 Product Highlights:
  • 18 ports including 2 flexible gigabit combo ports that can be RJ45 copper or fiber optic
  • Truly rugged design with -40 to 75°C operation
  • Easy to configure management functions including SNMP, VLAN, QoS, IGMP and more
  • Fast and flexible redundancy with RSTP
  • Compact, high denisty packaging - high port count in a small footprint
 Overview:
 
The ET-18MG is a 18 port industrial Ethernet managed switch that was designed to be rugged, reliable, real-time and secure. 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. The real-time operation is possible due to SIXNET’s open Linux software that supports advanced networking functions such as SNMP, RSTP, QoS, VLAN, IGMP and much more. Plus there is real security using HTTPS, SSH, SNMPv3, password protection and authentication. SIXNET industrial Ethernet switches are the toughest and most reliable with a unique 20-year support and service promise!

 RJ45 Copper Ports
RJ45 Ports Eightenn RJ45 ports that are fully IEEE 802.3 compliant
RJ45 Speed & Duplex

Configurable or auto-detecting for speed & duplex (full or half), ports 1-16 are 10/100, ports 17& 18 are 10/100/1000 RJ45 or fiber optic

Note: Ports 9 and 10 are combination gigabit ports that have both a RJ45 connector and SFP Fiber connector. For each of these ports, only one of the connectors can be used at a time.

RJ45 MDI/MDIX Auto-mdi/mdix-crossover automatically supports either straight or crossed cables
RJ45 Polarity Auto-polarity for automatic correction of crossed TXD and RXD pairs
 
 Fiber Optic Ports
Fiber Optic Ports Up to two 1000 Mbps fiber optic ports for distances up to 80 km.
Note: These ports also support 100 Mbps fiber optic transceivers. Contact SIXNET for details.
