Router provides security for mission-critical networks

The Magnum 10RX complies with industry specific standards including IEC 61850 and IEEE 1613, addressing demanding environmental requirements, such as in substation applications. With it's optional dual hot-swappable power supply feature, the device also meets the reliability needs of industrial networks.

“Given the varying application scenarios in the industrial sector – like the number of connected networked devices, port type and power supply needs – we’ve made the Magnum 10RX completely customisable,” said Joe Lee, Product Marketing Manager at Belden’s GarrettCom brand. “Its features directly support the flexibility our customers are asking for. Now, they can select exactly what goes into the router in order to meet their individual network specifications.”

“Industrial applications often deal with tight security requirements, varying protocol support and strict standards compliance – three of the areas addressed by the Magnum 10RX,” notes Lee.“Typically, power supplies are one of the weakest links affecting the reliability of a system. With the Magnum 10RX, a failed power supply doesn’t force a system to shut down. Not only can the system continue to operate on a secondary power unit, the primary power supply can be replaced while the system is running.”
