Slim Line Switches With More Fiber-Optic Ports For Noise Immune Connections Up To 120 km

Clifton Park, NY - SIXNET announces that the Slim Line series of truly industrial Ethernet switches is now available with up to four fast Ethernet (100 Mb) fiber optic ports. These fiber ports are available with multimode, singlemode, long-haul (for noise-immune links up to 120 km), or other special applications transceivers. The connector style is your choice of SC or ST.

The SL-8MS (managed) and SL-8ES (unmanaged) switches feature a compact and slim package design making them ideal for DIN rail or direct panel mounting in any application. These compact Slim Line switches feature the ultra-reliability and industrial ruggedness synonymous with all SIXNET products.

The SL-8MS managed switches support all standard IEEE 802.3 protocols and offer real-time secure performance through RSTP for fast redundancy, SNMP for network management, VLAN for network segregation, IGMP for multicast filtering and much more. Secure access is ensured with HTTPS (SSL and TLS), SSH, SNMPv3 plus others. Both the SL-8MS and SL-8ES switches feature advanced intelligence and non-blocking wire-speed switching that allow all ports to communicate at full-duplex speed (200 Mbps) at the same time, eliminating collisions and ensuring no undesirable delays.

Slim Line industrial Ethernet switches have rugged circuitry and redundant power inputs with industrial surge and spike protection to keep your system up and running for many years. These switches are backed by a 5-year support policy and SIXNET's 30+ years of experience designing truly industrial products. They can operate from -40 to 75°C and are proven ultra-reliable with over 1,000,000 service free hours (MTBF). These switches are rated for hazardous locations (Class I, Div. 2 & Zone 2), UL/CSA, CE, FCC and RoHS to assure long term success in harsh industrial environments. SIXNET is a fully certified ISO 9001 company since 1996.
