| New 32p switch is cool in extreme temperatures New Magnum 6K32TRC managed Ethernet switch builds on the Gigabit port accessibility of its companion 6K32T managed switch with the first free-convection-cooled high-port-count industrial switch. This opens up un-clean control rooms, substations, and plant operations areas to larger and more powerful Ethernet switches that can withstand dusty, high-particulate-count environments that could cause early fan-failure. The 6K32TRC retains the high flexibility, and low cost-per-port of the fan-cooled 6K32T, permitting up to four Gigabit (Gb) ports to be added in a number of configurations. For more than five years, GarrettCom has recognized a need for both free- and forced-convection thermal designs, permitting their Magnum switches to operate reliably in a wider range of applications than manufacturers wedded to a single design strategy. While free-convection cooling has been a popular design choice for many small industrial switches which have sometimes been used where high air-borne pollutant levels are an issue, the new 6K32TRC is the first large rack-mount 32-port industrial switch that is free-convection cooled. New static thermal design breakthroughs from GarrettCom make this possible. The 6K32TRC is a highly flexible entry in GarrettCom's 6K Managed Switch Series that is hardened for factories and other heavy duty environments. With the growing need for Gigabit throughput, the new 6K32TRC switch offers the greatest configuration flexibility and the highest Gb capability in its price class. User-selectable Gigabit transceiver modules, auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Gigabit. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
