The Allied Telesis x530 Series of stackable and powerful multi-Gigabit switches with high capacity and easy management, make them the ideal choice for demanding distribution and high-speed connectivity applications.

The Allied Telesis x230 Series of Layer 3 Gigabit switches offer an impressive set of features in a compact design for flexible deployment. Power over Ethernet capability makes them ideal for connecting and remotely powering access and security devices at the network edge. Allied Telesis x230 Series switches provide an excellent access solution for today’s networks, supporting Gigabit to the desktop for maximum performance.

Sometimes you need to interconnect devices from a control station to a remote site and traditionally a network cable or fibre cable needs to be trenched between sites and installed in a protective conduit. There can be many obstacles in the cable path including, roads, water, buildings, private land, distance limitations of copper cable and most importantly, cost. Wi-Fi Bridging is one of the most cost-effective technologies for navigating these obstacles.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) is recommended and, in some applications, specified for environments where the protection of people and equipment is paramount. In the event of a fire, the sheaths used on the cable will release far less smoke and no harmful halogen gases when burning compared to non-LSZH wiring.

Moxa is pleased to add the SDS-3016 Series to our Red Dot award-winning product family. The new addition includes Gigabit uplink, eight additional ports, and an easy-to-configure Industrial Automation (IA)-profile that allows automation engineers to quickly process the increasing amounts of data within the smart manufacturing industry.

With HITRONIC SBX LAPP presents a new generation of splice boxes made of robust metal for installation in switch cabinets. The HITRONIC SBX fit on TH35 mounting rails and can be mounted on them in three different positions, making it easier for the installer to insert the cables. The splice boxes comply with IP20, the protection class required in control cabinets, and the temperature range extends from -40°C to +70°C. The splice boxes can be used in a wide variety of applications.

Moxa has introduced its new industrial cybersecurity solutions to bolster network security. The EtherCatch IEC-G102-BP Series industrial IPS can detect and block malicious traffic inside industrial networks. With the EtherFire IEF-G9010 Series industrial IPS firewalls, administrators can segment networks with fine-grained Layer 2 to Layer 7 firewall policies and IPS capability.

“Ethernet” has become mainstream and has been widely used in industrial automation networks. OT engineers could use OT NMS monitor Ethernet switches, routers, etc. network devices in OT networks; however, many onsite machines and devices with serial, I/O, and other hardwired interfaces are not updated simultaneously due to high cost, which requires edge connectivity hardware, such as serial device servers, protocol gateways, or edge computers, to communicate with Ethernet infra. Thus, those edge connectivity in the field sites is currently the blind spot of OT networks.
