Product Description

Process automation and transportation automation applications combine data, voice, and video, and consequently require high performance and high reliability. The ICS-G7848A Series full Gigabit backbone switches’ modular design makes network planning easy, and allows greater flexibility by letting you install up to 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The ICS-G7848A Series also supports Layer 3 routing functionality to facilitate the deployment of applications across networks, making them ideal for large-scale industrial networks.

The ICS-G7848A’s full Gigabit capability increases bandwidth to provide high performance and the ability to quickly transfer large amounts of video, voice, and data across a network. The fanless switches support the Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, and RSTP/STP redundancy technologies, and come with an isolated redundant power supply to increase system reliability and the availability of your network backbone.
