High-reliability IP67 Ethernet switch targets domestic security applications

A ruggedized Ethernet switch aimed at domestic security networking applications provides five 10/100 mbps plug-and-play Ethernet transceiver ports and can operate in full- or half-duplex mode. Designed to survive thermal swings from -40 C to +85 C, shock and vibration, dust particles, and liquid immersion, the DuraNET 10-10 from Parvus Corp. is an unmanaged switch that provides store-and-forward switching and a 512 kb frame buffer memory. To increase reliability, the passively cooled, IP 67-rated unit sports field-deployable RJ-45 or M12 connectors and a sealed and fanless metal chassis designed for mounting to any machine or flat surface. The product also combines open-architecture PC104 Ethernet switch and vehicle-grade power supply components while maintaining performance over the temperature range from -40C to +85C.

Requiring no configuration to operate, the unit features five IEEE 802.3/u compliant (10/100mpbs) Ethernet transceiver ports and support for auto-MDI-MDIX network installation. Any of its five transceiver ports are flexibly designed to serve as an uplink. It supports auto-crossover, auto-polarity, auto-negotiation, and bridge loop prevention, providing local area network (LAN) connectivity to IP-enabled equipment such as onboard computers, cameras, sensors, monitoring devices, and command-and-control gear for situation awareness and information sharing.
