Transition Networks expanded its industrial portfolio with the introduction of a new GL-certified industrial managed Ethernet switch, enabling customers to deploy Ethernet LANs onboard offshore vessels.
Trusted by governments and private industry worldwide, the certification by the independent Germanischer Lloyd (GL) agency ensures a product is safe and will meet performance requirements in a specific marine application. For Transition Networks’ SISTM1040-262E-LRT, the GL certification coupled with the product’s existing UL Class 1 Div 2 Certification for use in hazardous locations assures customers the product can be used on ships, offshore oil rigs, refineries and other marine applications without risk of interfering with other equipment or igniting hazardous fumes. In particular, GL certification ensures that the switch will not interfere with shipboard radio communications.
The SISTM1040-162E-LRT is a ruggedised, fully managed switch that is designed to provide high availability dual-speed fibre connectivity to network devices that may be located in remote harsh environments and severe temperatures. It has 16 x 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports plus two x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 or 100/1000Base-X SFP combo ports. All of the RJ45 ports support auto-negotiation and auto-crossing, while the SFP ports support both 100Base-FX and 1000Base-X SFP optics.
Software features include support for IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, IEEE 802.1P Class of Service, IGMP for multimedia applications, X-ring, Dual Homing, Couple and Dual Ring topologies providing redundant backup and recovery times below 20 milliseconds. The switch can be managed via Telnet and command line interfaces as well as through its built-in Web interface. Support for industry standard SNMP v1/v2c/v3 ensures manageability through third-party open management software packages.
Remote firmware upgrade capability, via the industry standard TFTP protocol, enables future software enhancements. This, coupled with the product’s multispeed, gigabit-capable network ports and Transition Network’s lifetime warranty, ensures the switch can become a building block in industrial networks designed for the long-term and for future migration to higher performance. Offered in an operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, this switch also provides dual, redundant, auto-sensing 12–48 V d.c. power inputs with reverse polarity power input protection and overload current protection, as well as a relay contact output circuit for controlling external alarms. DIN-rail and wall mount brackets are included as standard.
