Network Interface Device for Connected Devices
The LMP-0702G-SFP-24-T-V2 is an environmentally hardened Layer 3 managed Ethernet switch, designed primarily for industrial applications that require robust performance and high reliability in harsh environments.
Key Features
- Environmental Resistance: The device is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, including wide temperature ranges, shock, vibration, and ingress from dust and water (IP30 protection standard). This makes it highly reliable in outdoor or factory-floor deployments.
- PoE Capabilities: The switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to power connected devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and industrial sensors directly through the Ethernet cable. This simplifies cabling and installation in industrial setups.
- Redundancy Protocol: It incorporates the ITU-T G.8032 ERPS redundancy protocol, ensuring continuous network availability and resilience against single points of failure. In case of communication failure, the switchover to the redundant path occurs within 50ms.
- Advanced Networking Capabilities: As a Layer 3 switch, it supports advanced routing features such as static routing, dynamic routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, RIP), VLAN segmentation, and comprehensive network management. This enables sophisticated traffic control and network design flexibility.
Ideal Applications
- Industrial Automation and Control Systems: The LMP-0702G-SFP-24-T-V2 is suitable for industrial automation and control systems where reliable network infrastructure is critical.
- Extreme Environments: It is designed for use in environments demanding environmental resistance, such as extreme temperatures, dust, vibrations, and humidity.
- Mission-Critical Networks: The switch is ideal for mission-critical networks in sectors like transportation, energy, and manufacturing, where network uptime and resilience are essential.
With its robust design, PoE capabilities, redundancy protocol, and environmental resistance, the LMP-0702G-SFP-24-T-V2 is recognized for its robustness and advanced industrial networking features, making it a top choice for demanding industrial network environments.
