As global climate change intensifies, networking devices need to adapt to more frequent and severe climate extremes in order to provide reliable connectivity. This is why ORing has developed the TGPS-W9082GF-MM-M12X-QS-MV-IP54, an industrial-grade Ethernet switch featuring the world’s smallest and most robust Q-ODC connectors to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications. With EN50155 compliance, the switch is ideal for railway, vehicle, and rolling stock applications.

The TGPS-W9082GF-MM-M12X-QS-MV-IP54 comes with eight Gigabit Ethernet copper ports in X-coded M12 connector and two Gigabit fiber ports in Q-ODC connectors. The Ethernet ports are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard which allows for delivery of power over Ethernet up to 30W per port. With scheduled configuration and PoE auto-ping check support, users can manage PoE power in an efficient and convenient way. The switch also provides PoE power on delay function. Usually, when multiple PoE devices are connected to the switch, simultaneous power-on of these devices may result in an overload of the switch power supply, triggering the power supply overload protection. With PoE power on delay function, this problem can be avoided as users can postpone the port to feed power to the PD for a period of time when the switch is booted up. This function also eliminates video streaming traffic jam when applied for IP surveillance application.

The connections are further enhanced with Huber+Suhner’s Q-ODC connectors. Featuring outstanding water and dust protection as well as corrosion and vibration resistance, the compact fiber connector, claimed to be the world’s smallest and most robust design, significantly enhances the robustness and durability of the switch. In addition, the push-pull coupling design of the connector makes connecting and disconnecting a no brainer since only two defined mating states are possible, either mated or unmated.

With a robust hardware design accompanied by a wide operating temperature, Q-ODC connectors, M12 connectors, an IP54 housing, and easy-to-use software tools, the TGPS-W9082GF-MM-M12X-QS-MV-IP54 is definitely the best choice for system integrators in search of cost-effective solutions for applications with demanding requirements.
