?Westermo industrial switches Westermo SandCat

Westermo has launched a new range of unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches that offer a cost-effective solution for industrial applications.

Supporting 100 Mbit/s, the SandCat five port fast Ethernet switch series have been designed to meet the increasing network complexity, reliability and bandwidth demands of utilities, marine, manufacturing and energy industries.

The SandCat switches can connect multiple end-devices to the network and the availability of a fibre port enables communication over larger distances or different sites. Although managed switches are used widely to enhance the configuration and security of data networks, the SandCat series is suited to extend the port count of managed switches, enabling the installation of more end devices. The switches can also be used when a central device is required to create a physical topology for optimal redundancy and remote access or to act as a simple switch within factory automation applications.

The SandCat series is designed for mission-critical applications using DIN rail mounting in harsh industrial environments, allowing Ethernet connections to be established between drives, inverters, HMIs, PLCs, and I/O units. The switches meet EMC, isolation, vibration, and shock standards, enabling installation in challenging industrial environments.
