PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The N-TRON 112FX4 unmanaged industrial network
switch is designed to meet the most demanding
communications requirements while providing high
throughput and minimum downtime. The 12-port
Ethernet switch is the perfect low-cost solution for
mission critical data acquisition, control, and Ethernet
I/O applications.
Exceptional Quality
The ultra-compact 112FX4 provides exceptional
performance and reliability under harsh conditions.
Enclosed in a high-grade metal case, the switch offers a
robust feature set that includes an extended temperature
range, superior shock and vibration resistance, redundant
power inputs, surge and ESD protection, and an
exceptional MTBF—greater than two million hours.
The space-saving design includes an attached DIN-rail
bracket for quick installation.
Versatile Connectivity
The 112FX4 includes eight RJ-45 auto-sensing
10/100BaseTX ports. All ports support full/half duplex
transmission and use N-TRON's proven Ethernet
switching technology.
Setup is easy. The unit automatically configures itself
on the network and auto-negotiates both speed and flow
control for all copper ports.
For fiber optic networks, the 112FX4 supplies four
100BaseFX ports. These connections provide vital support
for applications where EMI immunity or communication
over long distances (up to 80 km) is required. N-TRON
offers singlemode or multimode options, as well as SCor ST-style connectivity.
Excellent Network Support
The 112FX4 is a brilliant plug-and-play solution for
unmanaged operations, eliminating virtually all network
collisions. Designed with advanced communication
processing, store-and-forward programming and memory
for up to 8,000 MAC-addresses, this powerful unit
handles the demands of even the most complex networks.
Intelligent auto-sensing ports instantly recognize and
resolve 10/100BaseTX, MDIX and duplex conflicts. For
added convenience, LEDs are provided to display link
status and activity for each port.
