Overview

The ToughNet TN-G6512 series of M12 manag ed Eth ern et s witches are
designed for railway applications, including r olling stock and wayside
installations. The switches use M12 and other circular connectors to
ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee reliable operatio n in
industrial environments where vibration and shock are commonplace.
The TN-G6512 series of Ethernet switches provide 12 gigabit Ethernet
M12 ports; 8 ports support IEEE 802.3at/af compliant PoE functionality.
These PoE switches are cl assified as power source equipm ent (PSE); they
provide up to 30 watts of power per port, and can be used to power IEEE

802.3at/af co mp l iant powered devices (PDs), such as IP came r as,
wireless access points, and IP phones.

The TN-G6512 Series has push-pull M12 connectors that are tailor-made
for push-pull cables in order to facilitate quick installation, and also allow
M12 rotary cables to be utilized. The 24 to 110 VDC wide power input
range and isolated dual power inputs not only allow the same type of
power source at diff eren t sites around the globe, but also increase the
reliability of communications systems. Furthermore, the -40 to 70°C
operating temperature capability and IP67-rated enclosure make the
switches suitable for deployment in harsh environments. The TN-G6512
series of Ethernet switches are compliant with the essential sections of EN
50155, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD,
and vibration, as well as conformal coating and power insulation, which
makes the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
