Product Description
Power utilities commonly utilize Gigabit-speed Ethernet systems in substations for automatic control, protection, remote maintenance and disturbance analysis. These systems are mission critical requiring ruggedized, redundant networks to ensure maximum system reliability.
IEN-9648-SS is a high-performance 8-port 10/100/1000 RJ45 downlink and 4-port GbE SFP uplink managed industrial switch designed to meet the requirements and environmental conditions of substation applications. The downlink ports connect to industrial devices and controllers. The fiber ports allow noise-free Gigabit Ethernet transmission for fast recovery, reliable and long-distance to other switches or the control center. It offers auto-negotiation on all its ports and Modbus TCP to aggregate devices easily in industrial Ethernet applications. This switch is built with industrial-grade components, enclosed in an IP30 aluminum case with high thermal conductivity to protect the device from tools and hazards. To ensure reliability the redundant power supply and alarm relay contact on the terminal block ensures non-stop operations and issues alerts if power fails. Certified for use in substation applications, the device is designed to withstand vibration, shock, free fall, and temperatures ranging from -40C~75C (-40F~167F) it suits demanding environments.
