The N-Tron NT110-FX2, an unmanaged Ethernet switch with two fiber ports, the NT111-FX3, an unmanaged Ethernet switch with three fiber ports, and the NT112-FX4, an unmanaged Ethernet switch with four fiber ports, are being introduced by HMS Networks. These switches are intended for industrial applications that require reliable performance for mission-critical applications under challenging conditions.
The new NT100 unmanaged series provides outstanding performance and dependability for process control, Ethernet I/O, and data gathering.
Designed For Harsh Environments
The switches are built in robust industrial metal enclosures and have eight high performance copper ports (10/100BaseTX RJ45) and two, three, or four 100BaseFX fiber ports. High shock and vibration endurance is provided by the new switches. ESD and surge protection are integrated into the RJ45 ports.
Multimode or singlemode fiber ports with SC or ST connectors are available. at sleek, compact designs that function at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, users enjoy an outstanding 1.2M hour MTBF rating.
The NT110-FX2, NT111-FX3, and NT112-FX4 unmanaged switches provide full wire speed connectivity for reliable network support. With capability for both full and half duplex operation, each model uses store-and-forward technology. For redundancy, two 10-49 VDC power inputs are included.
The NT100 series is the next advancement in N-Tron’s unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, following the flagship 16-port copper unmanaged NT116 switch, which was introduced in 2024. In addition to IEEE 802.3 compliance, marine, railway, and rolling stock certifications, the new switches are certified for UL Ordinary and Hazardous sites, ATEX, and IECEx.
Critical Performance Data Now Easy To Gather
Critical performance data is easy to gather with HMS Networks’ N-Tron NT100 series. In addition to oil and gas, utilities, water/wastewater treatment, alternative energy, rail, intelligent traffic control, and transportation applications, their tough and hardened designs offer the resilience and dependability required to endure the harsh conditions found on factory floor control networks.
Leadership Comments
“For decades, N-Tron has stood for ruggedness, reliability and ease of use. The NT100 series continues that tradition, delivering durable switches that thrive in extreme environments, maintain rock-solid uptime, and are simple to deploy. Designed with the needs of machine builders and OEMs in mind—while serving the broader demands of industrial applications—the NT100 series is ready to keep critical operations running in any environment,” said Barry Turner, N-Tron Product Manager.
