6KQEP-48VDC GarrettCom Industrial Ethernet Managed Field Switch

The GarrettCom Magnum 6KQ Series Industrial Ethernet Managed Field Switches provide maximum configurability in their class. The fiber-rich 6KQ can be configured with up to 12 100Mb fiber ports and two Gigabit ports. For 10/100 copper, regular or PoE-equipped 10/100 RJ-45 or 10/100/1000 copper ports may be configured to a maximum of 12 at 10/100 and 2 Gig ports.

GarrettCom offers the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software featuring GUI ease of use, Secure Web Management, SNMPv2,v3 management, 802.1p QoS Prioritization, Tag-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and IGMP-L2 multicast management, port security, and a choice of software redundancy options including RSTP-2004 with industry-leading fault recovery times in rings and meshes, and GarrettCom's S-Ring product which supports unmanaged switches as part of resilient rings. MNS-6K-SECURE adds more security features such as SSH, RADIUS and TACACS+ support, SFTP, DHCP Server, Syslog events, and SNTP Server. Over 10 years of field use in industrial networking applications assures maturity and stability.

Magnum 6KQs are ideal for building a switched, hardened Ethernet network infrastructure, connecting edge devices such as PLCs and IEDs with upstream switches or routers. It is designed for use in industrial applications such as factory floors and control cabinets, industrial video surveillance systems with PoE, power utility substations, tariffed carrier field facilities, or transportation and oil and gas.

Advanced patent pending thermal design techniques use the 6KQ's metal case as a heat sink. The unique ribbed-surface aluminum case offers maximum heat dissipation without fans to keep internal components cool and reliable. This sealed-case design enables the unit to operate in the harshest industrial grade environments and achieves high EMI noise immunity. The 6KQ is manufactured with Conformal Coating options and rated IP52 for dust and water resistance.

The 6KQ can be configured with the user's choice of DC power supplies: 12V and 24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and for PoE-powered applications such as video surveillance, and 125V or 250V for power utility substations. External AC power supplies are optional.

Like all Magnum products, the 6KQ Field Switch has all appropriate agency approvals and compliance certifications, including: third-party UL testing for safety and temperature rating, NEBS L3 compliance, IEC 61850 & IEEE 1613 for power utilities, and NEMA TS-2 for use outdoors.
