction, it can handle harsh conditions commonly found in industrial settings like factory floors, oil and gas operations, utilities, wastewater treatment plants, alternative energy facilities, rail systems, intelligent traffic control systems, and transportation applications.

According to Product Manager Diane Davis, having easy and fast access to data for industrial equipment operators and business leaders allows them to make better use of it. The N-Tron NT116 unmanaged industrial ethernet switch is designed to reduce downtime and increase productivity, ultimately improving operational performance.
