EL326 Layer 3 Industrial Ethernet Switch
ExtremeLine Managed Industrial Connectivity
The Sixnet EL326 is a Layer 3 rack-mount managed industrial Ethernet switch with advanced
capabilities, designed to meet the performance requirements of power substations, trafc
control, railway and other mission-critical networks. Combining the high availability and
security of an enterprise-class switch with rugged packaging and protected circuitry, the
EL326 easily handles even the most bandwidth intensive applications.
Deployment exibility is guaranteed through Ethernet link speeds ranging from 10Mb/s to
10Gb/s. With 24 ports of Gigabit Ethernet – including four combo SFP ports that support
either copper or ber links – the EL326 industrial switch seamlessly scales to address growing
network requirements. Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and dedicated stacking ports
enable the stacking of up to eight switches, providing the ability to add additional switch
capacity and redundancy as required. This reduces initial infrastructure costs while providing
longer term scalability.

INDUSTRIAL SWITCHING
Sixnet’s industrial Ethernet switches
combine enterprise-class performance
with rugged reliability to provide a “best
of both worlds” solution for many of
today’s industrial applications. Our
hardened switches are ideally suited for
harsh and outdoor environments that
include power substations, Smart Grid,
military, utility, transportation and other
industries where real-time performance
under extreme operating conditions is
required. Built-in redundancy coupled
with advanced security and network
management ensures the infrastructure
stays up and running while providing
tools for monitoring and tracking.
