Korenix, the pioneer of industrial-grade network device, is dedicated to offer exceptional network equipment that is user-friendly, cost-effective and most importantly, measures up to customers’ expectation, releases Industrial 6-Port Managed M12/IP68 Ethernet Switch JetNet 4506-M12 specifically designed for the toughest industrial environments. The JetNet 4506-M12 Ethernet switch can be easily adopted in almost all kinds of applications and provides the most rugged solutions for managing your network in outdoor, offshore, moving vehicles, factory automation, coal mines, railway, petrochemical factories, food/beverage industries and plant floors. In combination with its IP68 design and the superb management functionality, the JetNet 4506-M12 Ethernet switch extends your managing boundaries where no other industrial Ethernet switch can go!

It is a trend that industrial Ethernet is increasingly adopted in locations with extreme harsh conditions, such as outdoor, offshore, marine, railways and moving vehicles. Industrial Ethernet is also moving from the management and control level to the front end, and field level. These environments expose Ethernet devices to severe weather, moisture, oil, dust, corrosive or flammable vapor and gases. The devices are also subjected to severe Electric Magnetic Interference (EMI), constant vibration and heavy shock or impact. JetNet 4506-M12 overcomes the challenges of these extreme environments.

JetNet 4506-M12 Ethernet switch is designed ultra rugged for the toughest industrial usage. The enclosure is made of strong, corrosion resistant, and noncombustible aluminum case. Each enclosure is designed with a thick 50mm top face plate, which makes JetNet 4506-M12 Ethernet switch able to survive from constant shock and heavy impact. The aluminum case protects JetNet 4506-M12 against corrosion in environments such as, offshore, coal mines, and petrochemical factories. The noncombustible property of the case also ensures that the JetNet 4506-M12 will not emit toxic fumes when exposed to extreme high temperatures. This is the most suitable device for applications where hygiene requirements are a real concern, such as food processing, beverage bottling or pharmaceutical manufacturing. For maximum performance, each switch includes the next generation of redundancy protocol, Rapid Super Ring. This feature allows for the configuration of any two ports for extra protection against link failure and data loss due to constant vibration and heavy shock. The JetNet 4506-M12 also includes other management features, such as port-based VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, SNMP and DHCP, for traffic isolation, deterministic transmission and network management.

Commercial RJ45 connectors are not designed for harsh environment and usually experienced to link failure and data loss under heavy industrial usages. The Ethernet switch replaces the commercial RJ45 connectors with rugged IP68 grade M12 connectors for greater protection against water and dust to eliminate link lost or data failure from constant wash down, vibration and shock. For management and maintenance, industrial Ethernet devices do not use dynamic address pools as common DHCP do, instead require specific IP addresses which map to unique MAC addresses. The DHCP Option 82 guarantees that any end node receives the same IP address every time it boots. JetNet 4506-M12 acts as a DHCP relay agent, which adds the location information to the client’s request and forwards to the DHCP server. Therefore, the DHCP server can then assign a specific IP address to the client.

JetNet 4506-M12 provides many management features, such as, port-based VLAN for network isolation, IGMP Query and snooping to prevent multicast traffic from flooding the network, QoS that guarantees timing critical packets are sent at the highest priority, DHCP which manages IP addresses automatically to reduce the maintenance effort and cost, as well as Korenix’s patented Rapid Super Ring technology to assure a constant link and eliminate data loss. For maximum performance, each switch includes the next generation of redundancy protocol, Rapid Super Ring.
