10KT

The 10KT Switch provides rack-mount space efficiency and advanced port configurability for heavy duty industrial applications where maximum fibre port count and diversity are required. New advanced thermal design techniques (patent pending) enable the 10KT to deliver high reliability and configurability even at extended operating temperatures. Special rack-mount cooling features include Thermal Fins for extra heat dissipation and internal heat transfer techniques that use the case as a heat sink. Cooler operation of internal electronic components leads to longer life-time and increased reliability.

Next Generation industrial switch features, especially for power utility facilities in the Smart Grid, importantly include high precision IEEE 1588v2 timing synchronization with precision as low as single-digit nanoseconds. The 10KT provides a new advanced level of 1588v2 timing features and accuracy, using integrated hardware and software. Advanced timing is supported on 100Mb and Gb ports, and is configurable on both fibre and copper port types.

The 10KT also offers configurable Dual Hot-Swappable power supplies for redundancy and increased reliability. Both high voltage AC/DC and low voltage DC hot-swappable power supplies are configurable in the 10KT. Different power supply types may be selected for each of the two hotswappable slots. Software monitors each power supply, and can signal when a power supply module swap is needed. The swap-out can readily be done while the 10KT Switch continues in operation.

The ten port configuration slots in the 10KT provide the flexibility for network designers to configure up to four fibre or copper Gb ports and up to thirty-two 100 Mb SFF fibre or copper ports. Copper ports can optionally be Power-Sourcing PoE. Modules may be configured for regular port types, IEEE 1588 v2 timing, or combinations.

10KT Managed Switches come with field-proven MNS-6K and MNS-6K-SECURE Management Software. MNS-6K features include LAN software support including SNMP management, IPv6, Secure Web Management, IGMP, graphical user interface (GUI), redundant LANs support, and many network management security and ease-of-use features.

10KT Managed Switches have rugged metal cases for regular or “Reverse” rack-mounting, and auto-ranging power supplies for operation with standard AC power worldwide, or internal DC power supply choices. Moistureand corrosion-protecting Conformal Coating is optional. The 10KTs and all other products are designed and manufactured in the USA and have a three year warranty.
