Rugged industrial managed Ethernet switch
14 x RJ45, 12 x Fibre, 2 x Gigabit, 8 x PoE | 6KQ GarrettCom Europe

6KQ Managed Field Switches provide maximum configurability in their class. The fibre-rich 6KQ can be configured with up to 12 100Mb fibre ports and two Gigabit ports. For 10/100 copper, regular or PoE-equipped 10/100 RJ-45 or 10/100/1000 copper ports may be configured to a maximum or 12 at 10/100 and 2 Gig ports. 6KQ comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software featuring GUI ease of use, Secure Web Management, SNMPv2,v3 management, 802.1p QoS Prioritisation, Tag-based VLAN's, IGMP Snooping and IGMP-L2 multicast management, port security, RADIUS and TACACS+ support, and a choice of redundancy options including RSTP and GarrettCom's rapid-ring-recovery S-Ring and RS-Ring products. See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) datasheet for more information.

6KQ's are ideal for building a switched, hardened Ethernet network infrastructure, connecting edge devices such as PLC's and IED's with upstream switches or routers. Designed for use in industrial applications such as factory floors and control cabinets, industrial video surveillance systems with PoE, power utility substations, tariffed carrier field facilities, or transportation and oil and gas, the rugged 6KQ handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic) as well as harsh environmental conditions.

Advanced patent pending thermal design techniques use the 6KQ's metal case as a heat sink. The unique ribbed-surface aluminium case offers maximum heat dissipation without fans to keep internal components cool and reliable. This sealed-case design enables the unit to operate in the harshest industrial grade environments and achieves high EMI noise immunity.
