DESCRIPTION
Hirschmann DRAGON MACH4X00 Layer 2/3 Backbone Ethernet Switches, HiOS Advanced Software, Redundant Power Slots - One or Two MACH4000 D4K-PSU-300W-HV (Pt #942 156-001) Power Supplies Required (Sold Separately), 19" Rackmount, 0-60 deg C.
DRAGON MACH4x00 Layer 2 and Layer 3 Backbone Switches
With these powerful Layer 2/3 switches, you can build flexible, redundant and secure backbone networks with a high bandwidth (up to 10 Gigabit).
Powerful Performance yet Simple to Use
Data density is increasing rapidly and industrial backbone networks need higher bandwidths to efficiently transport large amounts of data from the field level to the control room. The DRAGON MACH4x00 series offers superior bandwidth capabilities to meet increasing data demands. With up to eight ports that can be set-up for 2.5 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit, redundant power supplies and various management interfaces, engineers will be able to handle current and future bandwidth needs without compromising on availability.
The extended port flexibility offered by DRAGON MACH4x00 series allows engineers to progressively transition the network rather than go directly from 1 Gigabit ports to 10 Gigabit ports. No external power chassis is needed, which means engineers can use two internal redundant power supplies to reduce costs without compromising performance.
The new switches offer Hirschmann€™s operating system HiOS with Layer 2 and optionally also Layer 3 functions, giving you the ability to choose the software features at time of order.
Applications
The DRAGON MACH4x00 series is best suited for applications that require high bandwidth and reliable data transfer. In addition, with a maximum available PoE power budget of 1.2 kW, the system is ideal for demanding PoE applications where high PoE power is required. Customers looking to accomplish the following are prime candidates for the new DRAGON MACH4x00 switches:
- Connect IT and OT networks and transfer more data from the field level to the control room
- Begin a progressive transition to 10 Gigabit speeds
- Rely on fully redundant capabilities for data transmission and power input
- Provide PoE power to many end devices which consume a lot of power such as cameras, wireless access points or IP telephones
Markets
The DRAGON MACH4x00 series is best suited for transportation scenarios that require superior performance and availability, including mass transit systems, railway and train stations, airports and rail-rolling stock. Oil and gas and power transmission and distribution applications will also benefit from this new device, in addition to any manufacturing scenario, like automotive industries.
