Introduction

The ToughNet
TN-G6500 Series M12 managed Ethernet switches are designed for railway
applications, including rolling stock and wayside installations. The
switches use M12 and other circular connectors to ensure tight, robust
connections, and guarantee reliable operation in industrial environments
where vibration and shock are commonplace. The TN-G6500 Series Ethernet
switches provide 12 Gigabit Ethernet M12 ports; 8 ports support IEEE
802.3at/af-compliant PoE functionality. These PoE switches are classified
as power source equipment (PSE); they provide up to 30 watts of power
per port, and can be used to power IEEE 802.3at/af-compliant powered
devices (PDs), such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP
phones.

The TN-G6500 Series has push-pull
M12 connectors that are tailor-made for push-pull cables in order
to facilitate quick installation, and also allow M12 rotary cables
to be utilized. The 24 to 110 VDC wide power input range and isolated
dual power inputs not only allow you to use the same type of power
source at different sites around the globe, but also increase the
reliability of your communications system. Furthermore, the -40 to
70°C operating temperature and IP67-rated enclosure allow deployment
in harsh environments. The TN-G6512 Series Ethernet switches are compliant
with the essential sections of the EN 50155 standard, covering operating
temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, vibration, power isolation,
and includes a model with conformal coating to ensure suitability
for a variety of industrial applications.
