Your Benefits
The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches, including high-port count variants, aredesigned to meet rising bandwidth needs, enabling more connected devices on thenetwork through a compact, yet powerful solution. With real-time communicationusing TSN, the switches maximize performance and security, even underdemanding conditions.These managed switches also allow for expanded bandwidth capabilities with theoption to adjust the SFPs from 1 to 2.5 Gigabit – requiring no change to theappliance.Enhanced network security is another critical component of any future-facingnetwork. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches support HiOS software and featureseveral compelling security elements, including IEEE 802.1x port-based accesscontrol, varying privilege levels, configurable password policies, security statusmonitor and audit trails.
Applications
The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches are an ideal solution for classicautomation applications that require real-time communication, advancedsecurity, low latency, and the simultaneous synchronization of data and informationto control operations.In addition, the high-port density options support a growing number of networkdevices, while the PoE option can power the growing demand of energy-hungrydevices, such as pan-tilt-zoom cameras or wireless access points. The appliance isbest for engineers, system integrators and machine builders looking for a powerfuland future-proof device.
Markets
With advanced security and real-time communication features, the compactmanaged switches are an essential appliance relevant to many industrial markets,including automotive, manufacturing, machine building, water management, and oiland gas.The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switches are also applicable in transportation andpower management applications, helping to deliver critical real-time information,like deterministic signaling and energy flow. With trackside approval according toEN50121, the switches can also be deployed in transportation, mass transit systems,and railway and train stations.The high bandwidth and port count, combined with a ruggedized design, are ideal forairports and seaports as well.
