HARTING has introduced 19-inch rack-mount versions of its eCon and mCon 9000 family of managed and unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches. The new units allow up to 10 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.

The HARTING eCon 9000 products are plug-and-play Ethernet switches as standard. The HARTING mCon 9000 product range has, in addition to the standard functions, the ability to be managed over an SNMP and Web interface.
