D-Link unveils four Ethernet switches targeted for Industrial automation

D-Link has unveiled a line-up of Ethernet switches that are available in four variants – DGS-F3400, DGS-F3600, DES-F3200, and DGS-F3000. These switches are acclaimed to operate in extreme weather, resist shock/vibration, and surge ratings, thereby offering high redundancy and reliability. According to the company these switches are targeted for Industries such as the Oil and Gas industry, Mines, Manufacturing Plants, Shipping etc.

DGS-F3400 (Rack Mount) – The DGS-F3400 Series Layer 2 Modular Gigabit Industrial Managed Switches are equipped with 4 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP Ports and 3 open slots for 8GB port interface module. It features a fan-less design of DGS-F3400 Series that promises to extend the life of the switch and making it capable to operate in wider temperature range of up to 75-degree Celsius.

DGS-F3400 series switches are PROFINET certified and Ethernet/ IP ready, targeted for Industrial automation networks. DGS-F3400 series switches promise to help monitor performance and status as Modbus register and as an MQTT data point, allowing PLC or control unit to access diagnostic data in real time through Modbus TCP protocol. The DGS-F3400 series switches ensure to help provide crucial information to Big-Data Analytics engine.

DGS-F3600 (Rack Mount) – The DGS-F3600 Series Layer 3 Modular Gigabit Industrial Managed Switches are equipped with 4 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP Ports and 3 open slots for 8GB port interface modules. The DGS-F3600 series switches promise to provide L3 Dynamic routing protocol such as RIP and OSPF. The fan-less design of DGS-F3400 Series promises to extend the life of the switch and makes it capable to operate in wider temperature range of up to 75-degree Celsius.

DGS-F3600 series switches are PROFINET certified and Ethernet/ IP ready and are also targeted for Industrial automation networks. The DGS-F3600 Series is equipped with advanced security features and layer 3 routing protocols.

DES-F3200 (Rail Mount) – The DES-F3200 Series Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Industrial Managed Switches are equipped with 4/8/12/16 10/100 BASE-TX ports with or without PoE and up to 4 SFP ports. Equipped with fan-less design DES-F3200 series switches can operate in a wider temperature range of up to 70-degree Celsius.

DGS-F3000 (Rail Mount) – The DGS-F3000 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Industrial Managed Switches are equipped with 4 or 8 100/1000BASE-T ports with or without PoE and up to 4SFP ports. Equipped with fan-less design DGS-F3000 series switches can operate in a wider temperature range of up to 70-degree Celsius.

These D-Link switches integrate advanced management and security functions to support a robust IT infrastructure solution. Further, they are equipped with advanced security features such as static MAC, Storm Control, and IGMP Snooping. Being PoE ready, D-Link Industrial grade switches provide total PoE budget up to 240W, capable of supplying up to 30W of power per port to connected PoE enabled devices. This claims to eliminate the need for dedicated power supplies to allow PoE devices to be installed in a remote location.
