Compact IEEE 802.3 layer two network switches with automatic speed, duplex and cable sensing built to N-TRON's high standards for use in mission critical applications where high reliability and extended environment parameters are required. These low cost, Class I, Division 2 switches feature redundant power inputs, hardened metal enclosures, and 16kV port protection.

These N-TRON Switches are specifically designed to meet the requirements of mission critical PLC and process control applications with Ethernet remote I/O using EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, and other industrial Ethernet communication methods. The 500 Series -A firmware option offers N-View OPC Network Monitoring, IGMP Snooping, VLAN, QoS, Port Control, Trunking, and Mirroring required by many advanced I/O control applications. Little or no configuration is required.

N-TRON fully managed switches incorporate N-View OPC Process Control features and reliability, required by industrial remote Ethernet I/O applications, in addition to features expected in enterprise level devices. Web Browser Setup, RSTP, SNMP, DHCP Server with Option 82 relay, N-Ring 30ms high speed ring management, N-Link high speed Ring Mesh management are a few of many features included in this N-TRON family of mission critical switches.

N-TRON's Family of IEEE802.11a,b,g,n hardened wireless products provide a powerful solution for industrial applications. Data bandwidths up to 300 Mb/s can be attained using the 802.11n MIMO wireless technology. Their standard powerful transceivers extend network range well beyond that of most commercial wireless products. N-TRON Wireless products can be configured in bridge, router, and station mode in Wireless Service Set (WSS) configurations with WEP or WPA security.
