INS News: Axiomtek introduced the iCON-78000 series of industrial harden managed PoE Ethernet switches.

10-port 10/100Base Hardened Managed PoE Ethernet Switches with 2 Gigabit Ports, α-ring and Wide Temperature


Axiomtek introduced the iCON-78000 series of industrial harden managed PoE Ethernet switches with a wide operating temperature range (-40ºC ~ +75ºC) for extreme environment used. The iCON-78000 series not only features eight PoE ports but also provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10/100base-FX ports. Supporting Power-over-Ethernet on ports 1 to 8, the iCON-78000 series can power IEEE802.3af compliant devices and transmit data simultaneously, which helps save wiring costs and makes it ideally suited for outdoor applications such as PoE IP camera, PoE Access Point and intercoms. To provide non-stop Ethernet connection, the iCON-78000 series supports α-ring technology which provides fast network recovery within 15ms. iCON-78000 complies with Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) 508 and Class I Division 2 for operation in hazardous environments.

Hazardous environments are defined by the National Electrical Code as those areas where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases or vapor, flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable substances. Electronic products must meet certain requirements and obtain special certifications in order to be used in these environments.

UL 508 is a safety standard for industrial control equipment and it covers the requirements for devices rated 1500 volts or less, products intended for use in an ambient temperature specifically indicated for use in other conditions and industrial control panels that are as assemblies of industrial control devices and other devices associated with the control of motor operated and the related industrial equipment.
Key features:
• Is especially designed for mission critical applications and hazardous locations
• Complies with IEC61000-6-2 EMC generic standard immunity for industrial environment
• Complies with Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) 508 for operation in hazardous environments
• Flexible and cost-effective solution for device manufacturers to speedily transform existing devices
• Supports advanced features such as 802.1Q VLAN, port trunking, IGMP snooping, rapid spanning tree for redundancy, QoS for priority queuing and port mirroring
• Choice of SNMP/RMON, web browser or telnet for remote monitoring and configuration
• Supports rate control, which allows users to set the maximum bandwidth on each port individually
• Equipped with a 48 VDC redundant power input via a terminal block or power jack
• Secured with Power Polarity Reverse and an Overload Current Resettable Fuse
• Features front-facing LED indicators that provide link activity, transmission speed and PoE output status for ease of maintenance
• Device can be DIN-rail, panel or rack-mounted to fit various application requirements
The iCON-78000 series of managed PoE Ethernet switches meets Safety Agency requirements and has passed heavy industrial EMI/EMS testing.
