The Hirschmann GREYHOUND Gigabit Ethernet Switch is designed for use in harsh industrial environments with a need for cost-effective, entry-level devices.
The switch features an extended range of software features through Hirschmann's operating system, HiOS, and is flexible as network requirements evolve through its field exchangeable port modules - with copper, fiber of Gigabit port options available.
GREYHOUND is ideal for industrial businesses under pricing pressure - like power generation and distribution applications - but that also require ruggedized products to withstand extreme environmental conditions.
Flexible - Designed with the future in mind through customizable and interchangeable media modules to keep pace with evolving network needs.
Designed for industrial environments - Built to withstand high temperatures, high vibration and electrostatic discharge often found in industrial automation and power utility settings.
Reliable network availability - New management features, including redundancy protocols, diagnostic features and comprehensive security mechanisms, help networks achieve high uptime.
GREYHOUND Switch
The GREYHOUND Gigabit Ethernet switches are offered in two basic versions. The configuration options include: • 16 Fast Ethernet TX ports • Eight Fast Ethernet TX ports, plus eight Fast Ethernet small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports • It is also possible to add four Gigabit Ethernet Combo ports
The basic units offer a media module slot that allows customers to add or change ports in the field, as their network design requirements change in the future. The modules can be ordered in versions from all-copper to all-fiber, depending on the individual need.
