The ToughNet TN-4500A
Series M12 managed Ethernet switches are designed for railway applications,
including rolling stock and wayside installations. The switches use M12 and
other circular connectors to ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee
reliable operation in industrial environments where vibration and shock are
commonplace. The TN-4500A Series Ethernet switches provide 12 or 24 fast
Ethernet M12 ports with or without IEEE 802.3at/af compliant PoE functionality,
and the Gigabit models have 4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with PoE and optional
bypass relay functionality. In addition, the fiber models provide 2 Gigabit
fiber interface ports with an embedded 2 km multimode fiber transceiver. The
PoE switches are classified as power source equipment (PSE).
The switches provide up to
30 watts of power per port and can be used to power IEEE 802.3at/af-compliant
powered devices (PDs), such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP
phones. The 24 to 110 VDC wide power input range and isolated dual power inputs
not only allow you to use the same type of power source at different sites
around the globe but also increase the reliability of your communications
system. Furthermore, the -40 to 75°C operating temperature range of the
switches ensures they can withstand deployment in harsh environments. TN4500A
Series Ethernet switches are compliant with the mandatory sections of EN 50155,
covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration,
as well as conformal coating and power insulation, making the switches suitable
for a variety of industrial applications.
