New slim type with more practicability and convenience After entering the Industrial Ethernet market with popular ISW / IFT series Fast Ethernet Switch / Converter products, PLANET now releases the advanced industrial hardened Gigabit Ethernet Switch series with new slim type, IP-30 metal case. The compact, IP-30 standard metal case allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet space. The IGS-501, one of the new series model, equips with 5 10/100/1000Mbps auto negotiation ports and operates reliably in Heavy Industrial demanding environments. Stable performance under difficult environments The IGS-501 provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -10 to 60 degree C, the IGS-501 can be placed in almost any difficult environment. The IGS-501 also possesses an integrated power supply source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC) for worldwide high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs. Robust Switch performance The IGS-501 offers high performance switch architecture. With the 5 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 10Gbps and the 8K MAC Address table, the IGS-501 can perform wire-speed packets transfer without risk of packet loss. The flow control function enables the IGS-501 to provide fast and reliable data transfer. The Gigabit port with 9K Jumbo frame supported can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in industrial topology that forward data to central control room. All of the RJ-45 copper interfaces in the IGS-501 support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. The standard Auto-MDI/MDI-X support can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.
