Gigabit Ethernet Micro Switches

5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Micro Switch, 4x 10/100/1000T, 1000BaseX Uplink, internal power supply with 230VAC input.

The Gigabit Ethernet Micro Switches are extreme compact and are designed for the tool-free installation into cable trunks and sub-floor boxes. The design in 45x45 mm grid is compatible to the major international electro installation systems. The Micro Switches offer the complete Gigabit performance on all ports. The uplink to the central switch is realised either by a fixed or pluggable optical transceiver. 

The Gigabit Ethernet Micro Switch has an integrated 230 VAC power supply. The equipment generally has an integrated network management system and supports all management standards from the web browser over Telnet up to the SNMP. Furthermore, the switches have all common security features such as VLANs, authentication according to IEEE Std. 802.1x up to accounting. 

The new generation now supports complete gigabit performance on all connections. The central switch is connected via an integrated 1000Base X fiber optic connection.

The complete Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality has been designed in accordance with IEEE Std. 802.3af and is supported of all four RJ-45 ports (10/100/1000Base-T). Intelligent power management monitors the current power consumption of the end devices connected.

The switch is generally equipped with integrated network management and supports all management standards from Telnet to SNMP and web browser. Furthermore, the switch has at its disposal features for data prioritisation, VLANs and authentication in accordance with IEEE Std. 802.1X.

The 6 port GBE Micro Switch Generation 6 constitutes an extension of the Gigabit Ethernet Micro Switch. In addition to the 1000Base-X fiber optic uplink, for linking to the central distributor, this switch has an additional RJ-45 downlink 10/100/1000Base-T.

This additional connection is positioned at the rear of the switch and is also covered after the installation. This additional connection can, amongst other things, be used for cascading other Micro Switches in order to obtain additional connection capacities. The interconnection of two switches via the TP port offers to increase the reliability of the network. If one fiber connection is interrupted the neighbouring switch handles the data traffic via RSTP.

A powerful Linux-OS offers additional services and feature for future use. The use of memory-card shortens maintenance and service windows. Intelligent power management monitors the active current consumption of connected end equipment. The switches are powered by an external 230V AC.

With the Medical Switch, MICROSENS is setting new standards in terms of performance, reliability, and security for data networks in medical technology, hospitals, and medical practices. The device exceeds the strict stipulations in terms of electromagnetic compatibility, as well as the requirements of the Medical Products Law. The network accesses are decoupled galvanically by means of special insulators to protect patients and devices against fault currents from the network. For particularly high demands placed on network security in the medical environment, the Medical Switch offers extensive security features, which make sure that confidential data will actually remain confidential. The Medical Switch builds on the proven, decentralised network architecture. The economic efficiency of this architecture has been established through independent surveys and numerous projects.

The freely-accessible network ports of the MICROSENS Medical Micro Switch are equipped with special, galvanically-isolated transformers. The minimum distance between the pri-mary and secondary connectors is 8 mm. Due to their minimum dielectric strength of 4,000 volts and 2x MOPP insulation resistance in compliance with IEC/EN 60601-1, the insulators effectively prevent endangerment of both patients and medical personnel in the case of a failure or voltage flashover.

Our extremely compact switch excels through its minimal space requirements which allow it to be installed in a wide variety of different installation environments, such as in ceiling installation units. Apart from a model with its own internal 230 VAC power supply, we also offer a Medical Micro Switch designed for power intake from an external 48 VDC medical power unit. In the case of our 48 V model, the deployment of a separate medical power supply also provides additional protection from the power supply device.
