6K32FC
FEATURES
- Convection-cooled 1U rack-mount package, for dusty and dirty industrial environments
- Provides four modular slots for configuration flexibility of up to 8 Gb ports or 16 standard fibre ports or 32 copper ports (some PoE)
- Energy-efficient thermal design enables operation at extended temperatures with high reliability
- Choice of Regular or “Reverse” case designs provide power and port cables in the front or in the rear
- Input power choices include 24VDC, -48VDC, 110-250VDC power, dual source, or AC
The 6K32FC Switch provides rack-mount space efficiency and rich fibre port configurability in a convection-cooled unit (no fans) for heavy duty industrial applications where the presence of dust and dirt may inhibit normal cooling. Moisture- and corrosion- protecting Conformal Coating is optional. New static thermal design techniques (patent pending) enable the 6K32FC to deliver high reliability even at extended operating temperatures.
Special rack-mount cooling techniques include:
- Internal heat barriers confine heat to areas where it is least detrimental
- Large copper power supply heat sinks to dissipate the power heat loss
- Aluminium case material used for efficient heat conduction & distribution
- Perforated case areas enable some vertical air flow via convection
- Cooling space above and below the unit in the rack, 1/2U top and bottom
- Multiple heat sinks distribute heat from internal electronic components
- Premium high-efficiency components used to minimize heat generation
The highest energy efficiency of any rack-mount industrial switch not only enables high reliability, but also makes the 6K32FC a “green” environmentally friendly product.
The four configuration slots in the 6K32FC provide the flexibility for network designers to configure up to sixteen 100 Mb standard ST or SC fibre ports, and/or some 10 Mb fibre ports, and/or one to 8 Gigabit ports, or some copper ports, or combinations including 100Mb SFF fibre ports. SFP, GBIC, and fixed gigabit ports can be configured for a variety of Gigabit fibre and copper cabling types and distances. Copper ports can optionally be Power-Sourcing PoE. There are over 30 modules for various port types and combinations to choose from.
6K32FC Managed Switches come with LAN software support including SNMP management, Secure Web Management, IGMP, graphical user interface (GUI), redundant LANs support, and many network management security and ease-of-use features. See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K and MNS-6K-SECURE) datasheets for more details. 6K32FC's are ideal for building a fibre-rich industrial network for use in harsh industrial applications in power utilities, plants and factories and mines, transportation, telecommunications, video surveillance and oil & gas facilities. The networks commonly include industrial IEDs, RTUs, HMI computers, routers, video surveillance cameras, smaller field switches, and other managed switches for multiple Gigabit backbone interconnections or redundancy.
GarrettCom 6K32FC Managed Switches have rugged metal cases for regular or “Reverse” rack-mounting, and auto-ranging power supplies for operation with standard AC power worldwide. Internal DC power supplies are optional. The 6K32FC's and all other products are designed and manufactured in the USA and have a three year warranty.
