NT24k®-12FX4 Industrial Ethernet Switch
N-Tron® Networking Series
Industrial Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Red Lion’s N-Tron® series NT24k®-12FX4 compact managed
Gigabit Ethernet switch features eight 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
ports and four 100Base-FX ber ports with SC or ST
connectors, providing a reliable and secure communication
network to equipment in harsh environments.
The versatile NT24k-12FX4 managed switch features 12 ports (eight Gigabit copper ports and
four 100Base-FX fiber ports) and is housed in a compact, hardened metal DIN-rail enclosure with
redundant 10-49 VDC power inputs. Designed to handle the most demanding environments,
the NT24k-12FX4 offers wire-speed throughput, expanded shock and vibration ratings and
wide -40° to 85°C operating temperature rating. IGMP auto-configuration, IEEE 802.1x with
RADIUS remote server authentication and N-Ring™ fast healing ring technology ensure quick
deployment and robust secure network communications in alternative energy, factory automation
applications, transportation and water/wastewater.
