Ethernet switches meet high port density demand

To meet this need, ORing has developed a new series of Gigabit Ethernet PoE switches tailored for railway applications – the TGPS-9084GT-M12 and TGPS-9164GT-M12.

Designed for harsh industrial environments, the switches are ideal for rural areas or places with cabling difficulties thanks to their compliance with IEEE 802.3af/at standards.

The P.S.E. (Power Sourcing Equipment) ports of the switches will enable onboard IP surveillance equipment to be powered over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for additional power cables in the vehicles and hence reducing cabling costs.

The switches are especially suitable for complicated and distributed railway systems. In addition, the switches feature a wide operating temperature between -40 and 70°C, an IP-30 casing, and vibration-resistant M12 connectors. As a result, they can ensure reliable and uninterrupted network connections during movement.

Both switches come with 8 and 16 10/100/1000Base-T(X) P.S.E ports respectively to facilitate transmission of high-bandwidth HD traffic. The BP2 models provide two sets of bypass ports. During normal operation, the bypass ports will pass all network traffic through the appliance.

When the in-line appliance fails due to power outage, the bypass ports will pass traffic directly between its network ports, bypassing the appliance to ensure traffic continues to flow on the network link.

The 24V models provide Power Boost function which can boost the 12~57VDC input power to 50~57VDC for output to meet PoE needs. The switches are also equipped with two power supply modules to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
