As an additional gigabit model for the vendor’s fully-managed compact Industrial Ethernet switch series, the 7012FX2 provides eight copper ports, two fiber ports and two gigabit ports (SFP transceivers optional) for maximum flexibility in industrial environments.
With support for multiple fiber connections, the 7012FX2 provides the expanded capabilities needed to handle the higher speeds and larger data files inherent in high-bandwidth networks while maintaining the toughness required to operate in extreme environments, says the vendor. The 7012FX2 is housed in a compact, hardened-metal enclosure and provides extended environmental tolerances to temperature, vibration, shock and noise immunity. The product line carries a MTBF of more than 2 million hours. Pricing starts at $1,670.
