Ethernet Direct HUG-1628 Gigabit Switch Secures Industrial Ethernet

The HUG-1628 is an 18-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with a robust stand-alone design that gives large-scale automation systems an ideal means of network communication, and exhibits maximum efficiency and reliability. The high port density design fulfils the demand for high-density network connections especially in large distributed control systems. Its state of the art design supports both Gigabit SX and LX or flexible SFP form factor to keep your network secured, and reliable. The innovative SFP fiber slot design provides users with the flexibility to insert different fiber modules, either multi-mode or single-mode at various distances, whether typical 10km or overhaul 40 km and 80 km. This allows users to have more options when dealing with different application requirements.

Increased use of bandwidth has created significant demands for Gigabit Ethernet technology.

HUG-1628 Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch has strong safety features. It has IP-30 housing protection, and power polarity reverse protection, overload current protection, EFT protection over 3000 VDC for power line, and 6000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection. HUG-1628 also complies with major safety protocols, further ensuring your application to keep intact. The dual power inputs (12 to 48 VDC) in HUG-1628 is designed for redundant power configurations to ensure system uptime. In the event a problem occurs with external power, a built-in fault relay is available to signal an external programmable logic controller or other controllers.

Ease of installation and maintenance to withstand longer product life is a key consideration for Ethernet Direct. Each Ethernet port is equipped with LED indicators that provide transmission speed, link, and activity status to give support in diagnostics especially with cables and attached devices. While with auto-MDI/MDI-X, there is no need to use crossover cables, and auto-negotiation provides optimum Ethernet link configurations.

HUG-1628 is a high performance yet low cost unmanaged switch to serve larger applications that require low cost of ownership.
