Hirschmann GREYHOUND-Switch

For applications that face harsh environmental conditions and are under extreme pressure to keep both costs down and customer pricing low, the GREYHOUND switch is an ideal low-entry product. The ruggedized GREYHOUND switches have been specially designed to handle demanding electrical power generation and distribution applications, including new installations and retrofits of existing substations, where ambient temperatures can be extremely high. The de- vices also perform well in transportation and industrial automation applications. For example, with railroad optical networks, passenger and information systems in train stations, conveyor systems, as well as traffic surveillance on highways, bridges and in tunnels.

For engineers, integrators and machine builders in need of an entry-level solution, Hirschmann introduces its new GREYHOUND family of Gigabit Ethernet switches. GREYHOUND is offered in several customizable variations, depending on the customer’s copper, fiber or Gigabit port needs.

GREYHOUND is ideal for industrial businesses under pricing pressure, but that require ruggedized products to withstand extreme environmental conditions. The switches also enable customers to react quickly to changing network requirements, through flexible design and installation options, including varying port styles, more ports overall, no port location restrictions, interchangeable modules and enhanced software features.
