Router addresses network security concerns

Designed for mid-level industrial applications where hardened and industrial grade solutions are required, the Magnum 5RX Security Router offers a comprehensive set of features essential for success in the field. These features provide maximum protection for power transmission and distribution settings, making the router well-suited for deployments at the edge of the network where modular solutions are either too expensive or not required.

The two-in-one router is equipped with legacy network protocol and interface supports, as well as EtherNet/IP presence, offering a valuable migration path to next-gen network backbones. The router’s advanced software features offer best-in-class firewall protection and VPN security along with advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities.

“This integrated routing and security solution not only provides a cost-effective option for improved efficiency and network reliability, but also gives Belden customers the ability to migrate to more advanced IP-based network solutions at their own pace,” said Maggie Wu, Director of Product Line Management, Belden. “Used together with the Magnum 10RX routers, Belden’s industrial customers can now build a total network solution from core to edge, with fast deployment, easy network management and reduced network downtime.”
