Lantech Ethernet switches IPES-0104FA

The Lantech company released uncontrollable Ethernet the IPES-0104FA switches which are supplied with 4 ports 10/100Base-TX, 1 port 100 FX and have capacity of 1 Gbps. As well as other industrial network equipment of the Lantech brand, the new switch steadily works for 4 ports at temperatures from-40 to +75 °C, has the metal body and climatic protection according to class IP30. Besides, IPES-0104FA uses technology of switching Store-and-Forward, is equipped with 4 PoE-injectors with the budget of the power of 120 W, supports the reserved power supply and provides protection of peripheral devices against overcurrent condition.

Support of High PoE technology allows to supply from IPES-0104FA on 4 ports on the IP devices connected to it, including with a high power of consumption, according to the IEEE 802.3af/at standard. For implementation of this task the switch with 4 ports is equipped with four injectors which are built in by PoE with the budget of power to 30 W everyone. In addition to it, IPES-0104FA supports control functions by a power supply order, including auto detection for a power supply only of "active" IP devices, and PoE classification. The switch can be powered from a source of 9-56 V a post. current, and its energy consumption does not exceed 3.8 W.

Important advantage of IPES-0104FA is support of function of protection of peripheral devices against overcurrent condition (Overload Current Protection) extending to all 4 ports of the device. Thanks to it, the uncontrollable switch on 4 ports provides protection to all to the IP devices connected to it from burn-out because of giving on them high tension. Besides, the new Lantech switch is suitable for any installations by the Plug and Play method, uses the mode of switching Store-and-Forward with intermediate storage, does not allow loss of packets and at the same time "price/quality" is selected among analogs with an attractive ratio.

Traffic distribution via the IPES-0104FA Ethernet switch is organized based on 4 ports 10/100TX, each of which supports function of automatic detection of cable type (Auto MDI/MDI-X) and also one 100-megabit optical interface (Fast Ethernet) with the type connector SC for data transmission on long distances on fiber optic lines. At the same time the switch on 4 ports has two modifications, one of which (IPES-0104FA-SC-MM) is capable to transfer data to distances to 2 km, and second (IPES-0104FA-SC-SM) — up to 30 km. It should be noted that both modifications provide reliable service of data and have capacity of 1 Gbps.

Simplicity of installation in limited spaces is provided at the expense of compact dimensions of the IPES-0104FA body which make only 36.2x105x142 mm. Besides, the switch can be mounted on a wall or a DIN rail. The designed in full accordance with industry standards, uncontrollable switch with 4 ports is ready for operation right after its connection, the post provides protection against an electrostatic discharge of 2 kV. current and 6 kV post. current through Ethernet, also has an indicator of an average time between failures (MTBF) of 510,304 h. For simplification of diagnostics of network condition of IPES-0104FA it is supplied with status LED indicators on all 4 ports with PoE.

Stable work of IPES-0104FA is possible in extreme environmental conditions as the 4th port switch is delivered in the metal body protected from adverse external effects according to class IP30 and has the expanded operating temperature range which lower bound is on a mark -40 °C, and upper — +75 °C. At the same time, each switch on 4 ports is steady against electromagnetic interferences, vibrations, blows and falling, as well as other Lantech devices for industrial applications and also has a warranty from the producer for a period of 5 years.
