SIXNET's Toughest IP67 (water-tight) Ethernet Ring Switch

SIXNET is announcing its launch of the new five-port IP67 Ethernet Switches (ET-5RS-IP67), featuring the Real-time Ring(tm) capability for super-fast recovery. These switches are ultra-reliable and were designed for the toughest applications, including the military. They easily mount to any machine or convenient flat surface in the harshest industrial environments, reducing installation costs and saving space. These are also easy to use and truly plug and play, to save you time.

The IP67 Sealed Industrial Ethernet Switch is surrounded by a rugged fiber-enforced enclosure and equipped with Amphenol RJField connectors, all of which are IP67 rated to protect against water, oil, dust, vibration and more. Its wide operating temperature of -40° to +75°C and other reliable features make it the ideal switch for outdoor, marine, or military use.

The ET-5RS Real-time Ring(tm) feature provides super fast switchover on a network failure, so your system stays up and running. Real-time traffic prioritization with QoS assures delivery of real-time data, improves network utilization and allows for user-settable priority assignments. Advanced switch features include user configurable port settings, port mirroring and pre-configured settings. This break-through technology delivers reliability, performance and makes your jobs easier.
