Introduction

The ToughNet TN-5500 series M12 PoE managed Ethernet switches are designed for industrial applications, such as rolling stock, vehicle, and railway. The TN series switches use M12 and other circular connectors to ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee reliable operation against environmental disturbances, such as vibration and shock. The TN-5500-PoE series Ethernet switches provide 8 or 16 fast Ethernet M12 ports with 4 or 8 IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE (Powerover-Ethernet) ports. The switches are classified as power source equipment (PSE) and provide up to 15.4 watts of power per port, and can be used to power IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices (PDs) (such as surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones) when AC power is not readily available or is cost-prohibitive to provide locally for rolling stock. In addition, the 24/48 VDC, or 110/220 VDC/VAC dual, redundant power supply increases the reliability of your communications and saves on cabling/wiring costs. Wide temperature models with an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C are also available. The TN-5500-PoE series Ethernet switches are compliant with EN50155/50121-3-2/50121-4 (railway applications), NEMA TS2 (traffic control systems), and e-Mark (vehicles) requirements, making the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
