ACAL Technology’s Steve Horn, General Manager Interconnect Marketing, explains, “This switch provides the potential for reducing installation costs by rationalising IT and factory automation networks. Based on field-proven eCON technology, it brings rugged reliability to industrial applications.”
A package height of 25.5mm makes the eCON 2160-A suitable for use in flat control cabinets whilst its mechanical attachment design allows it to be mounted on, or dismounted from, standard 35mm top-hat rails without tools. ACAL Technology’s extensive in-house assembly facilities provide additional options for cable assembly, plus rack and enclosure manufacturing to further simplify installation.
The new switch is the latest introduction to HARTING’s eCON 2000 family, which also offers five-, four- and three-port versions and supports data rates of up to 1000Mbit/s.
Samples of the HARTING 2160-A can be requested from ACAL who provide specialist design support for the development and installation of industrial Ethernet networks.
