Amplicon launches multi-purpose Gigabit switch
Amplicon’s Data Communications Group has recently expanded its ANE (Amplicon Networking Essentials) range of low-cost Industrial Ethernet switches with the addition of an all Gigabit switch and media converter. The ANE-401G is an entry level ‘all gigabit’ 4 port switch and media converter in one. It is ideal for connecting high bandwidth devices in harsh environments thanks to its -40 to +75°C operating temperature and shock & vibration approvals. IP CCTV and high speed data acquisition applications are two primary targets for the ANE-401G.
The The unit is supplied with DIN-rail and wall mount brackets meaning that the ANE-401G can be securely installed making your finished system much more professional than if a consumer Ethernet switch were used. A wide ranging 12 to 48Vdc input provides flexible powering options and an alarm output provides an out-of-band alert if a cable is unplugged or one of the redundant power inputs fails.
