ArkSwitch TX 8+2

ArkSwitch TX 8+2 PoE

The ArkSwitch TX 8+2 cross-technology switches support up to 8 T1|TX Auto Detection ports to which both standard Ethernet and Single-Pair-Ethernet end devices can be connected, regardless of whether they are MASTER or SLAVE devices. Our ultra-compact M12 IP65/67 unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switches efficiently and reliably network all applications in harsh industrial environments as well as in rail and commercial vehicles. Thanks to the wide temperature range, high shock and vibration resistance and robust metal housing, our ArkSwitches can be installed directly in the field outside the control cabinet. Variants with X-coded M12 Gigabit ports offer high bandwidth and sufficient reserves for demanding applications. The Plug&Play switches enable reliable Ethernet communication directly in the application, save space in the control cabinet and reduce cabling costs. Excellent EMC behavior and fire protection in accordance with DIN EN 45545 make the switches fully suitable for railroad applications and comply with DIN EN 50155. The switches offer the following features: IEEE802.3 Store and Forward, Quality of Service, Flow Control, two connection options for Gigabit Ethernet TX, eight connection options for Ethernet TX/T1, mobile and stationary application areas, a power supply of 9-60V DC, a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, a compact and robust design and an IP65/67 protection class. The ArkSwitch is developed and manufactured in Germany.
