 Product Highlights:
  • 9 ports with up to two fiber optic ports
  • Super-fast, fault tolerant ring redundancy
  • Pre-configured for true plug and play simplicity
  • Truly rugged design with -40 to 85°C operation
  • MIL-STD-1275 power protection
  • Compact, low-profile packaging that fits in tight spaces and shallow enclosures
 Overview:
 
The ET-9RS is a 9 port industrial Ethernet Real-time Ring™ switch that provides super-fast, fault-tolerant network redundancy using rings to ensure your critical real-time system stays running. The Real-time rings self-configure and work right out of the box, without the need for complex configuration steps making them truly plug and play. The ET-9RS is also designed to be rugged and ultra-reliable. The ruggedness comes from its wide operating temperature range, industrial ratings (UL, CE, marine, hazloc, etc.) plus SIXNET’s 25+ years of expertise in designing truly industrial rated products. The reliability is field proven with over 1,000,000 service-free hours (MTBF) based on real-world data of thousands of switches currently in the field. SIXNET industrial Ethernet switches are the toughest and most reliable with a unique 20-year support and service promise!
