The new HARTING eCon 2160-A is a compact, robust and cost-effective industrial Ethernet switch that allows the connection of up to 16 Ethernet ports in a very small space. The new unit operates as an unmanaged switch in store-and-forward switching mode, and incorporates auto-negotiation, auto-crossing and auto-polarity functions that make it fully 'plug and play'.
The robust aluminium housing and the wide operating temperature range(from -10°C to +70°C) make the eCon 2160-A ideal for use in industrial environments. Integrated LEDs on each port of the Ethernet switch makes network diagnosis fast and easy. The eCon 2000 product family also includes Ethernet switches with five, four and three ports respectively.
