The Hirschmann RS20-1600L2L2SDAU is a high-performance industrial Ethernet switch engineered for mission-critical applications requiring extended-distance fiber optic connectivity with redundant links. This robust switch combines dual long-haul single-mode fiber ports with comprehensive copper connectivity, making it ideal for creating reliable network backbones over vast geographical areas in harsh industrial environments.

Key Features and Product Highlights

• Dual Long-Haul Fiber Uplinks: Features 2 independent 100Base-FX Long Haul single-mode SC ports capable of transmission distances up to 80 km each, enabling redundant backbone connections or point-to-point links to two separate remote locations with exceptional signal integrity over extended distances.

• High-Density Copper Connectivity: Provides 14x 10/100Base-TX RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX for direct connection of field devices, controllers, and sensors, offering substantial local network access alongside the fiber backbone.

• Maximum Environmental Ruggedness: Built with IP30-rated metal housing and an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme conditions including dust, moisture, vibration, and wide thermal variations.

• Enhanced Network Reliability: The dual long-haul fiber ports support redundant ring or star topologies, significantly increasing network availability. Combined with dual redundant 24V DC power inputs, this design minimizes single points of failure.

• Zero-Configuration Operation: Unmanaged plug-and-play functionality with store-and-forward switching ensures fast, straightforward deployment without the need for complex setup or ongoing management.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Critical Infrastructure Networks: Power transmission substations, water treatment plants, and oil & gas pipeline monitoring systems requiring redundant long-distance links.

• Wide-Area Transportation Systems: Railway signaling networks between distant control centers and trackside equipment, or intelligent highway systems with extended tunnel monitoring.

• Remote Industrial Sites: Mining operations, offshore platforms, and renewable energy farms (wind/solar) where equipment is spread over large areas and reliability is paramount.

• Public Safety & Security: Long-distance video surveillance networks for border security, critical facility perimeter protection, and city-wide traffic management systems.

• Distributed Utility SCADA: Supervisory control and data acquisition systems for geographically dispersed assets in electricity, water, or gas distribution networks.

Why Choose Hirschmann RS20-1600L2L2SDAU?

• Unmatched Distance & Redundancy: Dual long-haul ports provide both extended reach and link redundancy, crucial for mission-critical operations in remote locations.

• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: Eliminates the need for additional signal boosters or separate media conversion equipment, simplifying the network architecture and reducing maintenance.
