OVERVIEW
The Ethernet switches in your wiring closet or computer
center enjoy a protected environment. The Ethernet switches
at the edges of your network have to put up with the bumps,
the dirt, the dampness, and the temperature fluctuations that
happen out in the real world. This is where Heavy-Duty Edge
Switches from Black Box come in.
Heavy-Duty Edge Switches are tough, 6-port Ethernet
switches that enable you to expand your network into harsh
environments such as factory floors or the outdoors. They’re
robust, easy to set up, and available with a vast array of
interface, power, and durability options. In short, they’re
everything you’re looking for in an edge switch.
Built tough
All Heavy-Duty Edge Switches come in a sturdy steel case
that withstands heavy use.
The switches come in three versions to adapt to nearly
any environment. Because all three types work together
seamlessly, you can use inexpensive Standard Heavy-Duty
Edge Switches in protected office environments and choose
the more robust Hardened or Extreme Heavy-Duty Edge
Switches for harsh locations at your network’s edge.
Standard Edge Switches
• For use in clean, temperature-controlled environments
such as offices and wiring closets.
• Feature the same heavyweight metal case as our more
robust models.
Hardened Edge Switches
• For use in dusty or dirty environments—ideal for
demanding industrial applications.
• Rated for a temperature range between -13 and +140°F
(-25 and +60°C).
• The metal case acts as a heat sink so no internal airflow
is needed for cooling.
• Sealed case resists contaminants such as dust, dirt, moisture,
smoke, and insects.
Extreme Edge Switches
• Robust units for outdoor use require protection only from
direct rainfall or standing water.
• Ideal for applications such as traffic-signal control, or for
sensors or surveillance cameras in outdoor plants.
• Rated for above-the-ceiling plenum installation.
• Rated for extreme temperature ranges of -40 to +167°F
(-40 to +75°C).
• Features a sealed case, which uses its own metal shell as a
heat sink.
Multiple power options
• Standard models come with AC power adapters only,
in a choice of 115 or 240 VAC.
• AC-powered Hardened and Extreme Switches feature
robust 100- to 240-VAC power supplies.
• DC-powered Hardened and Extreme units have internal
screw terminals for connecting DC power in addition to
an AC power jack. Because these models have dual power
connections, you can use them simultaneously with both
your DC power supply and an AC power adapter (sold
separately) to provide redundant power input.
