The EN50155-compliant KSwitch R16 offers maximum flexibility in terms of the number of individually required Ethernet ports and performance from Fast Ethernet to 10GbE thanks to its modular design. Designed and manufactured in Europe, the KSwitch R16 with robust push-pull M-12 connections enables interference-free data transmission even under difficult conditions, such as use in public transport, where vibrations, shocks, extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations can occur. The highly scalable and PTP-capable (Precision Time Protocol) KSwitch R16 enables TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) applications and the flexible, modular use of up to 16 Power-over-Ethernet ports with 100Mbit/s / 1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10 GBit/s and thus an individually scalable bandwidth utilisation of up to 64 Gbps. The fanless Ethernet switch was developed in compliance with EN50155, i.e. suitable for railway applications, and offers particularly high shock and vibration resistance. With its extremely robust design and the possibility of operation in an extended temperature range between -40 °C and +70 °C (+85 °C for a maximum of 10 minutes), the fanless KSwitch R16 is therefore suitable for particularly demanding applications in the railway environment, such as rolling stock. Increasing network security requirements are already taken into account in the design with secure configuration management via SSH, an encrypted configuration dongle and a secure operating system. Thanks to the high bandwidth with PTP support, the KSwitch R16is designed for a broad data throughput and time-synchronised operation.
