Ethernet Switches and Media Converters have industrial grade design.
December 1, 2010 -
Comprised of Ethernet switches, media converters, and PoE switches, i-line is optimized for machine building, building/factory automation, and CCTV surveillance applications. All are DIN rail mountable and use industry-grade components. Configurable relay triggers alarm signal for port or power events, and dual 24 Vdc power screw terminal inputs accommodate applications where secondary power source is used to maintain system integrity. IP31 aluminum alloy enclosure is standard.

Westermo Announces the Launch of the i-line Family of Ethernet Products
Westermo announces the launch of the i-line family of Ethernet products optimized for machine building, building automation, factory automation and CCTV surveillance applications. The new range includes standard and compact Ethernet switches, media converters and Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.
The Westermo i-line offers industry grade components, easy-to-use features, and reliable and consistent operation. All i-line devices are DIN rail mountable and have dual 24VDC power screw terminal inputs making them suitable for applications where a secondary power source is used to maintain high system integrity. Each device in the range incorporates a configurable relay that triggers an alarm signal for port or power events. The rugged IP-31 rated aluminium alloy enclosure is ideal for heat dissipation and enables a wide operating temperature range.
Among the products being introduced is a standard eight port 10/100TX Fast Ethernet switch (SDI-880). This is equipped with a 2 Gbit/s packet switch engine that supports two priority queues so as to provide optimum data forwarding performance. A second eight port Ethernet fibre switch (SDI-862) has six 10/100TX ports and a choice of either two multimode or single mode fibre ports, enabling data to be transmitted for distances up to 2km or 30km respectively.
Two compact (111.8 mm x 30 mm x 98.2 mm) five port switches are also available. The SDI-550 is a simple 5-port 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch, whilst the SDI-541 is a five port industrial fast Ethernet switch with four 10/100Base-TX ports and a 100Base-FX port supporting both single and multimode fibre. Both models can operate with variable power sources including a 24VAC supply, making them ideal for the building automation industry.
The i-line family also includes two PoE switches designed to ensure high-bandwidth uplink connection for large-scale surveillance in transportation system networks. Models with either four or eight IEEE 802.3af Fast Ethernet PoE ports are available, both offering 2 Gigabit uplink ports. An integrated 12 V to 48 V power booster makes the units ideal to support the deployment of standard PoE IP cameras on buses, trains and ships.
Completing the i-line range is a selection of Ethernet media converters. The MCI-211G converts 10/100/100TX to Gigabit fibre and its hot swappable Small Form-factor Plugable (SFP) fibre receiver allows the unit to operate over almost any type and distance of fibre supported by SFP. The MCI-422 model is not only a 2 channel RJ45 to fibre media converter, but also a compact 4-port 10/100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet switch. The unit is simply configured as either device using a DIP switch. The device supports either multimode or single mode fibre.
