Hirschmann BOBCAT Next Generation Managed Switches

Every year, the number of devices requiring greater bandwidth to remain reliable and well-connected increases. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Managed Switch is built to help manufacturers keep pace with this change and build next generation networks.

The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches, including high-port count variants, are designed to meet rising bandwidth needs, enabling more connected devices on the network through a compact, yet powerful solution. With real-time communication using TSN, the switches maximize performance and security, even under demanding conditions.

These managed switches also allow for expanded bandwidth capabilities with the the option to adjust the SFPs from 100Mb, 1Gb and 2.5Gb (speeds dependent on BOBCAT series) requiring no change to the appliance.

Enhanced network security is another critical component of any future-facing network. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches support HiOS software and feature several compelling security elements, including IEEE 802.1x port-based access control, varying privilege levels, configurable password policies, security status monitor and audit trails.

Applications

The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches are an ideal solution for classic automation applications that require real-time communication, advanced security, low latency, and the simultaneous synchronization of data and information to control operations.

In addition, the high-port density options support a growing number of network devices, while the PoE option can power the growing demand of energy-hungry devices, such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras or wireless access points. The appliance is best for engineers, system integrators and machine builders looking for a powerful and future-proof device.

Markets

With advanced security and real-time communication features, the compact managed switches are an essential appliance relevant to many industrial markets, including automotive, manufacturing, machine building, water management, and oil and gas.

The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches are also applicable in transportation and power management applications, helping to deliver critical real-time information, like deterministic signaling and energy flow. With trackside approval according to EN50121, the switches can also be deployed in transportation, mass transit systems, and railway and train stations.

The high bandwidth and port count, combined with a ruggedized design, are ideal for airports and seaports as well.
