Rack switching
Harting has introduced 19-inch rackmount versions of its eCon and mCon 9000 family of managed and unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches. The new units allow up to ten Ethernet clients to be connected via RJ45 or M12 sockets (D-coding) at the front of the device.
The switches are specifically designed for use in industrial environments, and support both Ethernet (10 MBit/s) and Fast Ethernet (100 MBit/s) systems.
Line and star topology networks, as well as mixed configurations, are supported.
The ports of the Ethernet switches are fitted with integrated LEDs, enabling fast and easy network diagnostics. In addition to these optical indicators, all switches have a potential-free relay contact, which can be connected via the DIN cable connector.
