The IFS® NS3550-8T-2S is an Industrial Gigabit Managed Switch equipped with eight 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports and two 100/1000Mbps SFP (fiber) uplink ports. These are fully managed Layer 2+ switches providing a robust industrial hardened design that provides for rapid operational recovery in the event of a network or power system failure.
The IFS Industrial Gigabit Managed Switch Series supports advanced features including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, GVRP, port link aggregation, QoS, broadcast storm control and MAC address filtering. The series also includes IGMP snooping and querying multicasting for media operations and bandwidth utilization to fit a variety of applications. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the series allows the operation of high-speed trunk operation combining multiple ports. A maximum of four ports can be assigned for four trunk groups and support fail-over as well. Additionally, its standards-compliant implementation ensures interoperability with equipment from other vendors.
These switches not only incorporate the industry standard Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1w RSTP), but also an advanced Industrial Fail-Safe (IFS) technology accommodating multiple redundant ring topologies and improved network recovery time of less than 20ms. The switches incorporate a redundant power supply system to further enhance network reliability and uptime. Ideal for use in implementing highly fault-tolerant ring and mesh network architectures, these switches are well suited for harsh environments such as industrial security, factory automation and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
With an IP-30 rated enclosure, IFS Industrial Gigabit Managed Switches provide a high level of immunity against electromagnetic (EMI) and radio-frequency (RFI) interference typically found in industrial environments. This series of switches comply with IEC60068-2-xx standards for free-fall, shock, and vibration and operate in -40° C to 75° C temperatures found in difficult environments such as plant floors or in curbside traffic control cabinets.
