Ethernet Switches

The Viper is a family of M12 ultra slim rugged Ethernet switches designed for applications with severe operating conditions and extreme environments. A MTBF (mean time between failure) calculated to more than a 100 years, makes these units ideal for situations where mechanical stress, moisture, condensation, dirt or continuous vibrations could adversely affect the function of standard Ethernet switches. The Viper switches are dedicated to safety critical applications such as railway systems, tunnels and traffic signal control. Their super slim extra robust housing makes it an ideal solution to be integrated in small areas. They meet the EN 50155 standard for electronic equipment used in railway applications. This line of products includes two eight-port managed Ethernet switches with or without ring functionality. With a reconfiguration time of less than 20 milliseconds, Westermo´s unique FRNT (fast recovery of network topology) technology is the fastest protocol on the market to re-configure a large
