Red Lion® Introduces New N-Tron® NT116 Unmanaged 16-Port Industrial Ethernet Switch

From 3 to 5 July, the 2024 Shanghai World Automotive Manufacturing Technology and Equipment and Materials Expo (AMTS) kicked off at the Shanghai New World Expo Centre, with Festo, the world's leading industrial automation and education and training company, presenting the theme of "Digital Electricity and Dual Drive, Smart Value".

The world's leading industrial automation and education and training enterprise Festo ( Festo ) to "digital and electric double drive, intelligent value" as the theme, the

Relying on digital, electrification, automation skills, with the car industry one-stop innovative solutions to appear in the exhibition, and partners to discuss the "digital" and "intelligent" transformation, and explore the sustainable development of the car production industry.

The switch can provide excellent functionality and reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Red Lion Controls, a manufacturer of innovative technologies that provide industrial organisations with the ability to access, connect and visualise data, announced the launch of the N-Tron® NT1111 switch.

announced the release of the N-Tron® NT116 Non-Handled Industrial Ethernet Switch, designed for industrial use where robust functionality is required in harsh conditions.

The NT116 unmanaged switch provides superior reliability and functionality for data acquisition, Ethernet I/O and process control.

The compact size of the device is equipped with 16 highly functional copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) in a rugged industrial metal housing.

The NT116 is highly resistant to shock and vibration, and all ports have integrated ESD and surge protection.

With an excellent 1.2M hours MTBF rating and a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, the NT116 provides reliable functionality in limited spaces.

For strong network support, the NT116 supports full wire-speed communication throughput up to 3.2 Gb/s. The device uses store-and-forward technology.

The device uses store-and-forward technology and supports full- and half-duplex operation.

Two 10-49 VDC power inputs are provided for redundancy.

The N-Tron® NT116 is the latest version of the Red Lion 116TX unprocessed industrial Ethernet switch.

In addition to being IEEE 802.3 compliant and certified for marine, rail, and roll-on/roll-off vehicles, the new switch is UL General and Hazardous Location certified.

Red Lion's new N-Tron NT116 makes it easy to collect critical functional data.

Its ruggedised design provides the durability and reliability required in extreme environments such as factory floor control networks as well as oil and gas, utilities, wastewater, renewable energy, railways, intelligent traffic control and transport applications.

When industrial plant operators and business leaders have seamless and easy access to their data, they get more value out of it," said Diane Davis, product manager.

they derive greater value from it. the N-Tron® NT116 Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch advances power and drives improved operational performance by minimising downtime and improving throughput."
