12KX
FEATURES
- Gigabit Ethernet switch, 16 RJ45+SFP fibre combo ports
- Substation hardened, with IEEE 1588 Timing
- Layer 2 or Layer 3 software, MNS-12KS
- Four PoE ports (optional)
- Dual or single internal power supplies
The GarrettCom 12KX Gigabit Managed Switch provides 16 Gigabit ports with built-in SFPs – allowing a choice of fixed 10/100/1000 RJ-45 connectivity or fibre SFPs. The substation-hardened 12KX has a non-blocking switching fabric to provide wire-speed performance on all ports.
The 12KX is synchronized via SNTP or with precision timing using IEEE 1588 v2 PTP on all ports, which assures timing accuracy within 30ns. The unit is well-suited for different needs with environmental certifications including IEC 61850, RoHS compliancy, high and low voltage power supply options, and optional PoE ports. Surveillance and security applications leverage the speed, PoE, multicast capabilities, media flexibility, power supply flexibility and more. Similarly, power utilities can further leverage the timing synchronization as well as dual power supplies and redundancy capabilities available in the software.
Upholding GarretCom’s product line of time-tested robust products, the 12KX switch is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications in harsh environments, with a temperature rating of -40° C to +85° C. Additionally the unit is convection-cooled (no fans), has redundant power supplies, is vibrationresistant, ESD-resistant, and is available with optional conformal coating.
Layer 3 software for the 12KX includes full wire speed RIPbased routing, port-based routing interfaces, static routing, VLAN-based router interface definitions, double VLAN tagging, protocol-based VLANs Multicast Routing (DVMRP), IGMPv1/v2/v3, and much more. Also, environments using OSPF can use OSPF v2 capabilities included in the software.
The GarrettCom 12KX Gigabit managed switch along with the 10KT managed switch and 10ETS managed terminal server allow network architects to create networks encompassing features such as precision time synchronization, high-availability layer 2 as well as layer 3 devices, serial and Ethernet connectivity, routing flexibility such as RIP or OSPF, and more.
For networks that do not need the layer 3 software capability, the 12KX Gigabit managed switch is available with layer 2-only software offering simplicity and affordability.
12KX Gigabit Managed Switches have H and L industrial grade power supplies for worldwide use, and are backed by a five year warranty.
