barox Kommunikation AG has released its new KN-LGIPR38-28AD, 24-port, 10Gb Managed Industrial Ethernet PoE+ switch.

In addition to employing extensive cybersecurity features, the KN-LGIPR38-28AD includes 90~264VAC and 57VDC power inputs.

This enables up to 720W PoE capability and power redundancy with either two DC, or one DC and one AC power supplies.

Designed in a 19-inch rack-mount format, the new KN-LGIPR38-28AD also features four SFP/SFP+ 1G/10G fibre uplink ports.

OSPFv2/v3 routing protocols also bring layer-2/3 functionality and 10Gb performance to industrial applications.

Additionally, a fanless design coupled to an extended working temperature range – covering -40 to +75°C – makes the new KN-LGIPR38-28AD robust.

IEEE 1588 V2 and PTP (Precision Time Protocol) compliance enables maximum flexibility in system design for installers and end-users.

The KN-LGIPR38-28AD also supports Jumbo frames at 100 Mbit/s and the switch can be configured to send an SNMP message as a real-time alert.

“Greater customer security”

Rudolf Rohr, Co-founder & Managing Partner, barox said: “barox’s expertise in the video and data transmission sector has produced a real industry-leading design, delivering layer-2/3 functionality with 10Gb capability, whilst providing customers with cutting-edge Ethernet and PoE transmission technology – all in a 24-port format.

“With these features, the new barox KN-LGIPR38-28AD ensures greater customer security and system-design flexibility – all alongside the usual barox easy set-up and configuration.”

Power of Ethernet functionality

The KN-LGIPR38-28AD features a PoE ‘Keep Alive’ function that checks whether the end device is still reachable.

This is an important facet for high-security applications and ensures that cameras stay operational.

If not, PoE is restarted according to its set-up configuration.

Preventing the PoE power supply from being overloaded, when the switch is powered up, the individual PoE ports can be set to start-up with a time delay.

Other features include a PoE timer and priority control.

Safety features include active management of KN-LGIPR38-28AD, active and graphical long-term monitoring of the PoE power supply and active camera/device monitoring.
