Hirschmann RED25 Entry-level Redundancy Switches

Cost-effective, customizable switches for industries in

need of redundancy and security

The RED25 entry-level, Fast Ethernet redundancy switches are designed

for industrial automation applications in need of cost-effective and

high-end redundant network solutions. In addition to support for various

redundancy technologies like Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and

High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) the RED25 switches have

comprehensive built-in security features. Other redundancy technologies

like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Media Redundancy Protocol

(MRP) allow the switches to connect to existing networks and Device

Level Ring (DLR) redundancy ensures a recovery time within milliseconds.

The switches are also customizable based on specific port needs or

environmental factors, such as temperature range.

RED25 switches are based on the Hirschmann operating system (HiOS)

software and offer a comprehensive range of security features. To offer

flexibility for network administrators, the switches are available in two

four-port versions: four Fast Ethernet TX ports or two Fast Ethernet TX

ports, plus two Fast Ethernet small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports.

Based on Hirschmann Operating System (HiOS) software, RED25 supports

several redundancy technologies, while offering a comprehensive range of

security features.

This Fast Ethernet (FE) switch is offered in two, four-port versions:

• Four FE TX ports

• Two FE TX ports, plus two FE small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports

The SFP-based fiber support enables a flexible network structure by allowing

to change fiber ports in the field. A comprehensive set of security features

also offers all-around network protection.

The RED25 switches guarantee a reliable network of applications with rigorous

real-time requirements in accordance with IEEE 1588 v2. Further features

include an extended operating temperature range from -40 ˚C to +70 ˚C,

broad immunity to electrostatic discharges and high-vibration resistance.
