Overview
The Red Lion N-TRON 708FX2-SC is a fully managed 8-port industrial Ethernet switch engineered for mission-critical industrial applications. Combining six 10/100BaseTX copper ports with two 100BaseFX SC fiber ports, this switch delivers robust network performance in harsh environments ranging from -40°C to 85°C. It features N-Ring™ technology with approximately 30ms network healing, redundant power inputs (10–30 VDC), and comprehensive management via web browser, SNMP, and N-View™ OPC monitoring — making it well-suited for factory automation, electric utility substations, transportation systems, and process control.
Features
- Six (6) 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 copper ports with auto-sensing speed, duplex, and MDIX
- Two (2) 100BaseFX SC fiber ports (multimode, 2km range)
- N-Ring™ technology with ~30ms fault healing and ring map/fault diagnostics
- Full SNMP and web browser management with N-View™ OPC monitoring
