EL212F Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet Switch

Sixnet Networking Series

ExtremeLine Managed Industrial Connectivity

CONNECT. MONITOR. CONTROL.

The Sixnet EL212F is a 12 port (8 + 4G) managed industrial Ethernet switch designed to

meet the extreme requirements of power substations, traffic control, railway and other harsh

environments. By combining the high performance and security of enterprise-class switches

with rugged DIN-rail packaging and protected circuitry, this switch meets the needs of the

most demanding applications. With 8 fast Ethernet SFP ports, fiber or copper links can be

mixed and matched on the fly to provide the ultimate in port flexibility. Sixnet exclusive

mounting features also enables quick DIN-rail or direct panel deployment. The end result is a

managed switch that provides users with the lowest total cost of ownership of any industrial

Ethernet switch in its class.
