Overview
The ToughNet TN-4500A Series M12 managed Ethernet switches are
designed for industrial applications in harsh environments. The TN
Series switches use M12 connectors to ensure tight, robust
connections, and guarantee reliable operation against environmental
disturbances, such as vibration and shock. The wide 24 to 110 VDC
dual power inputs increases the reliability of your communications.
The TN-4500A Series includes PoE, non-PoE, and fiber switches.
•TN-4512A non-PoE Series: 12 Fast Ethernet M12 ports.
•TN-4516A non-PoE Series: 16 Fast Ethernet M12 ports or 12 Fast
Ethernet with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports. For 4GTXBP models, 4
Gigabit ports support bypass relay functionality.
•TN-4516A PoE Series: 12 Fast Ethernet M12 ports with PoE
functionality and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE functionality. For
2GTXBP models, 2 out of 4 Gigabit ports support bypass relay
functionality.
•TN-4516A fiber Series: 12 Fast Ethernet M12 ports with PoE
functionality and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE functionality; 2
Gigabit Ethernet ports with a Q-ODC fiber connector.
•TN-4520A PoE Series: 16 Fast Ethernet M12 ports with PoE
functionality and 4 Gigabit Ethernet with PoE functionality.
•TN-4524A PoE Series: 24 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, including 16
with PoE functionality.
•TN-4528A PoE Series: 24 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, including 16
with PoE functionality and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE
functionality. For 2GTXBP models, 2 out of 4 Gigabit ports support
bypass relay functionality.
•TN-4528A fiber Series: 24 Fast Ethernet M12 ports, including 16
with PoE functionality and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE
functionality; 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports with a Q-ODC fiber
connector.
The -40 to 75°C operating temperature and IP42-rated waterproof
enclosure allow deployment in harsh environments. The TN-4500A
Series Ethernet switches are compliant with mandatory sections of EN
50155, covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge,
ESD, and vibration, as well as conformal coating and power insulation,
making the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
