Ethernet switches with compact 16-port versions.

Harting has extended its Ha-VIS eCon range of "plug & play" industrial Ethernet switches with the introduction of new versions incorporating 16 RJ45 ports.

Designed to meet the growing demand for Ethernet-capable end devices in the field and the corresponding increase in the number of ports in Ethernet switches, the new variants allow the installation of additional communication infrastructure within production facilities to be achieved quickly, cost efficiently and flexibly. Thanks to the compact design of the Ha-VIS eCon devices, users require only a minimum of space in the electrical cabinet.

Developed and optimised for deployment in tough industrial environments, these unmanaged Ethernet switches are ideally suited to the low-cost expansion of existing network infrastructures as well as the creation of new industrial networks. With approvals for industry, the maritime market and transportation, the switches can be optimally selected for every application.

The Ha-VIS eCon switches are available in over 200 different versions, allowing users to select the exact combination of performance characteristics and port combinations to suit their particular application. Two different compact and space-saving housing designs guarantee the best possible utilisation of the available space in switching cabinets.
