New Ethernet Switch from Hirschmann Delivers High-Performance
Features in an Adaptable, Cost-Effective Device to Meet Evolving Network
Needs
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for
mission-critical applications, has announced the newest industrial
Ethernet switch from Hirschmann – the
GREYHOUND 1040. This full Gigabit Ethernet switch delivers on the
high-bandwidth and data speed needs of industrial networks and offers a
2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) fiber port option – a first for the industry.
“We know our customers are facing increased bandwidth and power
requirements. The GREYHOUND 1040 switch enables you to react quickly and
modify networks in real time as your needs change,” said Juergen Schmid,
senior product manager at Belden. “Typically, high-speed and high-power
capabilities require costly hardware. Our industry-first 2.5 GE fiber
port option fills a unique niche in the market, when 1 Gigabit isn’t
enough, but 10 Gigabits is too costly. We expect this mid-range,
cost-effective option will soon be an IEEE standard.”
The GREYHOUND 1040 switch supports up to 28 Gigabit ports and can
operate as a backbone switch. For networks with strict uptime
requirements, the GREYHOUND 1040 enables system updates, modifications
and expansions without taking the network offline through:
-
Redundant power supplies that can be easily changed out in the field.
-
Interchangeable media modules that enable the addition of new ports or
changing existing port types.
“More applications and devices than ever before require power. Whether
you’re upgrading your physical security system or taking advantage of
the Industrial Internet of Things phenomenon, you need powerful
solutions like the GREYHOUND 1040 switch for high-speed communications,”
adds Schmid.
Industries, such as power transmission and distribution, transportation,
and physical security, will benefit from the GREYHOUND 1040 switch’s
technical features, and its adherence to specific industry standards,
certifications and approvals.
