Omnitron Systems RuggedNet 3259B-1-24-1Z Ethernet Switch

The RuggedNet GHPoE/Si and GHPoEBT/Si are industrial ruggedized unmanaged Ethernet switches that feature fiber or copper uplink ports and four 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper Power-over-Ethernet user ports.

The GHPoE/Si is a pre-IEEE 802.3bt switch featuring up to 60W per user port models. The GHPoEBT/Si is an IEEE 802.3bt switch featuring 60W and 100W per user port models.

The RuggedNet PoE switches are standard Layer 2 Ethernet switches that forward frames to any port based on their MAC address.

All models support Directed Switch mode, which directs multicast traffic (such as video) only to the appropriate uplink port, preventing multicast traffic from flooding other network ports.

Models with two fiber or two copper uplink ports support daisy-chain configurations or redundant uplinks for critical applications that require protection and sub 50ms restoration in the event of an uplink failure.

Models with two fiber or two copper uplink ports also support Dual Device mode that enables the switches to operate as two independent and isolated Ethernet switches. In Dual Device mode, the switches provide separate and independent data traffic paths between each uplink and a pair of user ports.

The RuggedNet PoE switches are available with fixed fiber ST, SC, and LC connectors or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver ports. Fiber ports support multimode or singlemode and dual fiber or single-fiber with distances up to 140km. SFPs support a variety of distances in standard and CWDM wavelengths.

The switches automatically negotiate and deliver the power level required by a Powered Device (PD) partner. Depending on the model of the RuggedNet PoE switch, the switch can deliver up to 60 or 100 Watts of power per user port.

The RuggedNet switches feature a remote PoE power reset function that can be configured with a DIP-switch. This feature allows all PDs to be power-cycled and reset remotely.

All models can be wall mounted or rack mounted using an optional wall mount bracket or DIN-rail mounted using the included DIN-rail mounting clip. They are available with single or dual DC input power options.

Examples

Dual Device Mode Application

This Dual Device feature is extremely useful when two isolated networks domains share a single network distribution location. The example below depicts a scenario where a surveillance security (purple) network and a Wi-Fi (green) network are sharing a single hub distribution location. Using the two uplinks and the Dual Switch mode facilitates using a single PoE switch driving both the Cameras and the Wi-Fi Access Points while maintaining isolation between the networks.

Daisy Chain Application

This example demonstrates the daisy chain capabilities of the RuggedNet PoE switches. In this application each RuggedNet switch connects to its neighboring switch via its uplink ports. The daisy chain can continue to additional switches using this method of connectivity.

Each RuggedNet switch provides connectivity to the fiber links, and power to IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points at each location along the daisy chain.
