The N-Tron series NT5000 Gigabit managed layer 2 Ethernet switches from Red Lion are designed to improve network security and reliability. The graphical user interface includes a view showing active ports, power supply, temperature and contact relay status of the switch, and color-coded gauges for port traffic and events to allow administrators to identify and address possible network disruptions in real-time. NT5000 switches are available in 6, 8, 10, 16 and 18 port configurations in all copper or a mix of copper and fiber options. These switches have a metal enclosure, wide temperature range, shock and vibration tolerance and various compliance certifications, including UL/CUL ordinary and hazardous locations, FCC/ICES/CE and ATEX/IECEx. The NT5000 switches feature password encryption, multilevel user access and MAC security and support for IEEE 802.
