OCTOPUS Switch Series

Description
The switch, which boasts a mean time between failure (MTBF) rating of 30 years, can be quickly and easily used on the plug-and-play principle. LEDs on the front of the unit display both device and network status, as well as functioning power supply status. The fanless design and redundant 24V power supply guarantee high operational safety. The switch can be mounted on the wall or on the machine itself, where its 7.24” W x 7.44” H x 2.75” D (184 x 189 x 70 mm) housing occupies very little space.
This new unmanaged switch is an interesting new variant for the Hirschman OCTOPUS Series. Sven Burkard, Belden’s Product Manager for Networking and Connectivity Products, summarizes the advantages of the new switch as follows: “We can now offer our customers ten Fast Ethernet ports at an extremely advantageous price. This enables the OCTOPUS 10TX to facilitate economical solutions, particularly in small, decentralized networks with large numbers of terminals.”
