Case Communications Industrial Switch series are designed with three unique hardware features:

1. They are capable of using AC power adapters

2. Terminal block is placed on the bottom of device to isolate dust and water proof

3. Power Supplies Auto detect with DC12V to 48V.

Case Communications Industrial Switches are designed to work in critial network environment using IP 30 enclosures and tested to extensive Industrial EMI and Safety standards.

Each Case Communications Switch has passed a 1.2KVA Hi-Pot abnormality test.

X-Ring technology
The IFE 2GB8T-MX uses the patent-pending "X-Ring" feature which provides an auto-recovery-path within 300ms when the primary network path has failed. The ring can be established with up to twenty (20) Industrial Switches.

 

See X-Ring application examples

Case Communications Dual-Homing feature can ensure two X-Ring groups with redundant back up when connected to a backbone switch.

Case Communications Switches can set to 'Back-up Masters' in a X-Ring to ensure the most secure network.

The Case Communications IFE 2GB8T-MX is a 8x10/ 100TX + 2 10/ 100/ 1000T/ mini-GBIC Combo w/X-Ring Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch with SNMP Management. The mini-GBIC slots are able to connect 100/1000M Fibre SFP transceivers.

Features include QoS for 4 queues, 801.q VLAN, IGMP snooping and query mode as well as SNTP and SMTP.

An Industrial Switch relay contact to Alarm system can immediately notify of Power failure and/or Port down events. In case of events, the Case Communications IFE 2GB8T-MX will immediately send an email to a pre-defined addresses.

The IFE 2GB8T-MX is ideal for use in Automation, Transportation, Semi-conductor manufacturing and heavy industrial factory and other factory assembly lines.

The IFE 2GB8T-MX is particulary suitable for real IP-multicasting with Video Encoder/Decoder for Traffic Control, MOD application.
