Industrial Managed Ethernet Switch features IP67/68 rating.

Press Release Summary:



Designed for industrial applications, 10-port Whale Series WME-821-M12 has eight 10/100Base-T(X) M12 ports and 2 multi-mode fiber ports for transmitting data over distances up to 2 km with LC connector. Switch provides redundant self-recovery mechanism in less than 10 ms on full load, which allows user to establish stable redundant Ethernet network to build up back-up ring. With network management functions, WME-821-M12 can be remotely configured by web browser and managed by SNMP.



Original Press Release:



Ethernet Direct Pioneers in WME-821-M12 Industrial 10-Port Managed Ethernet M12 IP67 Switch with Fiber Ports



Taipei, Taiwan - Ethernet Direct Corporation, a professional and primary provider of industrial networking and communication solutions, is pleased to release a uniquely design ten port Industrial M12 Managed Ethernet Switch designed for the toughest industrial applications and comes with IP-67/68 rating.

The Whale Series WME-821-M12 is a highly reliable and robust Industrial 10-port IP67 M12 Managed Ethernet Switch. It has 8 10/100Base-T(X) M12 ports and two multi-mode fiber ports. With the fiber ports, WME-821-M12 transmits data at high speed for long distance up to 2 km with an LC connector.WME-821-M12 provides redundant self-recovery mechanism in less than 10ms on full load which allows user to establish a stable redundant Ethernet network to build up a back-up ring. With powerful network management functions, WME-821-M12 can be remotely configured by a web browser, managed by SNMP. Event notification can be defined via SNMP trap, Syslog, relay output or E-mail. Security is enhanced with advanced features like port-based VLAN, tagged VLAN, and IP security. Performance is optimized by Quality of Service, and IGMP Snooping/Querying. Its IP-67 housing, M12 connectors, and wide operating temperature range of -40 to 80° are ideal for the harshest industrial environments.

Ethernet Direct Industrial M12 switch series come with revolutionized a new design concept to be deployed in applications that require environment protection such as outdoor locations including transportation (railways, moving vehicles, highways), mining sites, factory automation, petrochemical plants, metal industries, oil & gas, military applications, chemical processing and food and beverage industries.
